    2021 NFL Fantasy Football

    Don't think we've had a new thread since about 2017 so it's probably time to make one for this year....

    I'd assume that all players from last year are returning? Really it's only @Ian and @Baz I haven't spoken to about it yet.

    Season is sneaking up on me quickly so I guess it's time to start discussing when we should draft. I have a draft this Saturday, but otherwise i'm open to any evening really (preferably Friday or Saturday, but I could make other days work).

    Season starts on Thursday the 9th, so we'll have to schedule it before then, and have time to do keepers. We'll stick with the 2 keeper format from previous years, I think.

    For ease of getting time for the keepers sorted out, it's likely best to be either 28/29th or the 4/5th of September.

    I'm good for any of those evenings.

    RIP 2017 thread. I'll need to check if I have any backshifts which will interfere. I shall report back tomorrow.

    If we can find one more interested party we could extend from 10 teams to 12, although the newcomers wouldn't get any keepers for the first season.

    If Sundays are best for Pleb maybe we should aim for Sunday the 5th with the previous Sunday as the keeper deadline? Something like a 9pm start time?

    28th August and 4th to the 7th September are the nights I definitely can't do for that end of August / start of September period but I appreciate that rules out some prime draft dates so if the 5th works for everybody else then go for it. I'll make sure I have my keepers in in uncharacteristically timely fashion and leave my draft in the hands of fate (or try and make an effort for the autodraft thing.)

    Can you do the 29th? If people can get me their keepers in the next few days we can make that work?

    29th suits me.

    Is there anyone from my team I can’t keep?

    My mate would probably join. Every year he moans that he’s playing with strangers and wishes he was in my league.

    You will have kept 2 from last year, so they're out, as is anyone you waivered in that wasn't drafted.

    Was hard to find because the app is naff so here’s a link to last seasons draft results: https://football.fantasysports.yahoo...y=draftresults

    So I can’t keep Tyreek Hill or Kenyan Drake.

    Yea, I can get in.

    And yea, that's right Baz. Hill, Drake and anyone who went completely undrafted because they don't have a price.

    Similar to Baz, they have to have a value (e.g. they have to have been drafted last year) but yea, as long as they were, and it's not those 2 players, or someone who was kept by someone else that you acquired, you'll be fine.

    To simplify it, these players are not available as keepers:

    CMC, Zeke, Tyreek Hill, Watson, Henry, Kupp, Kyler Murray, Sanders, Singletary, Allen Robinson, Loomar, Drake, Sutton, Rudolph, Golden Tate, Metcalf, Fant, Josh Allen

    I'll do the draft order random draw on my lunch break so people can make informed decisions on their keepers. I guess for now we'll stick to 10 players as the keeper system makes it hard to add anyone else without vastly changing the player values.

    Fuck's sake I hate being at an end of the round.

    And being behind Fox too, I know that cunt's going to beat me to Tebow.

    I've set the keeper deadline for tomorrow, but this isn't a hard deadline, it's just done to allow me to start putting them in ASAP. Anyone who can get them to me (via PM or via Yahoo) by tomorrow, great, but if you can't I'll accept them up until Sunday or so, to allow us a week to prepare to draft the following Sunday.

    I can't see the option to set them myself on Yahoo so I'll officially post my keepers here.

    Monty for an 8th
    Jefferson for a 15th.

    Well there is sadly absolutely fuck all value in the back end of last year's draft for me as regards keepers.

    Gimme Kelce in round 2 and..................... erm, let's say McLaurin in round 6. Not convinced about the second but I'll trust Fitzmagic to power McScorin' and therefore me to success. What could go wrong.

    It's why I decided to take a punt on Jefferson in the 15th last year, I didn't expect him to go mental last year.

    Also took Jeudy in the 12th as an option but his brick hands failed me.

    I don't think either of my keepers are amazing value but I don't think I'll regret Kelce at the end of the second round and I like McLaurin so he should be solid at the end of the sixth as well.

    Kelce isn't too bad there. You would likely not get him at pick #19 and he was a sliver off winning the receiving yards crown last year. As a TE that's great going.

    No chance he'd last to 19 with keepers.

    As everyone else's keepers are public already I'll post in here the 2 sets I've had so far:

    Baz: Cook and Waller
    GF: Diggs and Younghoe

    That brings us to 5/10 teams submitted.

    I had forgotten that I drafted Bronson Rechsteiner (as a joke) last year.

    Son of Rick Steiner, Nephew of Scott who is now signed to the WWE on a developmental deal.

    I'd put him as a Keeper just to be on the safe side.

    Thommo is keeping only Calvin Ridley, unless he lets me know otherwise before I get the other 3.

    Only Pleb and the 2 non-TTHers to go now...

    Keepers are all locked in and added to the draft.

    Draft set for this Sunday at 9pm.

    I already hate my team. I’ve prioritised winning over getting players I like. I feel like I’ve let Pleb down.

    I’ve heard anecdotally that Yahoo got rid of chat during drafts. I presume this is just for mocks?

    It’s definitely there for real drafts, didn’t know it ever was for mocks.

    If there's no chat I genuinely might just leave Yahoo to pick for me and to hell with the consequences.

    EDIT: Never mind then.

    Has everyone confirmed they can make the draft? Even having one “autodraft” team is enough to ruin the league.
