KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted August 12, 2012 JD, JoseR said he was down to be in the league for the final spot. He's not used to navigating the forums to well yet so he probably hasn't read our latest responses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted August 12, 2012 Could I possibly see everyone that's actually in as of now...? Can you not see the team names or manager list? Most of us have our TGP name in the abbreviation spot. JD, JoseR said he was down to be in the league for the final spot. He's not used to navigating the forums to well yet so he probably hasn't read our latest responses. Okay, cool. I will shoot him a PM! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COWBOYS4ME 0 Posted August 13, 2012 you're not talking about this Sunday, right? as long as that's true, I don't have a problem with a Sunday night close to the start of the season I'm in 150% JD for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoseR21 4 Posted August 14, 2012 I'm in gentlemen. I did my team name, "logo" and I downloaded the iPhone app for ESPN Fantasy Football. The draft is on Sunday night which is perfect because I get out of work at 6:30pm so I'll be more than ready for the Draft. I'm excited, it's been about 4 years since I've done my last fantasy football.... LET'S DO THIS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted August 14, 2012 Haha. Look forward to having you. And remember, I am open to any rules and roster changes you guys might need or want. Check through everything, and if there is something you want done... Bring it up to the group! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoseR21 4 Posted August 14, 2012 Only thing I have to get used to is the "Flex" player. This is the first time I do Fantasy football with ESPN. I'm used to doing it on NFL.com. So it's just a matter of getting used to. Quick question, Why is a passing TD only 4 points? jw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted August 15, 2012 Just the default in ESPN. We've had issues with that before (it being 4 pts).. But if nobody else wants to change it, then it will stay the same. What say you members of the fantasy group? Point total for passing touchdown should be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoseR21 4 Posted August 15, 2012 I vote 6, just like rushing and receiving is 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted August 15, 2012 I vote 6, just like rushing and receiving is 6. the problem with that is it makes QBs too valuable, I know, QB is an incredibly valuable position in the NFL, but hear me out: last year the most tds a RB had was 20 (LeSean McCoy: 17 rush, 3 rec) the most receiving tds anyone had was also 17 (Gronk) 17 QBs had 17 or more tds, 14 had 20 or more, that means most fantasy teams have a backup QB with as many tds as the most of any other position, so the points have to be scaled down IMO, if you scale it to 4 instead of 6 for a passing td then 17 rushing/receiving tds is equivalent to 25.5 passing tds, a number that's still topped by 9 QBs, 20 rushing/receiving tds is equivalent to 30 passing tds, which was topped by 5, so you're still giving QBs an advantage in points from TDs, it's just not enormous like it is if you count them all the same I'd say stick with 4 points for passing tds 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos 2,847 Posted August 15, 2012 Stick with 4. Making it worth 6 makes QBs too valuable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great explanation BTW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoseR21 4 Posted August 15, 2012 Wow, that was an incredible explanation. I vote to keep it 4 then lol. I didn't know all that now, but I'm glad I do now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oochymp 2,393 Posted August 15, 2012 After reading your argument, I vote to stay with 4 too. Great explanation BTW. honestly, I was a little surprised at how heavily the numbers leaned toward QBs when I started looking into it, also to your question about divisions I'm pretty sure getting rid of those was one of the first changes we agreed to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted August 15, 2012 Also, are we getting rid of divisions? Please tell me we are... Ya, this has already been done. Don't you look at the league. Just one question..Is the draft time changeable? What or when are you proposing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
