Denver is in, and i've got players on the block!

i'm also looking to make some moves - several off-season moves in the NFL boded well for my team (Howard leaving the Bears, Ingram signing with the Ravens, and ODB leaving NYG, not to mention Quinn looking like the 'Skins slot guy and Martin re-signing with the Raiders because Crowell got hurt), so i feel as though i have a surplus.

i'm mostly looking for picks, although multi-player deals aren't out of the question. i'm game for upgrades.

among those available:
Tom Brady
AJ Green
Doug Martin
Kenneth Dixon
Trey Quinn
Sterling Shepherd
Greg Olsen
Michael Gallup

CJ Mosley
Avery Williamson
Jaylon Smith

Nerf re:18, yes this is the year we get rid of Team Def and have a 1 round supplemental draft for IDP. I don't believe we came to a final decision, but the consensus as I recall was to use a popular ranking site like Fantasypros.com to use as a preseason ranking.

Fantasy Pros has their preseason rankings up now, and from prior use of their site I don't recall that they make many changes if any at all for Team D rankings. So what they have up now is probably going to be the same in a few weeks time. I think we should pick a date for the draft and then whatever the rankings are on that date is the order we will use for the 1 round supplemental draft.

Skinner and nerf
Thanks for the reminder — totally forgot about that...

I’ll need to change the roster requirements...
No DST.
One more flex IDP...

Right?

Great question Nerf
I think rookies/everyone should should be available...
Will send email out so folks remember this and can comment...

I think we can use one round of draftime for free to get the IDP pick out of the way quickly???
Especially since the order will be different than the regular draft.

Yes IDP needs to be after keepers announced. No position requirement for keepers.

can one of you post the current ranking list and give your source? Question.

Commissioner Judith:

2018 DST results are irrelevant: What counts are 2019 projections.

The rule is here:

"Beginning in 2019, the roster position of Team Defense (aka D/ST) will
be abolished. An additional IDP position will be added, and the IDP
configuration will become 1 DL - 2 LB - 2 DB - 1 Flex. After keepers have
been selected and before the draft in the year the proposal comes into
effect, a SPECIAL ONE-ROUND ONE-TIME-ONLY IDP Draft will be held.
Any IDP who has not been kept by a team may be chosen in that draft.
To determine the order of drafting in that round, the projected rankings
of the Team Defenses owned in the league at the end of the previous
regular season will be determined according to the "Fantasy Pros"
website, or in some similar manner determined by the Commissioner. If a
team owns 2 or more team defenses at the end of the regular season, its
best ranked team defense will be used. The special draft order will start
with the team with the best ranked team defense and proceed down the
rankings, with the last pick going to the team with the worst ranked
team defense. Because one player will be picked by its team before the
supplemental draft starts, the draft will be one round shorter than usual;
otherwise it will be conducted in the usual manner."

It was Slizz's idea to use Fantasy Pros projections. I adapted it becuz Fantasy Pros projections do not use our scoring settings. There are propietrary sites that can adapt their projections -- e.g, "Football Guys", which I highly recommend.

Notice, Madam Commissioner, that the rule was drafted to leave the decision in your hands -- your decision, no way to overturn it or overrule it.

No no no! It’s judy

We get one round of draftime free. I can set the IDP order there. It is a very efficient system — assuming people do not pick someone else’s keeper. But I might be able to maneuver that.

The regular draft is on MFL and it will have a separate order. Once the draftime is done and the keepers are added to your roster, the regular MFL draft can begin!

Actually in Draftime you could just remove the IDP keepers from the player pool, ensuring no draft by mistake.

It sounds like more work for you than just listing the keepers at the top of the thread on the message board and draftime there. But whatever is easiedt for you is fine.

Thumqer picks 1.01 in the 1 rd IDP draft. Congrats dude!

When selecting or posting your keepers just put the DST you are cutting and we can create a separate thread for the IDP draft.

One thing we never discussed in the elimination of the DST vote is whether Rookies are allowed to be taken in the 1 rd special IDP draft...or are they subject to the supplemental only...

I can see both sides. Those with top 5 picks are losing a pretty significant keeper. The only significant IDP's leftover would the rookies, and they are often not immediate impacts. I lean towards leaving them in.

I was a little disappointed in the Titans preseason rankings unfortunately as they performed fairly well the second half last year as 4th best in our scoring system. ESPN and MFL both have them 12 this year, so guess FantasyPros is the lowest ranked among them at 16.

