With kickoff slowly approaching who plays FF? Do you have a preference with the number of teams in your league? We played with 12 last year, 6 in each division. We may play 4 in 3 divisions this year. Which site do you prefer? How do you decide the order of your draft?

i suggest no more than 3 leagues and no more than 12 teams/ league and do a live draft.

scoring: 1 QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1 TE, 1K, 1D. some leagues i play in use a flex position in place of the 3rd WR.

I generally play in at least 2 leagues of 12-16 teams. Most often the draft order is chosen at random. I like yahoo just because i've been playing in the same league for the last several years....a different guy starts it each year and we all sign on. I have talked with some guys that I play with about starting a "keeper" league. Does anyone have any experience playing in one of these?

We always played yahoo until last year, the boss switched to espn. I liked both, I dont have a preference. What is a keeper league?

In a keeper league you keep the same players every year with a limited number of allowances for drafting/retiring players. It makes it a little more intricate and can make trades/drafting much more important.

I dont know if I would like that, that def sounds challenging.

ESPN was no good for us. We switched to CBS. Much better!

10 or 12 teams is perfect.

I am going for my 3rd title in a row in my league with friends. How? Not following that stupid notion of using your top 2 draft picks on big name running backs. As ESPN The Magazine says, "The era of the 3 down back is dead." Running backs will emerge. Quarterback will not.

If you have a league that gives points for completed passes get Drew Brees, with Shockey added he's going to be a Fantasy beast this year.

I was in our championship game last year, it helped I had Adrian Peterson, I still lost. I always toy with the idea of whether or not to pick two RB in my first two picks.

anything more than 12 is a tough league.

rpvol · 07-23-2008, 11:17 AM

we could do a yahoo league for people here if we could get 10 teams. anyone interested?
