BAPAY list FF21

[-Jrabbit]

Thread for posting current top names, by position, for BAPAY purposes.

BAPAY LISTS

--Offensive BAPAYs are determined by Yahoo's player list, 2020 Season (total), sorted by "Actual" under Rankings (not the default "Projected").
--Defensive BAPAYs are determined by sorting the player list by 2020 Season (total), sorted by "Fantasy Points."

[Note: Yahoo "Actual" ranking uses 2020 NFL stats applied through our league's scoring rules. This means, among other things, that no rookie can be assigned via BAPAY, and guys injured last year will be pushed down the list.]

IF YOU ARE BAPAYED: You have the right -- within 10 picks or 24 hours, whichever comes first -- to change your assigned BAPAY to any still-available player. The BAPAYed player goes back into the draft-eligible pool. Any and all intervening picks by other teams stand. A card laid is a card played.

IRL, we're near the end of Round 3. For a BAPAY, once the position of need is determined, here are the current BAPAYs for offensive position players, in order:

QB - DeShaun Watson, Russell Wilson, Tom Brady, Justin Herbert
RB - James Robinson, Josh Jacobs, Kareem Hunt, Nyheim Hines, Mike Davis
WR - Tyler Lockett, Alan Thielen, DK Metcalf, Justin Jefferson, Allen Robinson
TE - Robert Tonyan, Logan Thomas, TJ Hockenson, Mark Andrews

This is posted merely as an assist. "Smart Bapay" would be a commish decision.

(re-post)
Are we doing smart Bapays for everyone, or just Walrus?

Regular Bapays are cruel, but they are predictable, mechanical, and tend to hurt only the manager who didn't bother to pick.
"Smart" Bapays take time, thought, and judgement, resulting in a better team, but potentially screwing other managers by taking their guy.

In the 3rd round, it's really harsh to assign a regular Bapay. Normally, we don't have this issue until much later in the draft. The Commish should make this call.

[SlowwHand]

Regular. Why should asses be busted trying to do the "right" thing, when Regular shows more interest than the Owner?

[Berzerker]

I thought smart bapays were the best available player for every managers need, ie dont bapay someone a 2nd QB if they still need a RB/WR/TE

and avoid injured bapays ofc

damn, I forgot to mention in the email about swapping out bapays

I actually like that rule even though it can cause problems, players picking after the bapay cant take the player who was bapayed if they're replaced later on and that kinda sucks.

[-Jrabbit]

Now that we've reached R4, normal BAPAY should be fine. First, figure out which position, then which player.
If you're unsure about what's correct, don't post your guess as a pick. Instead, just post the question and we will figure it out.

The Bapay Rules are posted. Now that we have a clock running and a time limit, we should be able to keep things moving.

Tonight marks 3 weeks to kickoff...

[Berzerker]

I dont know if Kittle played enough to make the bapay list but he's back in the player pool, I forgot to exchange him for Murray when Walrus took the QB instead

[SlowwHand]

Is the walrus a constant BAPAY, like now?
If so, I propose he needs a RB.

[-Jrabbit]

He has RB1/WR1/QB. Either a RB or a WR would make the most sense.

Current Bapay list says:
RB = Josh Jacobs LV
WR = Tyler Locket SEA

Based on scarcity, I would tend to agree -- RB now, WR in R5.

[Berzerker]

I still have his list and I noticed a problem with using bapays from last years stats. Jacobs would be the RB bapay but if we used the projected stats Dobbins is the bapay. Jacobs is sharing the backfield with Drake now so both of them have lower projections while Dobbins is a top 10 RB for the coming year. So I suggest bapays take both last years stats and the projected stats for this year into account. I wish I had looked at Robinson's proj stats before picking him because he must have competition too or some other reason for lower expectations and he shares the bye week with Elliott so week 7 will be trouble for me.

I'll make Walrus' next pick too using his list

[-Jrabbit]

OK. Just let us know when the list is dead and we will switch to Bapay protocols. So if you really want to help Walrus, tell him to keep sending lists.

If you want to switch Bapay from 2020/Actual to 2021/Projected, that's your right as commish. But I would advise against it.
And juggling between the two is madness. Either way, Walrus (or whoever) might think they're getting screwed.
Frankly, it's just one pick, and if the manager doesn't like it, he can change it within one round.

Look, projections are just projections. No one knows if James Robinson or Josh Jacobs or Ronald Jones are getting 300 touches, or if they are now in a timeshare. Those are personal evaluations, and I'm not about to do that for anyone who can't be bothered to participate. Frankly, it screws the people who are here and posting faithfully.

As always, we can keep an eye on bye weeks, injuries, etc.

He has RB1/WR1/QB. Either a RB or a WR would make the most sense.

Current Bapay list says:
RB = Josh Jacobs LV
WR = Tyler Locket SEA

Based on scarcity, I would tend to agree -- RB now, WR in R5.

He is up again and Tyler Locket is still there. Should I post that pick or is there someone else for him at this point?

[Berzerker]

he gave me a list thats about used up now, I'll send him an email asking for another list or if he wants bapays the rest of the way

[Ming]

Sounds like a great plan...

[-Jrabbit]

Vlad has been on the clock for nearly 4 hours. With QB, TE, WR1, RB1 & RB2 filled, his positional need for R6 is WR.
Current BAPAY at WR = Tyler Lockett SEA.

Since the following pick is Berz, I think it makes sense to have him post the Bapay (if needed) and his own pick.