Lets eliminate kicker next year and give the team with the best kicker ranking the 1.01 in a one round offensive player only special draft, including rookies. Zeurlein and gostkowski will be first rd picks this year for sure. Maybe a bunch more kickers too!

Just summarizing the discussion in the email spam and adding a few of my own questions.

1. It's okay to trade your DST's before the draft, if someone wants to move up

Q: What happens if you trade your only/all DST's and are left with none? End of draft? No draft at all?

2. Straight fantasy-pros rankings vs. adjusting their projections for our scoring.

Q: Which one is more fair? I'd say the latter.

3. Confirm we get 9 keepers, plus the IDP round. The regular supp. draft is then only 10 rounds.

I have 2 extra DST's - the Packers, ranked 20 above, and the Cardinals, ranked 25 - in case anyone is stuck at the back and wants to move up a few slots.

Thanks for summarizing Nerf...I agree with Torals earlier point (via email): THE LIST:

I guess Fantasy Pros should be used. It's not set for our scoring system. My Team D ranks 8 placess higher projecting under our scoring system. But that's just tough bananas for here.

The problem with a vote on some other list is that everyone has an interest now.

IDP rookies should not be included... I view the purpose of this as to convert an asset owned from year end 2018 and establish a similarly valued asset picked from a pool of available talent (different position) which was also utilized in 2018.

If we have to have a vote on whether rookies are allowed for this 1 round supplemental round, then we probably need to delay the elimination of the D/ST for another year. When I originally proposed this solution for replacement value of the Defense unit vs just eliminating the position, it was intended to include anyone who was available after keepers had been selected. That includes any rookies.

The mechanics were simple, keep your 9 players, then select the 1 D/ST on your roster that you want to replace (obviously the higher ranked one), and then when it's your turn to pick select the IDP you want for replacement. It was never going to be a true replacement value since some Def are much more valuable than others, but at least there was some semblance of equal value replaced. The pool is likely to already be watered down as more IDPs may be kept than other years I imagine, so the managers giving up the best defenses would be able to select the best IDP replacement value possible. This is a 1 year issue and then we don't have to worry about it again.
57Toral

      Fri, Jul 26, 2019, 13:51

We need something, either a vote or a binding interpretation by from you.

I took some time mulling over the actual wording of the rule. It seems susceptible of either interpretation.

"Any IDP who has not been kept by a team may be chosen in that draft."

INTERPRETATION A:

Let consider Joe Rookie, IDP. Is he an IDP? Yes. Was he kept by a team? No. Therefore he can be chosen.

INTERPRETATION B

A little more subtle. What is the import of the term "who has not been kept by a team". Does it not suggest that the player must have been capable of being kept by a team, i.e., not be a rookie? Why else would the rule say "who has not been kept by a team". Would anything think that an IDP who HAD been kept by a team could be drafted anyway?
-----------------------------------------------

There is no obvious solution to be found in an individual owner's statements about what they thought they were voting for, which are on an individual basis irrelevant, or conjecture about the purpose of the rule, which could go either way.

Judy, this is why you make the big bucks.

Let’s just include rookies and not delay this any further. I don’t see a valid reason not to include them. People with top defenses are losing that advantage. They should be compensated accordingly and have the option to pick from any IDPs available after keepers are declared...including rookies. Not including rookies is a bit of a slap in the face to the intended purpose of this idea to begin with..
59ttucowboy

      Fri, Jul 26, 2019, 14:19
52: Disagree 100%. Why are we using projections for 2019 as the rankings for D/ST? The reason is because we’re establishing a fair value for that asset coming into this year. Thus, all IDPs not being kept should be available along with rookies. How can we value something for 2019 and not include the entire 2019 player pool for compensation. Makes zero sense.

There are no good options. Include, exclude, or delay a year... with each approach some managers are going to feel as if the rules have been changed from under them and that they might have made different choices had they known.

the rules didn't change if we don't change them.

the original rules as written don't specifically exclude rookies, so i see no reason why we'd do so.

the only even remotely related line states Any IDP who has not been kept by a team may be chosen in that draft, and by that qualification, rookies are allowed because they were not kept.

Players clearly fall into 4 buckets during the preseason:
1. Players removed from the player pool (due to retirement, etc.)
2. Players who were kept
3. Players who were not kept
4. Rookies

IDP draft is for group 3.

Need someone to run the lottery. Have no idea how to do it.


