Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops - Page 4

How does this work exactly? I am still not sure how the betting and losing of sticks works.

If it matters, i've never played Fantasy football.

Coach Deg · 08-25-2012, 10:01 AM

This is going to be confusing!!!!!! My money league draft is at 7 next Sunday!!!!!! I'm still in.

So did you gents figure out who will be collecting the sticks? I have my buy in and the troops amount ready to be sent to whoever.

Jarrod, thanks for stepping up and taking over the thread for Scott!

Stephen · 08-27-2012, 10:55 AM

Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in!

shilala · 08-27-2012, 02:28 PM

Wow, everyone is signed up. Freakin fabulous, gentlemen!!!

Cole, I don't know what we're gonna do about gathering sticks yet, but in all likelihood I'll do it. It just makes sense.

I would like to offer some pre draft advice just in case we have any new players.

A good kicker can make or break your season, so make sure you draft the best available with your 1st pick, and a good back up kicker with your 2nd pick, just in case your 1st one gets injured.

If you would like to donate a 5pk to the troops for this great advice, please feel free!
Thank you

You know what's funny, is we actually pulled one of these over on a person playing FF for the first time...he drafted the Bears D in the 2nd round in our draft in 2009...all in all he had a 6-7 season, so not horrible

shilala · 08-27-2012, 02:50 PM

Solid advice, Travis!!!

It'd be a good idea to take a long look at Billy Cundiff, he's going to be well rested once the season starts.
My wife employed this strategy last year and Mason Crosby was the #1 pick in our neighborhood Pink Flamingo League. We just discussed it at draft on Saturday (for another league). She was really happy when I gave her updates letting her know Mason was still available.

(In her defense, she wasn't familiar with Yahoo's draft, it was just a mistake. A really, really fun mistake.

Update, just realized Sun is our holiday at work...

I;ll take Dan Baily with my first pick.

TJarv · 08-27-2012, 07:22 PM

Anymore room?

If I was POTUS for a day my one and only act would be to have Dan Bailey waterboarded.

Good draft everyone!

For some of us. Others waited way too long to draft a quarterback.

I was working under this assumption and that Jarrod was going to keep track of all bets, etc.

shilala · 09-03-2012, 09:23 AM

Stephen is correct. You guys can send the smokes to me and I'll keep track of that end. Jarrod is going to keep track of bets and keep a running post going here.

mkarnold1 · 09-04-2012, 10:37 AM

It looks like I got a pretty good squad via autodraft. At least I hope it was autodraft and not Mattso3000 as I had a backup QB and TE (worthless, wasted picks IMO). I solved that problem by grabbing the top RB's on the ww. Evan Royster was still available and he was just named the #1 RB on the depth chart, of course with a Shanahan run team that could mean he gets 0 carries. Good luck guys, can't wait for this football season to get underway!
