You might be able to get Larry Johnson as your RB.

Well, don't tell anybody, because I don't want to give all of my secrets away... but I kind of have my eye on Edgerrin James at RB.

Speaking of Give Kids The World...

We've had 11 Fantasy Football donations so far from 29 members... 38%

I realize some of you are waiting on a payday...but I hope to have 90%-100% before we are done.

Should I have used my FFB team name for my donation?

I figured that you know who I am, but I did see some others using the team name. That gave me a V-8 moment once I saw that after my donation - that would have been a better way to do it. (And I will add another donation later since it wasn't as much as I wanted to donate.)

I haven't even started to think about football yet. Looks like I have some work to do!

Join the Crowd...I haven't even thought about Rankings yet...been too busy setting up the league.

I feel I have to start the draft by the current date and time to be sure we finish before the Kick-off.

I also want people to be familiar with the site since allot of people have only used other sites for Fantasy Football. (But those sites cannot use the NFL Player/Division we need to host 30 teams either.)

Donation made! Now I can get back to positioning myself for a monopoly on Miami Dolphins QB's.

Isn't that where Brett Favre is coming back to? (did I mention I am a Bills fan? UGH)

Since there were 18 rounds and 10 teams per division, I figured I needed 180 picks. Should we have more than 180?
Question:
How does the auto-draft work? If something happens and I go on auto-draft, will my next player be taken or the next player per that position? In other words, will a RB be drafted into my kicker position?

 

[AirGoofy]

Well, I just went to add/change something and I lost 20 players off my draft board. Hopefully, I can draft well for the first 16 spots and then do some guessing. I'm afraid to mess with it again.

180 total players per division seems right.

Autodraft as best as I understand it will pick from your "My Draft List" (MDL)...OR if an owner does not have a MDL then it will pick from the Average Draft Position (ADP) rankings from MyFantasyLeague. Autopick gives no preference to position...the system just takes the next person on the list (MDL or ADP).

HOWEVER...If you rely on the system to make draft picks for you, using either the "MDL" or "ADP" player lists, you can use "My Draft Preferences" to indicate what positions that you'd like to see drafted in each round of your draft. (The risk here is that this may cause you "overreach" or "underreach" for a given position. Cause not everyone will draft a RB in Round 1 or a Kicker in round 10. Some people may draft 2 kickers...some may only draft 1. I'm not telling you to not use it...just be aware.)

Both "My Draft List" and "My Draft Preferences" can be accessed from the "Owners" menu at the top of the screen.

Also...

If anyone wants to be placed on Autopick...please let me know by replying to the post "I want to be set to Autopick"

To be safe, I'd just put tack 20 kickers on to the end just to make sure you don't end up with an RB in a K spot.

The players are there.

If you are refering to "My Draft List"

Moving players from "Available Players" to "Current My Draft List" the player will placed at the bottom of the list.

Same holds true for moving players back the other direction.

However once you save the Draft list...players left in the "Available Players" list will be resorted into the ADP ranking as they originally were.

You can also use an external method such as Excel to create your list and then paste as text with the "My Draft List" import function.

The format is
Last, First TEAM

examples
Manning, Eli NYG
Rice, Ray BAL
Smith, Steve CAR
