I could not find this doing a quick search. How many avid Fantasy footballers are on tArk? Would be fun to bounce ideas and strats off each other during the season... I've noticed the Fantasy Board is pretty dead and there are a bunch of trolls there too.

I'm a semi big FF nerd.

I like the idea of a thread to do start sit, trade evals, etc on.

I'm actually playing in an IDP league this year which is new for me. I'm kind of worried. I have no idea when to draft D, who's good on D (for FF purposes), and how to fill my bench (8 spots) when I start 17 positions.

I do pretty well each year usually 1st or second place

But I just let the computer draft for me

Not even going to pretend I have anything to do with my success

Well you're short 2 DBs, 1 LB, and 1 DL.

I'm playing in four leagues this year. If anyone has any ideas for a politically incorrect/offensive team name, let me know. I'm in one league where such a name is a requirement.

Does anyone use drafting software when putting together your team? In my opinion, it kind of takes the fun out of drafting but then again it'd be nice to win a league every once in awhile.

Dirty With Player References

I'll have a couple top lists open but I prefer to wing it. We draft online with ESPN, so that already takes a good amount of skill out of the equation.

I'm the commissioner of the league at my workplace. Been thinking about my draft strategy. Which is a waste of time because the other players are unpredictable.

I've won the 10 team league my friends and I have two of the last five years. My 2013 winnings paid for my Auburn trip last Fall

Post your sleeper picks and you Do Not Draft lists.

I am really likely the value of the rookies this year. I think Gordon, Abdullah, Coleman, and Yeldon could all be solid mid to late round RB picks.

I am avoiding McFadden, Shady, Ellington, Hyde, Bell, & Gio.

I like him too, but is a 4th round guy a sleeper?

In a PPR league he is second round material. You watch. The sleeper is he is WR1 with a bullet.

Well we had our office league fantasy draft today. It is a 14 team league, standard scoring. I had draft slot #4. Here is what I got:

RB Adrian Peterson MIN (Hope he can stay out of jail this year)
RB Frank Gore IND
WR DeSean Jackson WAS
WR Andre Johnson IND
FLEX Ammer Abdullah DET
QB Eli Manning NYG
TE Delanie Walker
D/ST Carolina Panthers
K Garrett Hartley PIT

Bench:
WR Anquan Boldin SF
WR Stevie Johnson SD
WR Dorial Green-Beckham TEN
RB Danny Woodhead SD
RB David Johnson ARI
TE Tyler Eifert CIN
QB Jay Cutler

I am missing a stud Wide Receiver. Hard to get that if you don't spend a 1st or 2nd round on one. I chose to take Peterson and Gore to start off. If you don't take a stud WR, there is really not much difference between the rest of the field. Then I went with Ameer Abdullah, I really like him alot.

Then I took Andre Johnson and DeSean Jackson. Those were the best looking options left at WR.

Eli Manning at QB, and then Delanie Walker at TE. I wanted to get Tannehill, but he was taken right before me.

Hard to judge a 14 , but I don't love Gore that early. I don't trust him.
