Have a 12 team ppr draft this weekend and am considering LeVeon Bell with 10th or 15th (probably not happening) pick ... for those of you who have been in some real 12 team drafts, about what pick has DWill been going -- has the Bell owner been getting him? The Huddle draft adp tool shows him as the 29th rb at about pick #88 -- 8th round -- I would be hoping to get him with the 82nd pick (7th round) ...?

Commissioner's job to monitor this kind of thing. You can't do much if it's a one week occurrence -- anybody can make a dumb move or have an oversight. But it the situation repeats, then the commish should step in -- it's best if the league has some established guideline (automatic forfeit going forward, commish / computer set lineup?) I agree that there should be some repercussion for future involvement in the league. Inactives is a problem that has no good solution other than to have league members who don't do it. For your situation -- no solution -- just have to live with the "unfairness."

nope -- got Tannehill so I'm okay with that

Always a joy to read .......... still laughing .... I'll take it any time you find the time. Thanks.

No problem with manager taking first pick -- IF it was stipulated up front as his "fee" for managing the league, before the rest joined the league (new league so maybe that was the case). The rest is just stupid -- in ff you have to live with your decisions -- that said, I am emailing my league manager to get him to let me put Ivory back in my lineup.

So now the Saints are officially the Patriots south!

I just used the Draft Wizard in an offline draft -- first time using computer rather than paper/pencil. Although I found the entering of each pick somewhat distracting, I found the software valuable. Since I put in my own rankings (adjusted from Huddle) and did a bunch of mock drafts before hand, I found the prediction element (what % chance of player being gone by next pick) to be valuable and pretty accurate (just missed C. Palmer by one pick -- after watching tonight, maybe that wasn't a bad thing) -- it helped. I'm not sure it was worth the price and have heard some reports of difficulty synching with CBS drafts, but I do think it's useful.

DMD just can't shake the P. Manning / Colts connection .... I'm an old guy .... have the same problem.

Anybody have any updates on this situation?

Our league implemented a new rule this year that players listed as "out" can still be replaced during the playoffs even though the waiver wire closed after the regular season. Where can I find an "official" injury list and how early in the week?

Why does anybody NOT do decimal scoring? Back in the day when I was adding up scores off the newspaper, I wouldn't have done it ..... but now?

oh, but he does

That probably is the best -- it adds to the strategy of the game. We (or should I say the commisiioner - me) just haven't wanted to go to the trouble.

We do reset and I think it's the thing to do. It keeps our league competitive -- if you're hit by some big injuries early (or disappointments) you can get back in it. But there's no guarantee -- just because you get first crack, doesn't mean you get the best pickup. We charge $5 per transaction, so that sometimes enters in. And we used to limit the number of buys, but don't anymore. The guy who is first on the wire usually takes the most obvious option, but that doesn't always pan out. I've seen somebody disappointed because they couldn't get that player and "settled" for someone else who then goes on to have a great season (and of course they congratulate themselves on their wise choice). If you're just a "notch below the elite" you probably don't need to improve that much and there's probably somebody out there that next week you'll be saying "why didn't I grab that guy." I agree with Judge Smales -- this is where some of the huddle stuff is at its best.

unfortunately, I needed more .... but glad he wasn't hurt
