It definitely has a higher "skill cap" and rewards decision-making. That said, I only have time for a few leagues, and those are long-running leagues with my friends - all snake.

I feel your pain. I been trying to convert my big money league to auction unsuccessfully for the past few years. Maybe if i win this year i can demand it as champion. Or i can just beat up the commissioner. Snake = checkers, Auction = chess Link to post Share on other sites

Virtually impossible to convince the average fantasy player to do an auction draft. That's the thing, realistically, with local leagues, they're typically groups of friends and fam, hard to take it soooo serious to ween them on auction Link to post Share on other sites

eg4190 884 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) I drafted Freeman and Collins as my top two RBs. After going 0-2, my WRs were working out, so I traded TY for Dalvin Cook, then benched Crowell. It’s only Week 3 and I’m down to starting Collins and Kerryon Washington.

Flint55 30 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Last week going against my most bitter rival, he had AJ Green and Dalton going on Thursday night. Not good. I benched G. Tate for J. Landry (thought the better match-up) also not good. As it was I had a good chance to still pull out a victory (having Tyreek and Gurley) but I also started Zuerlein, who pulled that groin during warm-ups and apparently it wasn't announced in time for me to pick up another kicker. Lost by about 7 points in Yahoo PPR. Rather frustrating even more so given who I was up against. Link to post Share on other sites

Washington2014 32 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 My RBs are fournette, cook, McCoy, and mack. Somehow I’m 2-0 but doubt I’ll be moving to 3-0 this week Link to post Share on other sites

CooL 3,269 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 General rant: League mates that don't respond to trade offers in a timely fashion. It's Saturday afternoon, I sent an offer on Wednesday, and still nothing. We are in a long standing league, but while we all know each other, we all don't hang out socially so it's not as if I can send him a text asking what he thinks since I don't even have his phone number. So here I wait, constantly hitting refresh to see if he will accept or reject. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't leave trade offers on the table too long due to the fact that players can get injured in practice and anywhere else. Imagine if the player you wanted to trade for got hurt then your opponent hits accept. I know it's happened to people before and it sounds like a nightmare. Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll take that with a grain of salt, who knows, maybe they’re trash offers you’re hoping they hit accept by accident, I just let those offers sit to drive them nuts Link to post Share on other sites
ajs723 3,442 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Before the start of the season, I dealt Clement and Ekeler away (dynasty league). I got future draft picks, Duke Johnson (sigh) and Mack Hollins (IR). I always seem to make the worst trades right before the start of the season. Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to vent against my own stupidity. You should have drafted McKinnon over Diggs. That was the correct decision. No one can control or predict who will get injured. Let that one go. But it would sure be nice to have Diggs right now, yeah? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ajs723 3,442 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I have a few tough decisions this week. In those spots, I'm starting Will Fuller, Cooper Kupp, and Andrew Luck. So, bench those guys. Link to post Share on other sites

Sternes 5,010 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Paul Richardson is only worth anything when he is hurt. I got worried last year when he messed up his finger. Cut him after week 1 this year. Was banged up all week, dude gets on the board early. Link to post Share on other sites
