I know there is some discussion in the Fan Duel thread but I think since not everyone plays both, it makes sense to keep the discussions separate. And if you play both it's important to recognize that a good play at one site doesn't mean it's a good play at the other. I'll start with some of...

I'm looking for some Beta-testers for a piece of software I wrote that creates projections (from weekly to season) based on play by play simulations. I've spent the last 5 years or so fine tuning the algorithms, and last year used it to finish 4th overall in FBG's Wisdom of Crowds contest. As...

This may have been covered before but i forget the answer... Team A wins the toss and kicks FG. Team B gets the ball, drives down the field, but throws an INT which the defensive (albeit stupidly) tries to return, on which they fumble and Team B recovers. Does the game continue? Or is it...

I created another mock draft on antsports.com. We're getting some great practice in. You will have 8 hours to make each selection. Ignore the scoring system and line up requirements on the league page. We will be using FFPC rules. *Please do not sign up if you don't think you will be able to...

Figured I'd start a list of one player at each position that I'm just not buying into the hype/love and think people who draft them will feel cheated at the end of the year. QB: Cam Newton The thought of having a dual threat QB is a nice one, but I think it's too inconsitent and adds an...

What are some peoples strategies in regards to blind bidding? Do you go all in on the possible star flavor of the week, or do you spend cautiously? I tend to not go all in, but probably aren't as aggressive as I should be since I usually end up with money to spare at the end of the season...

I know according to the rules "Draft Attendance is Mandatory", but being on Long Island with Hurricane Irene supposed to hit Sunday there is good possibility of a power outage occuring. I have a draft Sunday Night and don't want to be auto-picked the entire time due to this (basically throwing...

Someone at work runs an interesting pool for the playoffs, pretty simple to allow even novice fans to play.... Rules are you assign each playoff team a value from 1 to 12 (no duplicates). Each time that team wins, you get that many points. Person with the most points win. For example, here's...

Talk out of Raiders camp this season said they were going to have Nnadmi shadow opposing teams #1 instead of strictly keeping him on the right side. Anyone watch the game and see if they moved him around at all? I realize they played Tennessee who don't really have a True #1, but think it's...

When you hear that so and so is going to be the goal line back instead of another player (Say T. Jones over Charles), at what point does that said Goaline back come into the game to take the carries?

I’ve been working on a model to evaluate Running Backs and thought that I’m at the point where I’d share it and see what others thought of it. It’s a work in progress and it currently gives general conclusions, although I’m trying to make the conclusions a bit more specific. Warning that there...

I was reading Defensive Scheme posts ( http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index...howtopic=379101 ) posted by Jene Bramel and I came across this quote: Johnson referring to Jim Johnson (Philly). It seems as these 3 coordinators that Jene has deemed the most aggressive 4-3 coaches in the...

Does anyone know where I can find stats on Offensive linemen, individual data not team, specifically Sacks Allowed (and maybe Pancakes)? Thanks

What website does your league use to run it? (If this is in the wrong forum please me it). TIA

Just curious to see what people are looking for or asking for or getting. I realize the time to get him was probably a week or two ago, but I thought he'd be out for a least another 2 weeks, but rumors about his return this week have worked against my strategy. TIA

Hey guys, My league has a live draft where usually (if the commish can get 5-6 people together at a time before the actual draft date) the draft spots are drawn, so each team knows where they are drafting. In the past this has been very useful in preparing for the draft (obviously I don't have...

I just read a story on ESPN about how Manning was talking to Marino, and telling him how from watching the film of the Bears Defense he thought certain things could work against them. That got me thinking about what effect an extra week of study of film for Manning has on his performance. I'm...

I run a playoff pool where you get a $50 salary cap and you choose players from a list. Once that player is eliminated you lose his production. It's $10/entry and this year I have 159 entries. I do everything myself, scoring and entries are handled through excel and access. On the entry...
