I was curious as to why you took 3 tight ends, and now I know. Of, course I took Jonathan Taylor in the 6th, so I have no room to talk.

At the second overall pick, it was pretty obvious with this format to take Ja'Marr Chase but then, way down at my second pick and 23 overall, I had QB-envy with Mahomes and Hurts going so early, so I panic-took Josh Allen. As such, my skill positions are relatively weak. I hope I didn't "homer" taking Kenneth Walker III too early, but at least it'll make watching the Seahawks games more interesting! Let's gooooo, Chateau Haut-BRRion!

My first time in this format too, without a required TE, but I drafted one, maybe 2, anyway.

Looking forward to a fun, relaxing season.

Status: offline 		I'm relatively satisfied, with a couple of exceptions. I'm still feeling weird about having taken Kelce with my first pick. In this league, I generally avoid all tight ends. And then I had a huge brain fart, aided by skifree, and took Jonathan Taylor as my 6th pick. What was I thinking?

As for Jonathan Taylor, well, he was good a few years ago.

that said. FF draft are like NFL draft, the season's not won/lost at the draft.. it's the week to week operations. and frankly, heads up FF is almost entirely based one thing and one thing only - LUCK

Your Commish let you down. We never decided on the number of winners and the specific payout and order. Last year, we had 10 teams with 4 winners, with the payout being:

4, 3, 2, 1 (bottles, 1st through 4th, respectively)

Question:

Do we want 4 or 5 winners this year? I suggest 5 to hold the interest of more teams.

Once we determine the number of winners, we can set the payout and the order.

last bottle could go to highest points last two playoff weeks among teams that didn't make the final four. That way at the very end of the season everyone who didn't make the prize winning top 4 still has a reason to play hard.

The only change I would like to see is the last bottle going to a team that did NOT make the playoffs. Otherwise, it is likely that the playoff teams will get the last bottle.

Status: offline 		Do four or six make the playoffs?

If six, that means two teams lose out of the playoffs in the first week. And then there's two more weeks?

Should those two teams be eliminated from the competition for the last bottle in the last two weeks of the playoffs, where they have no longer playing?

Or maybe I have the format wrong?.

And definitely I don't have a strong feeling, just throwing it out there

Based on Yahoo's opinion of your draft, this question is targeting you. If Yahoo is right, your only chance at a bottle is if you meet the criteria that Hank and I have been discussing.

Having said that, Yahoo is very consistent with the draft ratings.......as in consistently WRONG.

I was feeling pretty good about my draft until I saw Yahoo predicting me to finish the season 2 - 12. LOL!! Sooooo, I guess we'll just have to wait and see ... your Allen pick (as well as the Hurts pick) was one of many QB picks that snatched a QB right out of my Next Pick Plan! Going WR-RB-RB was never in my range of planned possibilities, but that's what happened, sooo ... eek!

Yeah, it took me a moment to fully appreciate that we didn't *need* to draft a TE. Kinda makes my Hockenson pick look like a reach.

I could go either way. If I have to vote, the put me down for 5. From a POV, more winners = more good.

I like your suggestion, but I am concerned about tracking all of the non-playoff team scores, during the playoffs. I forget....does Yahoo allow non-playoff teams to modify starters and perform add/drops throughout the playoffs?

Me, too. I'll adopt Mye's suggestion with one minor clarification. The winner of the non-playoff bottle will be for weeks 15 through week 17, unless Yahoo cuts it off at week 16, then it will be highest total score for weeks 15 and 16.
