Hey guys!

I've gotten great responses for our first league (which is full). I've gotten a few other guys saying that they would like to join, but because it's full they can't. Well here's your lucky day. If you are not apart of the other league and would like to play fantasy football, here's your chance.

I'm looking for :

- 11 interested people (may accept 9)

- Have Yahoo Accounts

- Are a part of this forum

Just drop me a message here and I'll send you more information. The draft will be in late August.

Ok, I've now joined. Slight proiblem for me is that being based in the UK, the draft will be after midnight UK time so I won't be able to take part live. Is it possible to set preferred positions in the yahoo game? (i.e. draft QB 1st round, RB 2nd round etc) If not then this is going to be a problem for me...

Well the draft is going to be at 1230 in England. Unless you're very young, you can stay up until 1230. Then you can partake in the early and middle rounds, then go to bed.

There will be no preferred positions. I've never been a fan of that, and not many people like it. Sorry :(

Guys, this league is not looking good in terms of numbers. English Colts left, so we need 6 more guys. Why don't you guys ask around the forum, because if we don't have 10 guys by the 15th or so, I'll have to close this one down.

Guys,

I changed the draft date to August 25th at 730. I figured, people should be there on the weekend, it's just after supper, but before the time where some of you guys like to go out (I assume).

Is it good for everyone?

Guys, here's how it's looking:

- We need 2 guys by August 15th

- Once we get that, we need 2 guys by the August 21st

Im doing this because, I don't want to just get a few guys at the last second, that aren't even that interested. We need to get guys that are excited.

Ok, so that's that.

Now, I don't really know many of you guys, so to make this more friendly and even comfortable, I think we should say a bit about ourselves. I'll toss out a few questions, with my answers in brackets:

1. Where you from? (Montreal, Canada)

2. Job (don't have to answer it if you don't feel comfortable)? (Journalist, Semi-Pro Golfer, and Football Coach during Fall)

3. How long you've been doing fantasy football? (6 years, with about 32 leagues)

4. Your favorite team? (Colts)

5. Your favorite player? (Peyton Manning)

6. Why you decided to do Fantasy Football, and why this league? (This is a great forum, and it'd be nice to have fun while getting to know some of you guys better).

If we answer these questions, everyone will be a bit more familiar with each other and it will make it more enjoyable. And if you're wondering if you did this in preschool, you did.

Cheers guys!

ok, let´s go

I´m from Innsbruck, thats in austria (central-europe), working as a Driver (car parts) and as filmer & "Stats Guy" for a local amateur football team. Of course I´m a Colts fan (since 04) otherwise I wouldn´t be here, my fav player is every Colt & Peyton.

That will be my fourth year of fantasy football, probably about 20 leagues...

this is my first yahoo-league normally doing nfl.com, I´m always searching for active leagues!

btw Drafttime is 01:30 am in central europe, but that´s no problem for me.

Do an ESPN one please!!

Yahoo has consistently been rated as the best FF site and has the most users. Im sorry, but I'm not going to make one on ESPN when realistically it would be you, me, and a couple other people.

Coltsguy511, it would make more sense for you to make an Yahoo Account (it's very easy and quick) and play on Yahoo. There are tons of fantasy games and there are many good apps like Finance, or Sports, or Mail.

I'd like to have you in this league, because I like reading your comments.

Consider it!

My team is Im Feelin LUCKy!!

The draft is on a saturday right?

That's very funny, because in my some of my other leagues my name is Andrew Feels Lucky and in one it's Im Feeling Lucky. For this league, it's Pagano Crime Family, so I like your name.

The draft is Sat. Aug 25 at 730. I figured it's after dinner, and if you like to go out, it's before that.

    • Rick Venturi today on the radio said he is more of a fan of speed with corners then what Ballard has done. He said young corners have to be able to recover from mistakes. I would almost like rodgers instead of Brent’s.
    • BBZ, what do you mean when you say Brents will be successfully targeted because of his size and speed? Aren't those his good traits? 
    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
