My quick stab at what the Draft Board looks like with keepers populated by team

Edit to add @cole256 keepers

Actually, when you've made it a keeper league they give you the option to set each round if you choose to.  Awesome.  

Good deal, looks like you’ll have to manually set each round picks ahead of draft but that’s nice it has the functionality.  I knew I handed this off to somebody smarter than me lol.  Good job commish

I'll see once I get keepers entered.  I think I saw where you can manipulate the draft order before drafting. 

Yes, I think that's just setting the overall draft order, not by round.

I read up and then just kept it simple, which was the goal all along.  Use the standings from last year,  worst to first.  Those bottom teams were clearly lacking the talent to even pick from.  Allow those teams to have the first pick in each of Rounds 1 and 2 before snaking it back starting in Round 3.

I don't think Yahoo will allow you to keep same draft order 1st and 2nd round, then go to a snake format in 3rd round. You would have to draft offline and then enter picks after the draft to do this. Once draft order is set and you set it up for live online draft, the draft order snakes each round.

Perhaps if any of the other players have Family outsiders that might interested, they could fill our spot. 

I've got another fraternity brother I can ask and would probably play.  He's a UGA fan but will stay active at least.

How do we extend the invite to Cole? Need an email from him? I will let him take over the best roster that was left behind to allow him solid options to keep. 

I'd wait for other responses of existing league members until your deadline.  I'd then send him screenshots of available rosters of teams not rejoining and let him pick a team to takeover.

Go to commish tools-->Manage Other Teams-->Transfer Teams-->enter Cole's email address into slot next to team to transfer.

If you don't get responses from anyone else on board who wants to join to get to a 12 team league, you will need to delete the other teams from the league that you haven't heard from.  All of these players will role back into draft pool.

What are the keeper rules going to be commish?  Any 3 players on my roster at end of last year?  If that's the case, it doesn't seem too fair as I would keep Cook, Chubb, and Kelce 😎 (and I'm ok with that btw lol).

I've normally seen keepers done based on the round the player was selected in the previous year draft to at least add a little strategy.  In the case where you go by rounds and I get 3, I'd probably take (Cook in 1st, Chubb or Kelce in 2nd, and Lamb in 12th).  In the live draft, I wouldn't have a 1st, 2nd, or 12th round pick.  Just food for thought on how you set it up.

ETA:

A team can choose not to select any keepers from their previous year's team and they'd get a pick in every round based on their draft slot.  If someone chooses 1 keeper player, they'd be slotted by appropriate round and have a pick in all other rounds, and so on/so forth up to the max keeper amount.

Normally players that are dropped during the season lose keeper status for the next year, even if they are added by another team (such as Chubb in my case when he got hurt, somebody dropped him and I picked him up off waivers).  This is where FA slots play a role in managing your roster/bench space.  If players are traded, it has been my experience they don't lose Keeper status (in a legit honest league), but I've seen where they do to prevent a-holes from trying to collude and stack a team and then split winnings in money leagues.

Cool. That works.   I'll look over the rules and let you know.  

Right now it looks like we have 9 committed, including Cole. Would like to at least have 1 more for a 10 team league.  If the previous players don't respond by Saturday, we'll go with the line of thinking they aren't included this year.  I just want people that will play.  

@AUBwins My fraternity brother is one of the slots (BoKnowsUrTeamIsWeak), not on aufamily.  I'm sure he'll play again this year and stays pretty active with it.  I asked him to join one year when we were in a crunch and needed to fill the league to draft.

@AUBwins, I made you commish of the league as it seems like you are most involved with it, no pressure.  If you need help with league setup/transferring teams/keepers etc... just DM me.  I'm in to play, just don't have time to manage the league right now.

I've been getting a bit antsy over getting this going as well.  I do hope coastal is good. 

Hey Gents, WDE!!!  All is good over here, thanks for the good vibes and well wishes.  Longtime since I visited the site due to heavy workload right now.  I'll play and can renew league/send invites, but I don't really have time to manage it as commish this year unfortunately. Would be glad to make one of you co-commish or hand over the reigns if I can figure out how to do that in commish tools.  I'll probably spend most of the season managing from the Yahoo app.  I'm down with keepers if that's the consensus.  Let me know @AUBwins @McLoofus @Auctoritas @aubearcat @aujeff11(if you still are in ban-land, lol) @auburntiger1987 @weathergeakal @jAUSon @GwillMac6 @Tiger of who is in / who is out this year.  Any others besides @cole256, respond here if y'all would like to play and we can see if we can make numbers work.

@Coastal Tiger are you able to add an IR spot back or another BN if not? 

@AUBwins the IR spot is still there.  The IR position does not show up unless you have a player with an assigned injury designation.  You can "cheat" the system by dropping one of your players, then adding an injured player and then put that player in the IR spot.  You can then add another player to your bench or wait until waivers have expired for the player you dropped and add him back.

ETA: I'm not adding another bench spot for a 12-man league since we've drafted already.  The waiver wire gets too thin, especially during bye weeks.  Covid-19 should make roster management a hell of lot of fun this year lmao...

Sorry @AUBwins, I've been offline for a while.  I'm down to do it again, I'll reset the league and send invites. 

 

ETA Draft Order

I set draft up for Monday 8/31 @ 8pm EST.  Does that work for everyone?  If not, I can move it as needed to accommodate as many as possible.  Jeff is still in with us.

Hard to believe as bad as Cam was in fantasy, Brees wil be worse.  Glad I didn't play Brees,  which contradicted what I was saying Thursday night lol. 

Have Brees in another league...very nice 0-2 start I'll be off to.  Have to love fantasy football 🤔

Naggy seemed to try to be too tricky at times. The one that sticks out is the 3rd and short and running Patterson into the line instead of using Montgomery or Davis. 

Reminded me of Gus...  I said it out loud in the hotel room watching the game last night 😂.

1 hour ago, aubearcat said:

Nah, I think by the end of the season he’s going to be good but last night was yeesh 

Agreed, Montgomery appears to be the most talented back by far in that backfield and I think ultimately he wins out and gets a 60/40 or 70/30 share of the work.  It appeared that Naggy didn't fully trust the rookie, but I think that will change once they look at tape.  It felt like CHI split carries/touches evenly between Montgomery, Cohen, and Davis.  If that trend continues, you may want to just put him on the bench and hold for as long as you can stand it..

Where I drafted, I felt the WRs that were available offered more value than the available RBs. 

You did good, I was at that crossroads at 9 spot and couldn't pass on the RBs avaialble.  I got star struck lol

That middle portion of Ben’s team is a beast. Kamara, Jones, and Kittle 👀. 

 

Very stout indeed.  I went hard in the paint on RB's and happy with results pre-game 1.  This draft, more than most, will define my season

I'd rather pick 12th than 9th-10th this year, I think. It can be fun to get the 2 consecutive picks. That is a long ass wait between, though. 

Yea, thanks random Yahoo draft picker 😂.  Picking 9th in my money league tonight also, lmao...thanks again random Yahoo draft picker 🤔.  May have to go play the lotto this week with some 9's.

All I can say with picking at the turn with a 90s clock, is that you better be committed once that wait has expired.  Inevitably, every turn pick I've ever had, I've been ready and the the guys right in front of me pluck both picks I was waiting to choose.
