Bronn Stone Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Weird to see an expanded rosters ten team snake draft. Long time since I've seen one of those hereabouts. Interesting results. I assume Autodraft still suffered at QB but did a better job than it does at auction, where it tends to get four or five stars and twenty washed up scrubs.

Week Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Autodraft gave me Brian Hoyer at QB3, 2 K, 2 DEF, and Karlos Williams. Turned out pretty OK other than QB3 and RB depth: QB: Rodgers, Stafford (Lynch) WR: AJ Green, Alshon Jeffery, Doug Baldwin, Maclin (VJax, Sanu, Wheaton, Perriman, LaFell) RB: CJA, Gore, Jennings (Hightower, Turbin) TE: Kelce (Bennett) K: Gano DEF: LA (Cin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ded As Ned Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Oh crap I totally forgot about the draft! (Sorry about that). I'll have to go see what menagerie the autodraft gave me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've actually had a expanded roster snake draft every year. Westeros B has always been one, and we had other leagues before that. The main difference is that there's less variance in teams. You can't nail it and have an amazing team out of the draft, but you also really can't mess it up. At least, not on paper at the start of the season. There are some teams that look better than others, but the spread of outcomes based on pre-season evaluations isn't as wide. And the primary disadvantage for autodrafted teams is depth. They do okay for the starting lineup, especially now that Yahoo updates it's rankings every couple of days. But they suffer a bit once you hit round 11, since they are busy drafting kickers and defenses while other people get their sleepers. Same with the end of the draft, where they take guys like Brian Hoyer instead of RB/WR lottery tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Dracarys Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Do defenses not get points for TD's off of punts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeyjack Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Nope. The points go to the individual player. We've always had it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Bah. I'm going to have to actually pull the trigger and make a trade I might now otherwise want to make...time to throw out more lines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Lannister Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Holy Shit, sweating this out big time! My worst week of the year by far and I have a chance to win. Come on New England don't let them have the ball back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Lannister Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Good God, so much for not giving them the ball back. Use some damn clock ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Good luck this week JJ. Looking at our matchup - I'm mainly concerned about your Big Ben/Brown and Blount/NE Defense (Denver is terrible against the run and has a bad offense) stacks in pretty good matchups. Not sure whether to throw Green and Alshon into the fire after time off - we'll see what the news looks like this week. My team is not great and is spectacularly so without those two in the lineup.
