Getting ready for this Saturday's draft.  Mike, could you scoot your chair slightly to the left?  My hidden camera has a good view of your wide receivers, but I need more info on your running backs.  Thanks.

You stole about every pick of mine last week....so here's a tidbit. I'm picking ALL Atlanta Falcons and Redskins, so just act accordingly and pick those up before I do...... :twisted:

Not dirty at all.  Didn't mention his tight ends, did I?

I posted this invitation in the Random Thoughts thread last week but this might be the more appropriate venue (though I am not ruling out posting a follow up in the Random Thoughts area later in the week   :)).

Yahoo's Survival Football

All you have to do is pick 1 winning team each week.  The challenge is that you can only pick a team once.  So picking the Patriots in week 1 takes the Patriots off your board the rest of the season.  For anyone who is interested:

Hi Mike -

Looks like we need one more in the Luddite league. Have you got someone lined up, or do we need to do some hard sell?

Regards

Mike

Hi all,

I'm ready to go.... Please PM me someone with the league login so I can get ready for the draft.

The Shrinkwraps will not be out done this year. :)


Hello Mrs. Cleaver, Theodore.

Gee, Mrs. Cleaver ... That certainly is a lovely dress.

Luddite Leaguers;

Smarmy has been given the last spot in the league...whoops, I was waiting for him to join and forgot to send him an invitation.   :oops:   Smarmy is a vet of fantasy leagues so don't let him trick you into thinking he is a "newbie".

I figured out how to fiddle the Keeper and draft settings.  We are going to draft "professionally" which means in inverse order of last year's finish (That means your Cubes draft last!!!).  Also have activated the "Keeper" setting...each returning team will be allowed to keep ONE player on your roster from last year, and as a result all returning teams (7) will draft AFTER all new teams (3).

So the draft order will look like:

1. New team
2. New team
3. New team
4. Dungeon Dwellers
5. Rogaloron
6. Big Lugs
7. Cone of Cold
8. Tegel Shrews
9. Iguanas
10. Cubes

For the returning teams (4-10) I will need your Keeper player (basically, your first round player) before Saturday morning to enter them.  Remember the Luddite League RBs are NOT as important as in some other leagues; QBs and WRs can put your team in the championship if you don't get lucky enough to have an LT or AP on your roster.  Yes Marquis Colston and Brandon Marshall were more valuable than Adrian Peterson last year.  Many league's have an over-reliance on the RB and there are so few #1 starting RB's each year in the NFL with the new "split back" options most teams take, that there are literally 2-3 RBs every year that dominate leagues to the exclusion of all all players. Here was the top 25 last year in the Luddites:

Tom Brady
(NE - QB)    516
Randy Moss
(NE - WR)    378
Tony Romo
(Dal - QB)     374
Brian Westbrook
(Phi - RB)     359
LaDainian Tomlinson
(SD - RB)    355
Peyton Manning
(Ind - QB)     344
Brett Favre
(NYJ - QB)    328
Drew Brees
(NO - QB)    325
Derek Anderson
(Cle - QB)    325
Ben Roethlisberger
(Pit - QB)    323
Matt Hasselbeck
(Sea - QB)     304
Reggie Wayne
(Ind - WR)    302
Terrell Owens
(Dal - WR)     299
Carson Palmer
(Cin - QB)     298
Braylon Edwards
(Cle - WR)    292
T.J. Houshmandzadeh
(Cin - WR)     291
Larry Fitzgerald
(Ari - WR)    288
Chad Johnson
(Cin - WR)     283
Kurt Warner
(Ari - QB)    280
Marques Colston
(NO - WR)     274
Brandon Marshall
(Den - WR)     272
Wes Welker
(NE - WR)     270
Clinton Portis
(Was - RB)    264
Joseph Addai
(Ind - RB)    263
Jay Cutler
(Den - QB)  256

To put it in perspective, I'll probably hold Brady over LT in the Luddite league (I had both players)....if returning teams want to see their roster from last year, click "manager" list then your manager name, it will pull up all your past leagues, from that you can get your last year's roster.  Good luck, email me if you have any questions.!

Wow... AP not in the top 25 for Luddite scoring last year.

Who to keep? I have Moss, Chad, Westbrook and AP. I can only keep one you say? Bugger.

As well as QBs and WRs.... make sure you have a decent long range kicker. Lots of points available there too.

I don't mind drafting in 10th.... sometimes having the 10th/11th picks is better than having 1st and 21st.

Regards

Mike

Yep I agree, sometimes hard to take 20 spots between picks.

Luddites can just email me their keeper by midnight Friday...I'll also email this to everyone through the site...

Bugger.  I've been researching things the wrong way round.  I must have misread something, damn internet drafts.  Now I have to rethink my whole strategy!?   Autodraft, yeah that's it....

Ouch: seven top players already gone!  I don't wanna go first.

The Cones of Light are going to blind me, tie me up, and take my pocket change.


Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day, and for once I'm inclined to believe...we are indeed drifting into the arena of the unwell.

There will be some VERY good RBs available with the 1st three picks...basically, the top three rated RBs it looks like...... :wink:

I agree with Paul.
Last minute change to the biggest part of the leagues rules makes all previous work done useless piles of garbage.
I wish we could simply use the rules that we used last year, as was posted when you were asking for more managers to participate in the luddittes this year.
If we all want a keeper league next year, let the team managers vote this year to make it a keeper league next year.

Especially when you already have Moss, or Westbrook...........
Can you say Fantasy domination from the start?
Its like getting THREE first rounds picks.

The new guys are bascially toast.
What players do they get to keep from last season?
If none, then they are getting one first round pick and ALL the old team managers will have TWO first round picks.
Think on it please.

A keeper league is fine, but not the way this seems to be heading.
