wadup my hokie football fans! this year i will be accepting the responsibility of setting up the fantasy football league after historyhokies' terrific run over the last 2 years
(those write-ups made my week a few years ago)
anywho i will be starting at least 3 leagues, although given the interest itll prolly be more than that. for starters i will start 1 ppr league, 1 regular league, and 1 auction league. (i could also be persuaded to do a keeper league). if theres extra interest for any of the 3 leagues ill start an extra league
im shooting for 10 teams per league with 2 5 team divisions, but could go up to 12 with 4 3 team divisions. if there an overwhelming request for 10 teams please let me know
if we have 10 id take 2 division winners and 2 wild cards to playoffs
12 would include 4 division winners and 2 wild cards with the 2 best records getting byes
the layouts for all 3 will be
1 qb
2 rbs
2 wrs
1 te
1 flex
1 team defense
1 kicker
ill probably leave 6 bench slots
forgot to mention this will be run over espn
please leave your email that youd like on the team and preference for league as well as days ruled out for drafts and ill start sending out invites tomorrow or wed.

PPR or standard
Prefer not to draft the evening of 8/26 or 8/27 between 8 and 10 pm (I could make it work if I have to but doing multiple drafts at the same time hasn't worked well for me in the past.)

tylersmanuel AT yahoo.com
I'm good with whichever league I can get in at this point, but I'd prefer PPR.
Can't draft any earlier than the 25th, but beyond that, I'm flexible.
mecca [dot] jennifer [at] gmail.com
PPR if possible
I'm pretty free for draft times
highty tighty and jmecca, im gonna wait to see if we can get a few more to start a new league, if not ill stick you in the current ppr league and make it a 12 man league you'll have a spot
riedel13 [at] vt [dot] edu
PPR if possible, regular as my second choice.
No worries if there is not a spot available. Sorry for the late response and thanks for putting this together.
glenn_spring [at] hotmail [dot] com
Preference:
1 Regular
2 PPR
3 Keeper
4 Auction
jlbergvt [at] gmail [dot] com
Sorry I am late to the party as well. I would prefer PPR but am willing to join any format the late-comer league ends up being... I have no black out dates for drafting if there is a spot available somewhere. Thanks!
If you need more people any league will work. I wouldn't mind trying out an auction draft.
imbum02 [at] gmail [dot] com
Hi, I'll join the late-to-the-party league as well.

Jumpman2827 at g mail
PPR
Dates are open
Look forward to getting past semifinals this year.
she is still around...
Drfowler84@gmail.com
I don't care. Drafting after 8 would work
Haven't played in 5 years so let the suckage begin
If there's any room I'd like to join. Prefer PPR but beggars can't be choosers. saabsalom@gmail.com
Hey Eshiben, have the straggler emails been sent? If so, I didn't receive it.
they have not sorry today was orientation and its been a fiasco on my end ill get them out in the next 24 hours or so!
Stragglers league is setup, draft is set for next wed at 8! It is PPR tell me if you still do not have an email
Still haven't gotten my email. Is it ESPN?
Thanks for setting this up!
not a problem and yeah you should have it
ill double check tomorrow night
Does it have to be Wednesday? I have no actual conflicts, but preseason doesn't end till Thursday, and it would suck if people got injured the day after we draft.
I cannot do thursday so it kind of depends on if we fill the league
Weekend maybe? I know you're busy guy, so if it doesn't work to move it, it doesn't work. Just figured I'd ask.
sunday work?
Sunday would actually be better for me. I can make Wednesday work, but I'm on a work trip and I'll have to rush a work dinner with clients.
gotcha sunday it is, ill add the other two that just requested and move the draft to sunday this afternoon
Thanks for taking this over, eshiben5!
If spots still available:
USNBOSTX2 [at] gmail [dot] com
PPR; Sunday nights and Wednesday nights bad, but I'll deal.
timwick72[at]gmail[dot]com
PPR; any night
If anyone still would like to play please let me know, the stragglers league has its draft tonight, we currently have 4 leagues theres definitely still room
sami[dot]elhini[at]gmail[dot]com
Can someone explain the ESPN pre draft rankings to me? The numbers don't seem to make sense, and they aren't sortable.
Shoot me a link to the rankings you're looking at, and I'll take a stab at explaining..
http://www.espn.com/fantasy/football/story/_/page/17RanksPreseason200PPR...
If ^^this^^ is the ranking your referring to, the numbers are: rank by position in the first column Bye in the second column and then the ranking each individual Fantasy Analyst gave that player
Setting your own ranking pre-draft, it automatically places the players in a certain order, that isn't exactly by projected rank (see bottom arrow in second picture - not numerical order). There was a projected "46" points player in the top 100. I can't sort the columns; only drag & drop or send to the end by clicking the down arrow.
Hm, I'm afraid you just cant sort and filter from there, but the Default ESPN rankings (when I go there from my TKP league team page) appear to match up with the composite PPR ranks I posted above.
Im game if there are leagues yet to draft ideally regular or ppr. Free anytime after 8 other than this wednesday.
mattjfore[at]gmail[dot]com
It looks like the TKP_regular league that's drafting tonight is set to PPR. I said I would do either so I doesn't matter to me but just wanted to bring it up in case it's a mistake.
my mistake ill fix that
When you're matched up against Tyreek Hill and Kareem Hunt
what was that like 100 points?
like 60-70 those two put on a clinic
72.4 in PPR
thats -18.1 as much as the patriots D got me!
I have Patriots RB sitting next on my bench and Gronk out there doing nothing.
Woo, I'm the highest scoring loser in the PPR league! I feel like Pat Narduzzi. If Hill and Hunt hadn't been pushing off all night on Thursday, I might have had a chance
Don't worry I lost with Kareem on my bench. That was a pretty big mistake.
I play in three fantasy leagues, only game I lost was the auction format team for this league and it wasn't close.
The two lowest-scoring teams in the Standard Scoring league were named "Converted Tight Ends" and "11 Tight End Offense".
Coincidence?
I'll do some power rankings tonight look for a write-up tomorrow morning along with the weekly weather report! YAY wed mornings!
