I don't have the slightest idea how fantasy football works

It's pretty simple, really. So you draft players to fill positions on your team via a draft (usually a snake draft where it rotates, sometimes an auction where like an auction you try and get the players you want but only have a certain amount of points to do so. Depending on how many positions a league has (for example, a league can have 2 QB's, 3 RB's, 4 WR's, 2 TE's, etc) will determine the extent of talent throughout the league. A standard league is like 10 teams with 1 QB, 2 RB's, 3 WR's, 1 TE, 1 Kicker, 1 Team Defense, and 2 flex positions which you can slot in almost every position except usually QB, Defense or kicker. 

Now the scoring for fantasy football is very simple in the standardized form. For a QB, 25 passing yards is a point. For a RB, 10 yards rushing is a point. For a RB, WR, or TE, 10 yards receiving is a point. A passing TD from a QB is 4 points whereas a rushing or receiving TD for any position is 6 points. The kicking and defense points are a little more complicated but basically that's the gist of it.

Andy had one already.

Fx Stryker Andy's isn't a fantasy football so to speak. You would have to ask him. It's like we just pick the winners each week and he keeps track of who is ahead at the end of the season. There is a Fantasy Football Section here on the forum maybe you can find an answers in that section.

Sorry Fx I guess I was wrong because I saw that Andy did have a Fantasy Football and he also had the other thing I was talking about I think. I know someone had that where we just picked the winners each week and the person that had the most wins at the end of the season won it.  That was what I was in. He must run both. That's a lot of work for Andy. I may be totally confused as to what I'm thinking about. Wouldn't be the first time. haha

You are correct lovely susie, Andy has a fantasy league which had 3 leagues in it and going down to 2 this year.  He also had the post with picking the winning teams throughout the league each week.   Looking forward to both starting up again.

I've been in leagues a lot longer than you've been alive.  You really need to join a free league on ESPN or CBSsports.  You'll have a blast.

 

The only problem is you start looking at games completely different.  I've had to convince myself that I always root for the Colts first and then for my fantasy team players, no matter who they're playing.  It's tough when your fantasy team guys play the Colts.

I would go as far as to say YOU have never commished ONE?  

 

Am I wrong?  

 

If so please tell me why YOU would welcome ding dong's into a "competitive" FREE league?

 

 

Not being a *....           but you wouldn't know that...  Would YOU?

Lol Colts fantasy football judge, jury, and executioner.

Easily.

 

1. Minka Kelly

2. Adriana Lima

3. Katrina Bowden

4. Selena Gomez (she's not hot but cute as #) 

5. Jessica Alba

 

I think any positive list that starts with Minka Kelly is a good list, indeed!     :thmup:

 

I'm talking a Super Blue Chip talent!   A top pick in any draft!     A real franchise player!     :thmup:

 

Nice to know that at my age my heart can still get to racing!    (If you know what I mean!)       :thmup:

I commish a league every year, last year being an exception as I was moving and didn't have the time or energy to put everything together. But other than picking a time that works well for everyone to live draft I don't find them that difficult.

However, my comment to you was merely a joke, as I'm fairly sure the poster you were quoting was just kidding.

And for the record I had a friend who accidentally drafted a defense in the first round (dumb dumb accident not intentionally as he knows better) and he finished runner-up. One dumb pick doesn't always drown you lol.

Thanks Coltman51 at least I haven't lost my mind in the last couple of months. haha  I think I will stick with the weekly picks.

Andy can do what he wants...  but we had a REALLY good league last year ...     a "forum"  league.     But a couple had "pressing issues" and simply could not make the time to adjust the roster.... .    

 

and their teams sucked....  imagine that ...     

 

Point is we had ONE team draft ALL rookies...   that team should have been deleted ASAP  if we want a "competitive" league

 

And I personally think THIS FREE league could be VERY competitive....       it would be a feather on one's cap IMO,

Nothing kills a league like a guy who auto drafts, and never changes their lineup. Just brings the league down.

      Richardson day to day with abdominal, oblique injuries

      By GoColts8818 · Posted

      Yeah because AR wasn’t 100%.  The Colts are clearly being protective of him after last year and frankly the Luck situation.  Irsay has said more than once they learned from the Luck mistakes and would be more cautious with AR.  You are trying to create QB controversy that doesn’t exist.

      No he was signed to be a backup to AR.  Just like Gardner last year.  The Colts have no plans for him beyond being a backup who they hope doesn’t play much.

      Richardson day to day with abdominal, oblique injuries

      By GoColts8818 · Posted

      The only game he’s gone out of and comeback in in was the Steelers game and it was clear he wasn’t close to 100%.  Again he’s been legit injured.  That has nothing to do with toughness.  That’s pure and utter nonsense.  If you want to question if he is durable due to the injuries or is he injury prone that’s fair and a very different conversation as there is lots of proof to suggest those things are very big concerns.

      Richardson day to day with abdominal, oblique injuries

      By Trace Pyott · Posted

      Like I said it’s one of the three scenarios.  Is he just the most unlucky guy in the nfl to basically get knocked out or injured in every game he’s played in,  is it his toughness , or is it his durability? I’m mostly talking about the games that he got sidelined and then came back in. Why did he go out if he was capable of still playing?  Maybe I’m remembering it wrong. Oh and  When I say toughness of course he’s tough. He’s in the nfl.  What I am referring to is what I would call  stupid toughness, like let’s say he’s hurting and for better or for worse he leads the team even though he’s not feeling 100%.  Is he the type of player that has that psychotic level drive in him?  It just seems like after every hit he has the look on his face like “ oh my god that hurt”. Maybe he’s just really expressive but It looks almost like every hit rocks him and I’m just asking the question does he have a low pain tolerance or is he just not durable?   I def don’t think he’s under some curse that makes him have bad luck to get hurt in almost every game he plays. There has to be an explanation on why it keeps happening to him.

      Taking a poll on Richardson and everyone's views...

      By IinD · Posted

      I think (hope) it will all come together and finally click for him and he'll be our long term QB. If not we'll bottom out and try again at the top of the draft like most teams do until they get it right.    AR is an intriguing one because he's got all the stuff you'd want a QB to have. He's just gotta put it together.  If he can't put it together, he'll just be another in the long line of top picks who busted.
