darin3 1,687 Posted August 20, 2015 Pretty serious run on defenses in league 1. Glad I took two of them when I did.. I never... ever... take defenses early. Well, guess that just changed. I simply didn't like what I saw at ANY position player spot and figured I'd grab the #1 (on many lists) in BUF. I think they'll have some big weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they'll have some big weeks.In a typical redraft of 10-12 teams, I'm there with you. But seeing as we can't "stream" defenses here and there was no other player slapping me in the face (after T Smith was finally snagged 5 rounds after where he should have been) - I figured why not try to gain advantage by holding two potential top 10 defenses. Should have something there to be happy about week after week.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irish 1,823 Posted August 20, 2015 the next drafter hasn't logged on in close to 2 days...and I have no manners when a draft's ongoing...you should see me in-person draft... You're probably great entertainment at an in person, live draft, relentlessly ribbing people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should have something there to be happy about week after week.. I would say that with the best ball format you get the ultimate stream defense situation in that your best one automatically gets the nod - thing is you just have to identify now which ones you want as part of that stream instead of guessing every week.

BA Baracus 1,336 Posted August 21, 2015 Nah no rush, at least not from me, wasn't my intention sorry. Just pointing stuff out and having some fun. No worries. I didn't even read the thread b4 I posted, so I wasn't responding to anyone...just knew I had been OTC for a while so thought I ought to check in real quick.

Gopher 741 Posted August 21, 2015 For what it's worth, my comments were very general in nature. Not meant to be intended towards anyone in this draft (or the other MB draft, for that matter). I haven't really paid attention to who has been slow and who hasn't, and the draft has moved along just fine, in my opinion. It's the ones that don't move for 24 hours plus, repeatedly, that get on my nerves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flemingd 992 Posted August 23, 2015 How the hell did Lynch last until the 2nd rd in league 1? Because in a best ball league his steady-eddie floor isn't as compelling as it would be in a league where you have to decide your starters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would disagree with this, as Lynch put up top 5 RB stats last year in this format. I'll more than gladly take steady over the likes of CJ Anderson, Demarco Murray, LeSean McCoy, etc...

I'll more than gladly take steady over the likes of CJ Anderson, Demarco Murray, LeSean McCoy, etc... He went RB6 in a PPR league. Only RB that went before that is possibly a mild suprise would be Anderson, and its already been argued about his spot vs other backs. Honestly don't think its that suprising. He still went in the top 15 picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steelhead 3 Posted August 23, 2015 So what happened? I logged in and re-upped from last year then never received another email. Check in here and see I'm not in a league anymore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flemingd 992 Posted August 23, 2015 Well the draft is a week old, 20+ rounds completed. If you are just now checking in on it, that might be a huge hint about it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steelhead 3 Posted August 23, 2015 Sorry I don't get what you mean by hint. I would just like to know why I didn't get any email or pm or whatever when the draft was gonna start or that I was even dumped from the league. It's not like I live on this site and check it daily.

DMD did send out an email asking the people in the 3 leagues to login to confirm returning. Maybe your email address on the league site from last year was wrong or out of date? Or email got put into spam filter? Anyway its done now, I'm sure there are other free bestball leagues out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