4. Draft Order
A. Round 1
Picks 1-4 are determined by a draft lottery of the prior year’s 16 non-playoff teams. Picks 5-16 are in reverse order of regular season record of the remaining non-playoff teams; Picks 17-24 are the playoff teams in reverse order of playoff finish.
B. Subsequent Rounds
Picks 1-16 are in reverse order of regular season record of non-playoff teams. Picks 17-24 are the playoff teams in reverse order of playoff finish. The draft will NOT snake.

Guess need some clarification.

1. We get 9 Keepers again this year. Is the defense considered one of those keepers?

2. I had the Vikings defense, am I understanding that with the lotto I'm #2 pick in the IDP draft?

No, the IDP draft is separate and there’s no need to keep your defense in order to participate.

To summarize:

Correct me if I am wrong.

DST is gone
Keepers — 9 of them
First round of draft IDP in order from #42 above
Second round regular order with lottery from #67 above
Rounds 3-11 regular order as shown in #65 above right side up
All drafts on MFL.

Lineups will have no DST, but a flex IDP. (I haven’t done it yet)

I don't see why you are taking the rankings from post #42? What is so special about that time? The rankings have in fact changed since then. I suggest you use the rankings from 24 hours before you are setting the IDP draft order on MFL.

Didn’t consider that DST ranking would change...

Proposal from email:

Should we pick a date and someone post the ranking as of that date?

Sunday August 18?

Need a keeper date soon after that. Thursday August 22/Friday August 23?

2018 dates:

Draft began August 26
Draft finished sept 3.

2019 suggestion
Keepers due August 22/23
Draft begin August 25
Draft end by. Labor Day sept 2...

Remember that nothing I toss out here or on email is final, just starting points for discussion. At some point tho a decision will be made, hopefully after input.

(from post 30)
Beginning in 2019, the roster position of Team Defense (aka D/ST) will
be abolished. An additional IDP position will be added, and the IDP
configuration will become 1 DL - 2 LB - 2 DB - 1 Flex.


2018 rule was 1 DL - 1 LB - 1 DB - 2 Flex. So, we are not adding a Flex. We are adding 1 LB and 1 DB, and removing 1 Flex.

Could we move the start of the draft up a day to start earlier? I will be flying all day starting August 31 (8+ hour and then 10+ hour trips) with no internet and thus get more picks done before being out of touch.

There was a point in email that if someone wanted to trade a DST they need to know where they stand in the rankings, so perhaps lock it in at least 3 days ahead of keepers due. So like, August 19th?

There was also the question of taking the exact rankings, or using the projected stats and running the points based on our scoring system. I didn't hear a definitive answer on that either way.

1
Denver Broncos gave up Kupp, Cooper LAR WR; 2019 third rounder
Minnesota Vikings gave up Ingram, Mark NOS RB; 2019 last rounder
2
Baltimore Ravens gave up Shepard, Sterling NYG WR; Evans, Justin TBB S; 2019 7th
Denver Broncos gave up St. Brown, Equanimeous GBP WR; Warner, Fred SFO LB; 2019 4th
3
New Orleans Saints gave up Osweiler, Brock MIA QB; 2019 8th rounder
Seattle Seahawks gave up 2019 5th round
4
Denver Broncos gave up Seferian-Jenkins, Austin JAC TE; 2019 5th ... if Olsen doesn't play at least 6 games the rest of the season (the Panthers have 12 games left), the pick moves to a 7th) (Olson played 8 games)
Arizona Cardinals gave up Olsen, Greg CAR TE; 2019 8th

I am confused about 1st and 2nd round order of picking! I thought lottery for first round and after that by finish position during season.

I believe that Judy is treating the special IDP draft like round 1 of the supplementary draft, which may lead to considerable confusion. The draft picks traded above refer to the supplementary draft as constituted under the rules, with the lottery round being round 1, not round 2.

Okay that helps. thanks.
So in round 1 can only draft IDP players. It seems to me it would have been easier to just add one round to draft since no one has more that one Def but I do see point that some teams have managed to dump team def already although not sure how unless have one less team member.

You should have received a detailed email Sunday.

KEEPERS DUE:
Thursday August 22 midnight EDT
Note calendar in MFL says August 24 — I need that leeway to remind those of you who might not follow directions...🤪

Directions:
List keepers in the thread so we can see them all in on place.
Select your keepers on MFL — you can do this NOW if you know.
1). For owners.
2). Select keepers.
3). Pick nine.
4). Scroll to bottom to hit “select keepers”.

