    Will my pick be made automatically if I am not online at 8?

    Yes. You can even pre-rank your picks if you like.

    When it autodrafts, the computer only will draft for the highest ranked player in a position you have not yet filled.

    That was a good draft. Autopick killed me. Tony Romo is your starting QB, Ray. ;-)

    I got an email from NFL.com. They are projecting me at 9-4, tied for 1st! I'm doomed....

    I said Hey! YOU drafted!

    I got a B+, with a projected 7-6 record, tied for 6th.
    Those projections are all BS though. They don't know anything.

    In another draft I did I got an A, with a projected 7-6 record, and a 2nd place finish. Tough league!

    Heh. Our first draft today netted me an A rating with a projected record of 10-3. And 3rd place finish. (Are we a league of 3 powerhouses and the rest fodder???) :shrug::roflmao: (And I thought that after the 3rd round, my draft fell apart)

    I think I just got hosed in the NFL.com fantasy football league. I was playing Lizard's team I think and he didn't start a defense so I though I looked pretty good heading into tonight because he was done and I was down by 9 points with Sammy Watkins playing. Now I look and he picked up the Ravens D and has them starting. I didn't know you could make add/drops after kickoff on Sunday. I'm a little upset about this.

    IIRC, as long as the game hasn't been played yet, you can add/drop for a player (or team yet to be played) The only stipluation is the player (or team) that is dropped would have had to be on the bench or not played yet.

    How do you know when he picked them up? If they're on the bench and the game hasn't started, you can move them to your starting roster before the game begins.

    According to the site he made the add/drop fourteen hours before 7:30 central time last night. Now I'm not mad that another team was able to salvage some points I'm more ticked that I didn't know that it could be done. I was operating under the belief that everything locked at kickoff Sunday afternoon

    Ah, yes. I misunderstood the question. This is correct. You can play a player up to 5 minutes prior to the kickoff of their game. (Provided you don't currently have a player in that slot whose game has already started)

    It has always been this way. Rules haven't changed.

    Playoff time, and I've been bounced in a few of my leagues already. I'd like to extend a big FU to Peyton Manning for getting two lousy fantasy points last week for me in several of my leagues. :noose:
    Better Ingredients. Better Pizza. Better not draft Manning again next year. :lol:

    same thing happened to me with manning in one league, and I had ben on the bench, which would've won me the game.... totally forgot that manning is less effective in cold and windy weather

    I got some notices from NFL.com/Fantasy via email the other day. Anyone know if we are going to have two leagues again this year, keeper league? fresh starts?

    Thanks for reminding me, Thorn.

    My schedule has been hectic and is showing no signs of easing up. Frankly, I did not do a very good job of running things last year. I was too distracted. I will set things up again and try my best of course. But if anyone else has the time and desire to take over as commissioner, I will humbly and gratefully step down. My only wish is for all of you to have a fun and active league.

    Any takers? ;)

    That said, it really is time to get the ball rolling. Once again, if you're interested in playing, post here. As well as your preferred draft day/time. IIRC, we had 2 leagues last year. How many we run this year will depend on interest. I would be cool with a 2 keeper league if the same league all came back and wanted it unanimously.

    Ready. Set. Go.

    I'm in. This year I promise to actually keep up with it. Lyme disease isn't crippling me, wife's not working full time out of the house...I've got more free time.

    Taking a big step backward as you ask for volunteers to step forward. :)

    I'm always happy to help anywhere I can, but can't manage the league. The keeper league doesn't really appeal to me.
