Hi all. We have 2 managers potentially leaving, so we're presently throwing out feelers for replacements. You would be taking over their 2 rosters. I know it sounds boring taking over someone else's roster, but the challenge of trying to make the team your own and potentially building it from the ground up is actually quite fun, and it's perfect for those of you fantasy ballers who like to be active. I've had to do the same with my team and it's been a blast. It's a standard 12 team PPR dynasty league with QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, Flex, Def, K. 25 roster spots, and there's a 3 round rookie draft every year (it kicks off on July 15). You can trade draft picks, including future picks. We're definitely looking for active Managers, and definitely people who will remain committed to the league for a while (since it is a dynasty and all). Here are the 2 rosters below. If anyone's interested (which you should be if you're not already in a dynasty league), here's a direct link to the league to sign up for the temporary waiting list (July 15th is the deadline for the absent Managers to show up). https://thephins.com/threads/2017-armchair-dynasty-ff-league.91262/ TEAM1 QB Cam Newton QB Eli Manning QB Brock Osweiler RB CJ Anderson RB Mark Ingram RB Rashad Jennings RB Karlos Williams RB Jordan Howard RB Jonathan Williams RB Chris Johnson RB Travaris Cadet WR Odell Beckham Jr. WR Alshon Jeffery WR Eric Decker WR Kamar Aiken WR Leonte Caroo WR Vincent Jackson WR JJ Nelson WR Josh Gordon TE Delanie Walker TE Tyler Eifert TE Dwayne Allen PK Mike Nugent PK Steven Hauschka DF Denver DF Pittsburgh --picks 4th in this year's draft TEAM2 QB Philip Rivers QB Matt Ryan RB Devonta Freeman RB Latavius Murray RB Carlos Hyde RB Spencer Ware RB TJ Yeldon RB Charcandrick West RB Kenneth Dixon RB James White RB Jerick McKinnon WR Kelvin Benjamin WR Allen Robinson WR Jeremy Maclin WR DeVante Parker WR Phillip Dorsett WR Chris Conley WR Malcolm Mitchell WR Russell Shephard WR Ted Ginn TE Jack Doyle TE Zach Ertz TE Vance McDonald PK Dustin Hopkins DF Kansas City DF Carolina --no 1st or 2nd round picks this year, but you can trade away future picks, and you can trade players for picks.
I'm guessing FF would be fun, I've just never been able to get into it though. Keeping up with players from all 32 teams is basically a major job...not my cup of tea.
it is fun for a while, but if you have a couple teams you start rooting against your own players if you don't have them on both teams
That's what happened the first time I played it almost a decade ago. I needed my fantasy QB to have a big game but if he did, the Dolphins playoff chances were dead (not that we were going to the playoffs anyway, but still). It frustrated me enough to give it up right away- I'm not rooting for anything over Miami.
Well, I always look at it as that I want the Fins to win first and foremost. If they do, then I don't care if my fantasy player had an off day. But if the Fins lose, and my fantasy team wins, then at least I've got that. In general, I don't draft many players from the Pats, Bills and Jets to avoid putting myself in that position.
We need one more player for this league. It's a commitment... but definitely a fun commitment. Anyone who isn't in a dynasty league, you need to be joining up! This is the roster you'd be taking over. We're in the middle of our rookie draft at the moment. Go over to the "2017 Armchair Dynasty League" thread in the Fantasy Football subforum and sign up. QB Andy Dalton QB Marcus Mariota RB Le'Veon Bell RB Jonathan Stewart RB Chris Thompson RB Giovani Bernard RB Shane Vereen RB Alex Collins RB Alfred Morris WR Demaryius Thomas WR Julian Edelman WR Golden Tate WR Jordan Matthews WR Michael Crabtree WR DeSean Jackson WR Adam Thielen WR Will Fuller WR Taylor Gabriel WR Dontrelle Inman TE Rob Gronkowski TE Martellus Bennett TE Cameron Brate PK Justin Tucker DF Arizona DF New England