DRAFT:

FIRST ROUND OF THE DRAFT IS IDP ONLY
SECOND ROUND OF THE DRAFT IS THE LOTTERY ORDER.
ROUNDS 3 to 11 is the REGULAR DRAFT ORDER.
(3 hours per pick)

DRAFT STARTS:
Untimed once I perform the “load keepers” button.
Hopefully, sometime Friday.
I will send an email, although I think MFL also let’s you know when the draft opens.
Timed:
Sunday, August 25 8:00 am EDT

Please check the thread to see the draft slot swaps leftover from last year. MFL should have processed them already.
It is your job to verify all this, not mine!

So Thump lost Luck to retirement and Doug lost Miller to a likely season ending injury. I think, going forward, it’d be a good idea to have keepers due the Sunday/Monday after preseason week 3 (equivalent of tomorrow for this year). I also wouldn’t have a problem with either making a switch now since we haven’t started drafting yet. Just my two cents.

i'm in agreement here. i absolutely have never understood the rush in most leagues to begin the draft before the third week begins.

that being said, i'm more inclined to allow for sudden retirements, and less inclined to allow for injuries, because that's why we have the IL. it hurts you with keepers, but you can make up for it during the season (for example, i kept Hunter Henry last year despite a knee injury suffered in MAY that we knew would keep him out all season), and still lead the league in scoring.

I think once draft started--no changes should be made except if player retires and the player to keep has not been drafted when commissioner stops the draft briefly to allow it to occur. Injuries, I disagree with allowing replacements--I agree that is what IR is for.

Yokel - we are all friends / acquaintances in the league...personally, I don’t want people feeling sour before the season even starts.

Yes, you are right that we have the IR slot for an injury like millers...however, an acl tear can change a players value overnight. Besides, nobody was drafted so no other teams were hurt and if you wanted Cook so bad you could’ve traded on the cheap. If we had already drafted players I would agree but no harm in what was done.

I think this concept of an emergency mulligan... available until the switch gets flipped turning on the draft is just good sportsmanship. I think retirement or a clearly defined long term injury (IR?) easy enough to define. And just letting you pick an alternative from your own squad is fair.

The Draft start time and general calendar are posted in plenty of time for objections.
I have followed the timeline from the previous year which MFL updates automatically.

If you want it later let us know and will vote on it.

This information was posted on August 7 (#80):

2019 suggestion
Keepers due August 22/23
Draft begin August 25
Draft end by. Labor Day sept 2...

Remember that nothing I toss out here or on email is final, just starting points for discussion. At some point tho a decision will be made, hopefully after input.


It got 2 comments so don’t give me grief (I would actually like to use a stronger word, but as this is a public forum, I will refrain) now that you don’t agree with the dates.

FYI John Ross is not allowed to be placed in IR per our league rules as Free agent or waiver pickups are not eligible. Only players that are already on a team’s roster when they are placed on IR are eligible.

This is the rules specifics that I found from when the proposal was passed:
An IR slot will be added. Only players on NFL's IR are eligible.
A player on IR may not be picked up during the season (on waivers, as a free agent, etc.) and placed in the IR slot.
An owner must remove a player activated from the NFL's IR by the second game after the player's real-life activation.

Sort of surprised this league isn't at least half point PPR... with many other sites making full PPR the default in recent years.

PPR does seem to be the more popular choice these days. It's been years since I played in one, having only played G24 or RIFC leagues this decade.

I suppose with our additions of IDP, which is still relatively rare in fantasy football, it makes up for that lack of scoring.

Thanks for noticing this Tree. I took a look and Indianapolis has had the same starting lineup the last 5 weeks.

The commissioner should contact the manager.

From our rules:

Activity will be monitored. Every team and circumstance is different. Not every team will want to change their lineup every week. Not every manager will be able to respond to every trade the same day it is proposed. Not every manager will be able to answer emails immediately. Not every manager will make as many transactions (add/drops or trades) as others. Albeit, if we notice some inactivity (leaving injured players in lineup or leaving healthy players on the bench while your lineup has bye week players in it) or it is brought to our attention, we will inquire. Things happen in real life that is more important than this silly game, but for the integrity of the league we must do this. Every week is VERY important! Please understand that we are trying to work with you to resolve the inactivity. You are expected to respond to all trades/emails in a timely manner whenever possible. Activity on our threads in the Rotoguru boards is required at times of rules discussion, drafts and on certain other occasions. Active discussions at other times is not required but appreciated by the league. An inquiry or a warning letter is not required before removal.

