If I could suggest one change from last year it would be to make this a PPR league. Its not the end of the world if we don't, but it does add another dimension to things.

I somehow fumbled my way to 2nd last year, maybe this year I'll wander around and end up first! :lol:

I wouldn't be at all opposed to a PPR league. I've never done one before so it would a nice change of pace.

Any thoughts?

I also updated the teams, sitting at 8 teams total right now.

Yeah, like I said, no biggie at all if people aren't cool with it, just thought it'd be fun to give one a shot.

What should my team name be this year? No one cares about Tebow's neckbeard or Cutler's wife anymore. I need something dynamic and new.

Something like hitchBOT's Severed Head, but lasting enough I'll remember why I named my team that by the end of the season.

Hmmm.

I'm have no objection to trying a PPR league.

I've only been in one other FFL - but it was a PPR league, so I'm cool with it.

Also, team name - mamberglers

I've always wanted to do a 1/2 PPR, with 5 pts for QB TDs, 2 defensive players, and individual pts for kickoff returns.

Well there's only 8 guys as of now so there's is still plenty of room if you want to join this year. I usually don't like more than 12 teams in a league.

:lol: That there just makes FFL even more confusing than it already should be. 1/2 ppr sounds good to me though.

Yup, 1/2 ppr sounds good to me too.

And yeah, Ry Manchu's other suggestions would be over my head.

I know this is the FF thread and not the NFL thread, but man, metalguy, does Arian Foster break your heart every year or have you just accepted he's never going to be healthy again?

Jesus Christ I can't take it anymore. I've been defending him the past few seasons but enough is enough already. Dude just can't stay healthy like AT ALL. Just the same old story once again.

Down side is though, when he is healthy, he is one of the better every down backs in the damn league. Running, receiving, blocking, etc. He's supposed to go on IR with designation to return. We brought in Pierre Thomas today but apparently we couldn't agree on terms. I'm sure were offered him 1 year veterans minimum or slightly higher than and he wasn't having that at all.

The 5 pts for QB TDs is simple. Some leagues give 4 pts and some give 6. I hate 6 pts, because it is nearly impossible not to make the playoffs if you have a top 4 QB.

I've always left the points system basically default for most of the league years. 4 pts for passing TDs is standard and that's what it was last year. It was discussed to be 6 pts if I remember correctly but never actually made the switch.

If given a choice, I would choose not to do a PPR league. However, its not a big deal for me and if everyone else wants to do PPR, I'm down with it.

As for 5 or 6 pts for a QB TD, I'm not in favor of that at all. Get one of the top three QB's on your team and its almost a sure thing you'll make the playoffs. I would vote we leave it at 4.

Yeah the standard 4pts for QBs in a 12 team league is the best IMO too.

Assuming we get to 12 guys. :lol:

Agreed.
