I was just being a dick. Nothing is personal. I'm still steaming from losing to a kicker on Monday night. A kicker we had in camp no less, and just because I decided to go away for the weekend. I'll have to rethink my smartphone hatred I guess. Signed for keeper league, which is rather obvious since I suggested it on the league site. Also signed for moving to ESPN. I have no preference between Yahoo! and them, so I'll go with the herd on that one.
Espn vs yahoo: don't care Keeper: sure, why not? But for year 1, I don't think we should keep that many players, considering its week 9 when we decide this (maybe). And I think keepers have to be on rosters right now. Otherwise, for example, I wouldn't have cut Britt, so I could keep him for next year. Im sure there are other players like that. And its fantasy football, without trash talk, its nothing.
I wouldn't be against turning the current league into a keeper league, but it would make more sense to start it with a new draft. What kind of keeper league are you guys thinking? Just rookies or are all players eligible?
All players eligible, max 3 keepers, original round. If we start this year, we'd obviously bring that number down for year 1. I would be fine with a stipulation that IR players can be kept by the team that cut them.
I think if we start with only 3 keepers for the first year the fact that we're halfway through wouldn't matter much. Maybe next year we could keep more. Keeper + money league = Nice
Oh, and ESPN allows you to keep folks that you put on IR. The current TGG keeper league is a good example.
Do keeper next year. I didn't prepare my draft thinking that way. Plus i released Manning and I'd keep him....Based on my shitbag team Drafting with keepers in my other league got me Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and Aaron Rodgers as my 3 keeps. Going into the draft with the "for the future" mindset changes things. Or if u decide to keep give us an IR spot and let the owners who dropped their IR players like Charles and Manning get me back.
I'd rather just have the 3 from this years roster rather than start fresh, makes it more interesting rather than just starting over.
I would be fine with folks grabbing people dropped for IR reasons. I'm sure we could handle that all gentlemen like.
Why is it more interesting? It's a mid-season decision that gives some a competitive advantage, and some a disadvantage. Keeper leagues are supposed to add long-term strategy, not luck.
I was thinking maybe just 2 this year and 3 or 4 in future years. I don't like the idea of too many keepers overall since I'd like to keep the roster size the same. Obviously the IR guys would be eligible this year since we'll be moving to ESPN with an IR slot next season, so we'd use the same system for keeper purposes and guys like Manning and Britt could be kept.
There's an element of luck to all of this. I'm not sure a keeper league would have changed all that much to the way this year's draft panned out.
