Apolyton Fantasy Football DRAFT THREAD!

[Frozzy]

Taking a chance on an older player here. But I'm sure he still has legs. Though Rams have selected a rookie RB this year. Who knows how much action he'll get. but Faulk only played 11 games last year. So I figure his numbers have the greatest potential for increase. Far too often I choose the "safe" player who gets consistant points. But I always end up in the middle of the pack... or worse. I have to take a chance if I have any shot at winning it all.

You took Faulk despite the retirement/position change rumours?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Please explain a bit more. For instance, I believe the current BAPAY is a RB, and most of us already have one. But we have two roster spots for RB. So would I be given my 2nd RB, or would I be given the first BAPAY at another position?

Yeah, you'd be giving a 2nd RB IF he was the next in line in the 'Rank' listings.

Regardless of your answer and FWIW, yours seems a pretty user-friendly version of the forced pick. I will be travelling the first three weeks of August. Hope to get online often enough to avoid BAPAY, but needed to know just in case. (With any luck, it will be late enough in the draft for me not to care much.)

Well you could leave a small list with general points, like:

Round M: Pick the highest ranked RB (don't pick YYY or ZZZ though)
Round N: Pick the highest ranked WR

etc.

Btw, nice movement on the draft last night .

Reismark is up.

Thanks for the clarification and suggestion.

Berz and I work together like a well-oiled machine.

Reismark is up.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Olive oiled machine?

I am curious to see which scrub of a RB is available for me in the near future.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Emmitt Smith!

[gjramsey]

no doubt he will be available!

Wonder if I should chance it, and wait 24 more picks.

Hm. You have to wait 6 more picks, and it's unlikely all will be RBs. I think the BAPAY will probably be an RB at that point, so there should be good quality available.

[Imran Siddiqui]

No, it'll be a QB. Because we make completions equal to 1 pt (even with incompletions at -0.5), QBs are valuable. Even without that some are super valuable.

he's the all-time rushing leader. Surely that counts for something

I've heard the retirement rumours which he denies. Havn't heard anything about position change.

It's a business baby... what have you done for me lately .

[Japher]

I like Faulk as a pick. No matter what it's bound to be exciting...

I'm unclear on how this works. Is there a yahoo list that is specifically filtered through our particular league scoring rules? How do I get that?

(I assume I have access, maybe even already seen it, but don't fully understand what I'm looking at.

Does the BAPAY list include rookies, or is it based on last year's stats, or a 2004 projection, or what?

[reismark]

My apologies for the delay. Work has been a ***** today.

Give me about a half hour and I'll have a pick...
