That's a double-edged sword of sorts.
It's like, "Yay, I get to pick first" but then you realize 30 players will get nabbed before you pick again each and every round.

<reviews thread and league message board> What discussions were these?
My accursed refrigerator blindness has stricken me once again.
I think I'm mixing up 2 leagues in which I'm the Commish. We didn't have PPR in this league last year. In that league, we had .5 and reduced it to .25 this year
PS: Do we want to add an extra bench spot or leave it as it? For the record, I lean against this since 5 is already one more than we had last year

I would leave things as is.
Some of us would have drafted differently with an extra bench spot available.
The last-minute PPR scoring change impacted draft strategies enough already.
Man, that's the worst post-draft projection Yahoo! has ever given me. A 3-10 record? Really?
Looks like I'll have some work to do to make the money a 4th consecutive year.

Well it was made before the draft. If you guys want, we can switch it back to .5 but you won't like it if my other league is anything to go by
We didn't have PPR in NQ last year. That was the confusion. If you read the first page I added it along with an extra bench spot. In my other league, we dropped the PPR from .5 to .25 cos .5 made WRs ridiculously overpowered
Correct
Not really. PPR turns checkdown TE and RB into fantasy relevant players. It also inflates the stats of possession WRs. Lemme find some scores from my other league last year
Between point .25 and .50?
Almost everyone complained about .5 so we reduced it to .25. I can't speak on .25 since I haven't played it before. In fact, last year was the first time I played PPR at all

It's kind of a messy situation.
It was at 0.5 up until just hours before the draft yesterday.
Then it was switched to 0.25 immediately prior to the draft which clearly impacted everyone's point projections during the drafting process (inflating certain players and depressing others).
And has since been switched BACK to 0.5 after the fact.
For instance, I drew up my draft board with a 0.5 PPR expectation and then adjusted on the fly to favor certain players with the 0.25 PPR scoring in place on draft day.
Other people clearly drafted with a 0.5 PPR expectation all the way through not realizing that the ruled had "temporarily" been changed.
It's a big mess which is why you shouldn't be tinkering with league settings on draft day no matter what the circumstances.

I voted for 0.5 per reception. That is what I assumed was agreed upon going into the draft. Wouldn't have changed things either way but there you go.

I wasn't complaining. Just asked where the discussion took place.
At this point a vote is kind of fruitless as we had people drafting under two different auspices of point-scoring expectations.
I would leave it at 0.5 PPR myself.
The solution would have been to have reset the rule prior to the draft but that can't exactly happen any more.

If you're looking for extra RBs, Sangreal's the guy you want to talk to.I couldn't resist going jumbo package with Thomas and Gronk at 32/33. Probably will regret it. Probably should have gotten an RB.
But then again i got 2nd last season and my draft was horrific. Hopefully I can convince TDs and Beer to trade me a stud again
He needs to trade me Nick Foles.

It says I'm projected to finish second. I dunno, I felt like I had a fairly weak draft.

Did I trade you McCoy at the end of the season? I can't remember the trade.
Heh yeah, McCoy and Patterson for Cruz and Tate.
Pretty sure that was it. At the time I swear it didn't look that bad.
It wasn't. I believe Patterson ended the year well. I was hoping for a Cruz comeback as I had lost Blackmon due to suspension. I'm happy with some people that fell to me this year (Kap, Pitta, Moreno) but I have to remind myself when looking at my team that it's a 16 team league which I am not used to.

He's done this each of his other seasons. No reason to think that changes.
He usually gets drafted between 5-10.
I think there are plenty of reasons to think he won't this year. I wouldn't bet he finishing top 5 if it was my money.
Welker suspended 4 games. Damn. Good news for Sanders owner.

I appreciate the level of commitment the Commish has shown this week to spot start a bunch of guys in Week 1 at the expense of his bench depth from his draft.
He really wants the victory against me and I expect that he'll get it. (I own a lifetime 2-0 record against him spanning three seasons so this would be a first.)

Haha. With my luck, I'll lose somehow. The Welker suspension works out pretty well for me if Latimore doesn't get that 3rd WR spot

Caldwell is going to get more targets between the 20s. Along with Tamme and Ball.
Especially in short-yardage situations and when they want Sanders to go out wide instead of playing slot.
Latimer will come into play in the red zone.
Figures that my karma would be that I'd have the worst schedule in the league this season after the easiest last season.
Going to have my work cut out for me. (Although the perk with losing some early games is that I'll have nice draft position to score some choice waiver claims.)
