    Draft coming up! Good luck everyone! Hopefully I can do better than dead last! Let me know when you're collecting money. I can PP you it whenever.

    Also, just throwing it out there. Since there are 16 teams, can we do 1RB and 1RB/WR instead of 2RBs? There aren't 32 starting RB's in the league, so it makes it kind of difficult to field a complete team.

    If no one agrees then never mind image

    My time is severely limited right now so if you want to send a league wide message using the Yahoo fantasy football app asking if any of the teams have an issue with your proposal of 1RB 1RB/WR, please go ahead.

    I don't have an objection to it so if the others are on board with it, that's fine with me.

    Thanks,

    My answer in advance is no, no, no. Why mess with what we have had for a few years now? It is part of the game to seek out players who are under the radar and draft handcuffs for those who may go down. It is a deep league and that is what makes it enjoyable, anyone can grab 1 RB and have a good chance, but just like the NFL, some teams have it, and some teams don't.

    BTW, this is coming from someone who has never finished in the $$, so it isn't just a sour grapes attitude towards change.
  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,739 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I agree with gameused--there may not be 32 #1 backs in the league, but there are 32 viable ones. I like the standard lineup format the way it is--if it's not broke, don't fix it. JMHO.

    I enjoy the challenge of having to come up with 2 RBs every week,
    even though I've had to start some real doozys during bye weeks in the past.

    Gentlemen:

    Paypal just sent me a warning that my account will be in jeopardy if I continue to accept payments for fantasy football as they consider that gambling. (yeah, eye rolling here)

    That being said, everyone that has paid so far is fine.

    BUT, if you have not paid yet, DON'T PAY ME VIA PAYPAL.

    I guess we are going to have to go the snail mail route for everyone else.

    I sent you an email via the league page with my mailing address, but if you didn't get it, you can PM me here and I'll send it to you.

    Thanks, again please don't send Paypal payments if you haven't already, as I can't afford to get my paypal account shut down for "gambling". THanks!

    My bad, Mike. Really sorry to potentially compromise your account. Truth be known, that actually crossed my mind when I included the message I did, but then I thought to myself, surely not.

    Now if you'll please excuse me, I'm going to go place a call to PayPal and make sure it's okay if I sit atop my royal throne.

    Congrats to Tim's 'Grote15' team for winning our championship game in a rout!

    Tannehill and Beckham were monsters for you
    down the stretch, but why the heck was Zach Ertz on your bench?

    +1

    Thanks again, Mike, for sponsoring the league this year!

    Winning back to back champoionships is especially sweet this year after fighting through injuries and adversity earlier in the season, my team peaked at the right time, thanks in large part to Odell Beckham and Julio Jones.

    See everyone next year, when I go for the Three-Peat!!

    Thanks, Wolfie! I was hoping that keeping Ertz on the bench wouldn't come back to haunt me, LOL!

    Tannehill came through big time~he doesn't get as much credit from the Yahoo fantasy writers as he deserves.

    Merry Christmas everyone. I've learned from 40+ years of frustration with the Texas Rangers that there is always next year! for the other 12 of us, maybe that will be our year.