Seems like a quiet year for this league thus far. Not alot of chatter.

As for me, I jinxed Stafford by getting his backup as a just-in-case. I picked Driskel up on Wednesday, and the next day Stafford had a Q by his name, then didn't play. As they say, there's always next year.

Is there to be any penalty for leaving your roster unchanged for multiple weeks?

Here's what I suggest:

1. Determine the number of weeks the team's lineup was unchanged.

2. Subtract one (one mulligan/freebie).

3. Subtract from this number any games the team won during these weeks.

4. Then, FOR DRAFT POSITION PURPOSES ONLY, INCLUDING THE LOTTERY, add this number to the team's win total (and subtract from the loss total).

E.g., the Colts now are 5-17. Assume the number calculated above is 3. If the season ended today, their draft position would be determined as if they went 8-14. If there were any other 8-14 teams, the penalized team would draft behind them.

What authority does the commissioner have to do this? The rules state:

"Should unforeseen scenarios arise, the commissioners will use their best judgment to settle any matters in the “best interest of the league”.

The Carolina Panthers still have Derrius Guice on League IR, altho yesterday was his second game off it and he should have been removed before it.

I realize that nobody cares about this stuff but me, but I thought I would mention it. (Right on the Rosters oage it says "Warning! Possible IR Rule Violation Above" -- altho the game doesn't know our rules and there was no violation until the 2nd week Guice as off IR.)

GO & Doug - it is a league setting based on my interpretation of the rules...

Are Partial Lineups Allowed? NO

If that was switched to yes, I could submit a lineup without a TE and would have been able to de-activate Ebron without an issue.

I know that safeguard was put in place so that teams would always field a complete roster...we change that rule to "YES", it opens up the chance of "rebuilding" teams cutting useless IDP's in hopes of stashing better offensive keepers, which is not fair to the rest of the league.

The conclusion one could draw from #201 and #205 is that it's extremely hard to keep a dynasty going in this league. There's too many teams and the rosters are too thin. The cycle I'm noticing is someone gets a lottery pick, and that ONE pick, by itself, moves them into the playoffs, but that pick's bonus may only last for a few seasons, and then the next lowly team gets the new hot rookie and it moves up. I know this cycle because it's happened to me twice in the last 9 years. There's literally not enough players to go around, so the (top 10) rookies are the only things that are pumping new life into teams, but one player can't sustain the success by himself.

I'm not sure if this needs to be fixed, I'm just pointing out the pattern I'm seeing. And honestly, the only ways to fix this is to diminish the number of teams, or the number of active roster spots (like, go QB,WR,RB,TE,K,DL,LB,DB, one of each). That would basically involve scrapping the league and starting over.

If any manager knows that he is not returning for 2020, please let us know now.

Also if you have any rule changes you would like to see, please post them whenever you think of them!

I did hear that managers are finding it very difficult to find enough players (who actually play) to fill lineups.

By dropping dst we now equalized offense and defense starters with 6 of each plus the PK.

Perhaps we need to reduce roster size?

There are now 7 bench players. Should we make it 6?

I know that injuries killed a lot of teams this year, especially at the QB position. (Good grief — look at the actual Seahawks— no RB left so turbin and beastmode are back...)

High point is last day only, so folks stay engaged.

Seattle has 140.94 so that’s accurate.

Ravens get another $5 for high total points end of regular season — 1638.73. I need to add that.

Also — any chance we can discuss changing the playoff tiebreakers?

Right now it’s points. Given that we have 2 conferences, I think it should more closely mirror the NFL:

Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
Strength of victory.
Strength of schedule.
Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best net points in common games.
Best net points in all games.
Best net touchdowns in all games.
Coin toss


To simply:

H2H definitely puts a greater emphasis on winning games...

I would propose the following

Divisional Tiebreak
1) H2H
2) Divisional Record
3) Conference Record
4) Points

Wildcard Tiebreak
1) H2H
2) Conference
3) Points

I think this league used to have H2H tiebreakers and we moved away from them. Personally, I prefer only one level of random (W-L) in deciding who makes the playoffs, especially in a keeper league. One year the highest scoring team in the league didn't make the playoffs because of W-L.
