NFL Fantasy

Anyone do it or interested in doing it? We could get a group from the forums and start a league.

I love me some fantasy football! You get some more people on board and I'll join. What site were you thinking about using?

I've always used ESPN but I'm trying out the NFL Version and I really like it.

Yea I've only ever use yahoo but I'm open to whatever

Alright so if we can get enough people 10 total lets get it started on NFL.com

I absolutely love football season (BIG Steelers fan here!) but have never done fantasy football. If someone will give me a rundown of how it works, or a place online to get a tutorial, I would be in.

Haha... thats awesome I'm a Steelers Fan as well.

Ok I'm an EAGLES fan so I feel a little out numbered. So basically how it works is you have a draft and everyone takes turns picking players. Every league is different when it comes to how many players at each position you get. Most of the time you get one qb, two rb's, two/three wr's, one te, one kicker, and one team defense. Like I said though leagues vary. So after you get a team each week you'll start a lineup because you will have bench players. You get points related to what the real player does on the field. So say you got big Ben. He throws a sixty yard touchdown. You would get points for the yardage and the touchdown. Points also vary by league.

To put it simply though you get points based on what the real player does the field. You just wanna remember to fix your team each week because having a guy a bye can kill your week don't fix it.

I already play in a league on NFL.com and we've been playing for a number of years. I would definitely join a TruckingTruth league. We'll probably wind up with enough players for several leagues. So what we should do is find out how many people would like to play and we'll divide ourselves into different leagues based on things like how seriously you take it and how long you've played.

Like I've played for a number of years and I could be pretty darn good if I cared enough about it. But it's a digital board game so I don't spend more than 10 minutes a week setting my lineup. But even a minimum effort every week from someone who has done it for a few years will be a pretty big advantage over someone who is brand new to it and really doesn't know the NFL players or fantasy strategies that well.

I also have friends that spend hours and hours every week doing player research, making trades, and running it like it's an actual NFL organization. They're just really into it. If you put new guys in the same league as the hardcore players it will be a slaughter.

So we'll divide things up so people are in leagues with others on their level.

And as far as money leagues versus no-money leagues......I say keep these leagues no-money leagues. We are all spread out all over the country so gathering everyone's money before the draft and distributing it afterward is going to be a pain. And to me, it's a board game that involves an awful lot of luck. I don't know about you guys and gals, but I work really hard and I have a lot of things I really need to be spending money on. Playing fantasy football isn't one of em.

So first things first - we need to create a list of people who want to play. Once we know how many people we'll have we can split them into leagues and figure out how to handle the draft.

As far as which website to use for it - let me take a look around. NFL.com is fine and we've used it for years. Yahoo I'm very leery about because they never build anything that's worth a darn. And I think we used to use ESPN but switched away for some reason. So I'll look into all of those and more.

So I'll do some looking around and I'll talk to some of my die-hard buddies. I'll figure out which website to use and how to organize this best. I'll also create a signup list. We have a few weeks to have our leagues organized and our teams setup so I won't waste any time getting the ball rollin.

Any and all ideas welcome!
