    just set a date, if you ask people to set it it's never gonna get set. people can then complain about it if they want and you can change it

    Alright, I would ask that we don't draft on a Sunday, as I work every Sunday night. Any other date or time is completely fine by me.

    And yeah, boot the defensive player.

    Because it's deadly silence and I don't even think everyone who is in the league has posted to confirm. The fact that hardly anyone commented on the suggested draft date hardly bodes well

    I don't know about mobile but on the website there is a "select keepers" link on your team page, below where you would set your autopick rankings.

    took away defensive player, added 1 bench spot and an ir spot.
    we have odd number of teams and need to either add one or delete someone who isn't gonna play.
    @Torn, you still in? @Mikey_Jones, you still in? @Matthew, you still in?

    Nice. Is there any downside to keeping players? What draft pick do they replace?

    I think it’s just the first 2 rounds are keepers, but not 100% sure

    yes I believe it will be your first and second round picks if you elect keepers. i looked it up on ESPN a while back and I think that's what it said

    I think we have 10 with Mikey out because we have 12 right now and Chris Scott has two teams

    We need to move whoever Chris wants to keep over to his new team before the draft

    I'm not sure if I should keep anyone then. Was going to keep Gronk and Freeman but 1st and 2nd round picks is a high price. Difficult to know with Gronk without knowing where I'm drafting and who is off the board before we start.

    You should be able to see who is being kept, I saw it yesterday on my pc. Not sure if you can on the app.
    Not very helpful am I? Lol

    @Torn what a shite team but I’ll keep AJ Green.

    Wait if I keep Green will that mean my 1st round spot is gone? If so I’ll keep no one thanks.

    Yes, you would lose your 1st rounder

    bit if a time crunch but is it possible to mess with the keeper format? i feel like part of the fun of being in a keeper league is ya know, getting to keep players. but losing a first or second round pick when in order to keep a player who isnt a first or second round talent is silly and likely actively punishes lower standing teams from the year before.

    i think a good way to do it would be to have your keepers be slected two rounds earlier than the round they were drafted the previous year. so say alvin kamara was drafted in the eighth round in 2017, the person who keeps him would have his sixth round pick be kamara in 2018. my cash league does it this way and it ends up pushing people to keep 'lower' round players cause its good value instead of just automatically going well yes, im keeping all first round talent. like, you have the third pick of the draft, are you gonna keep beckham and forfeit your first round(cause he was drafted first round in 2017) and possibly miss out on a ton of good running backs that will be gone by your second round pick comes around or will you put odell back in the draft pool to get a true top three pick?

    The current format is a bit pointless definitely. I don't see us agreeing something better as I sit here 11 hours before we draft though.

    yeah i dont think some people thought it through. keeping gurley for me makes sense to lose a first rounder over but keeping two seems dumb.

    im at work and likely to get busy once the draft starts so i doubt I'll do much drafting myself.

    Depends. I kept Zeke and Julio. Not likely to find a 2nd round pick in either of their league.

    that makes sense. i think a lot of people didnt have two people worth keeping that could be considered first and second picks. like i had wentz and thielen, but giving up my second for either of them wasnt the smartest move.

    Exactly. Last year my first two picks were Freeman and Gronk and they were who I was tempted to keep but there's no value there.

    Obviously if you've got Zeke and Julio it's a no brainier but that's a way removed from keeping Kirk Cousins.

    I do need a backup running back, as my auto draft went hard on WR. Trade offers welcome.

    That was another highly questionable keeper. His average draft position is 46, you used a 2nd on him then took Rodgers in the 4th. Hm.

    Also one thing I noticed which seems dumb on ESPN's part. The first two rounds (the keeper rounds) did not follow the snake format. For players like myself with 2 keepers this doesn't matter but for those who did not elect keepers this created an unfairness. For instance:

    Beefy received the 4th pick in the first round, the 4th pick in the second round (#14) and the 4th pick in round 3 (#24).

    Matthew received the 6th pick in the first round, the 6th pick in the second round (#16) and the 6th pick in round 3 (#26).

    Only starting in round 4 did the order snake backwards.

    This is apparently intentional, but I still don't quite understand their logic:

    Yeah that's stupid. I assume there's some logic and data behind it. We used to have similar arguments about when the snake should kick in in the RFF draft when we were using keepers and I always felt it should snake from the beginning.

    I definitely did well out of both that and effectively getting Lev Bell at #4.

    It was questionable for you. I didn’t realize Rodgers would be available. When he was I picked him. Stop acting like you’re the best fantasy player and just have fun.

    You used a 2nd round draft pick on a QB whose average draft position is #46 (i.e. mid 4th round). I am interested in your reasoning (maybe you think Cam will be MVP again this year, maybe you just didn't realize how late he was being drafted on average).

    I think discussing fantasy football strategy is part of the fun of fantasy football and did not mean to offend you with my critique of your draft pick, nor imply by critiquing a draft pick that I am the best fantasy player. This is my first time doing keepers so I think it's interesting to discuss some of the decisions made but if that's not fun for you please don't feel the need to explain your keeper strategy.

    And? I had a qb who could be a top 10 offensive player if he stays healthy. Now I have 2 qbs who could be top 10 offensive players. Could I have gotten someone of more value, yes I probably could have. Does it bother, not at all. Worse comes to worse, I trade Cam for a WR or RB.

    Come on, keeping Cam was terrible value. There's no way to spin it as a positive especially after doubling down on QB in the 4th. It's hardly the end of the world but I'm not sure why you're being so sensitive about it.

    I’m not being sensitive at all. I kept 2 guys I wanted to keep. Really that simple. And if I would’ve had Brady and Rodgers was on the board in the 4th I still would’ve grabbed Rodgers.

    Anyway, my team is nasty. AB and Hopkins as my keepers will be a force in a PPR league, and I ended up with the 1st pick in the 3rd round which landed me Devonta Freeman. Kenyan Drake hopefully will have a breakout season as my RB2. Picked up Brees in the 9th. Yea, I'm loaded. Granted many of the teams are loaded because it's a 10 team league, but still.

    Kelce for Adams was pretty legit.
    Kelce/Cam for Adams was pretty stupid

    Completely forgot to check my team this week. Probably would’ve won if I had.

    Incorrect. I knew Fournette was out, so Connors would have moved to my rb, giving me his Pt’s at this and opening my flex for Graham. And obviously I would have taken Gordon out.
    My dad had passed away so I was kinda busy, lost track of time on everything Sunday.

    yes, you would have moved connor from flex to fournettes spot, so no gain of points, since he was already in your lineup. then you would have slotted graham into flex, which wouldve gotten you 15 points. then if you replaced gordon for your highest scoring wide receiver on your bench, which was ridley, you wouldve gotten another 16. so those moves wouldve netted you 31. you lost by 35. you would have needed cam in your lineup.

    but i was just busting your balls. theres some things you can be certain about: death, taxes, hitty owning ryan braun, 15 relief pitchers and starting king cheesehead.
