Around SBN: Dog Football! Which Breeds Are Best Suited For The Gridiron?

Are you ready for some STR Fantasy Football?!

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/strfootball

Alright! Right about two weeks until the beginning of football season, looks like a good time to gauge interest in a STR Fantasy Football league!

Star-divide

I'm more than willing to commish one league on yahoo, but I can't do more leagues (I have to save a spot for a basketball league in October). If there is enough interest, I could either commish another league on ESPN, or someone else can spearhead another league on yahoo.

Details are flexible. I'm assuming most people will want a live draft, but if the people want an auction? The people shall have an auction. By the Kings' fans, for the Kings' fans!

Once I get at least 10 people to commit, I'll post the league ID and password to join.

 

***Edit: If we get 10 people to vote for a particular day, that's when I will open up the league.

******Edit part deux: The league is created! It is on yahoo. The league ID is 675675, the url is right here

I'd be in

although I couldn’t make Monday

I officially floccinaucinihilipilificate Drew Gooden, Gerald Wallace, DeJuan Blair, Scott Brooks, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the internet!

I'll be in it.

I almost started up a STR FF league a couple weeks ago but then my laziness kicked in.

I voted Monday because thats Labor Day….no school.

Are you going to be making a post about an STR NBA fantasy league?

Because I am definitely interested in that, though I think it’s more fun to draft earlier so that there’s an element of mystery about the rooks.

I know I am going to post a fanpost about one

I want to set up a head to head league where there are only 8 stats (removing turnovers because negative stats suck) but I am counting scoring as 2 (thus it comes back to 9, essentially making scoring the tie breaker). I always do real well with the basic head to head set-up because it’s so easy to abuse the system and avoid scoring but this way I can’t do that. Plus, negative stats suck and considering the goal in a game is to score more points than your opponent this could be fun.

Because talent? You want to add a guy like boozer because hes talented? I’m sorry i just don’t see that as a valid reason. -- fffindeed

My H2H is points based, not category. With BLK/STL +3, a bonus +8 for DD or +15 for TD.
I found out too late that big men dominate. Rebounding dominates.

Anyway I’m going to own this year.

And if you make a league on yahoo,

Can you make it 2 WRs, 2 RBs, and 1 flex?
Because I really hate yahoo’s default of 3 WRs and 2 RBs.

Might be interested

I might interested depending on the day and what the scoring configurations are. I’d also like to second the recommendation for yahoo I like their interface a lot better then ESPN and NFL.com

I would like to join!

Monday works for me… Sooner the better!

What more do I have to do?

Just wait for the link, then you can just click and join up!

I’m just waiting to see if we can fill a league

I love fantasy, but unforturnately I have no idea about NFL

Does StR has an “official” NBA fantasy league? It should have. More than one, maybe functioning as a ladder.

by ZenBaller on Aug 30, 2010 3:03 PM PDT reply actions  

Hell yes we do! We will be continuing our illustrious 1 year tradition this October!

If there's room, I'd be more than happy to join.

Will there be a fanpost about it?

(Sorry for the off topic comments)

by ZenBaller on Aug 31, 2010 8:37 AM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah. It'll be sort of the same set up as this one.

I'd be down

prefer to not do an auction though given it takes about forever

Thread jacking here, but who's interested in a Yahoo league that's NOT live draft?

Sorry, I don’t have the time to sit through a live draft but I wouldn’t mind setting up a Yahoo league for interested persons.

by clicc916 on Aug 31, 2010 9:02 AM PDT reply actions  

i would be in

does anybody here like auction draft better?

For football I'm not so sure. It looks kind of interesting for basketball though, because individual players can have a pretty large impact.

I’ve been doing mock auction drafts on yahoo whenever I’ve gotten the chance, and it has seemed interesting

Scoring system?

What is the scoring system going to be? Any chance of either PPR (points per reception) or IDP (individual defensive players)? Seems like every league I’m in this year is standard scoring and something different would be nice for a change.

by jimbodan on Aug 31, 2010 5:54 PM PDT reply actions  

Alright! The league is created! Details are in the main post

So everyone is ok with a standard draft, or do y'all want to try out the auction?

ARG!!! Why didn't I check yesterday?

Can’t sign in until I leave work. Hopefully there will be a spot left tonight.
