I'm all set. For anyone who needs it, here's how you do it (more or less, hopefully I haven't missed anything) ...@ryheaps @BusMan @Mr. Irrelevant @Crippler
You will need to link you team. If you can't log in as commish and do this, PM me your e-mail address. I will be very scarce today so please be patient.
Was close to taking him over nuk. Just decided I'd rather secure a top guy at a position requiring more than one starter (and no flex here). But it was very close.Pumped getting Kelce. Didn't have a backup plan. With the Hill news I can't imagine Mahommes (who was surprisingly available) doesn't wear out Kelce.
Kelce was my 2nd predraft behind Zeke at 1.03. In 2PPR there's a strong case to be made he should go 1.01.Pumped getting Kelce. Didn't have a backup plan. With the Hill news I can't imagine Mahommes (who was surprisingly available) doesn't wear out Kelce.
Thanks. This was very helpful.I'm all set. For anyone who needs it, here's how you do it (more or less, hopefully I haven't missed anything) ...
As simple and easy as everything else on MFL these days.
- Choose "Franchise Setup" under the Commissioners menu
- Click the "Franchise Setup" link
- Click "Change Access Code" at the top of the page
- Select your name from the drop down menu and input an access code (must include a special character for some reason) and click Save
- Go back into the Franchise Setup link and click "Link Franchise"
- Select your name again and enter the same access code you just created, and click the button at the bottom (Link or Continue, something like that)
- Finally, you should see a new link next to your ID at the top right of the page that says "Become Owner" - click that

Again, there's nothing comparative about me and Todd Gurley, and it's laughable to even consider it, but I'm about to turn 51, and as a chef, I work on my feet 10-16 hours a day, sometimes for a full 7-day week , in a physically demanding job. If I can relate to him in any way, post-surgical arthritis is all about pain tolerance and pain management. I have an extremely high pain tolerance. Gurley is a professional football player; I'd hope his is as high or higher than mine. I medically manage my pain somewhat effectively. He'd better have access to better tech and better drugs than I do.
In short, Gurley at 1.13? Really? I'll take my chances.
The TE thing changes things a little....5 TE's off the board by 2.07.........no 2 PPR I would imagine neither Hilton or Allen make it to your 2.14The IBL is a 12-teamer and if you told me right now I could start off my draft in August with Zeke, Hilton, and Allen I'd jump on it.
Needless to say, I'm pretty happy about that start here.
I almost took him at 6.nittanylion said:There's little to nothing comparative about me and Todd Gurley. It's laughable to even consider it.

You haven't seen him in the kitchen.I almost took him at 6.
The difference (the only one, right?) Between you and Gurley is you don't need to make sudden cuts and move in different directions quickly to be effective. Presumably you also didn't sit the key moments in the last year and had a promising rookie drafted to possibly replace you.
For risk reward, you won't do much better than Gurley at 13. But I can't really blame anyone for not taking him.
We all knew Kelce was a first rounder and with @Stinkin Ref, there was no way Mahomes was getting past the second round. Which surprises you more, Williams at 31 or Watklns at 33?Things I did not expect to see in the first three rounds of this draft:
I left Jacobs off the list because I could see a case for him at the 2/3 turn yesterday, even if I personally might not have taken the risk on him at 3.03. After the news of Crow's Achilles tear this morning, Jacobs at 2.16 is a slam-dunk IMO.
- 4 Chiefs in the first 33 picks
- Gurley falling all the way to 1.13
- TE's going even faster in rounds 1-2 than they did in the PDSL with a flex
- Both Falcons WR's already off the board
- Mack falling to the same ADP as PDSL (RB19) when the draft was the biggest threat to his status
yeah Mahomes would have gone at 2.15.....We all knew Kelce was a first rounder and with @Stinkin Ref, there was no way Mahomes was getting past the second round. Which surprises you more, Williams at 31 or Watklns at 33?
Reviewing your ADP list Williams went at 4.3, 3.2 and 4.5, but some expected KC to take an RB early, so a little more than a round earlier than the other three drafts. Watkins went 5.12, 6.7 and 5.9, but the latest knowledge of Hill obviously led to that increase, drastic though it was.
Smart move.yeah Mahomes would have gone at 2.15.....
as far as Williams a little earlier than normal....took a look at the RB's at that time....and Jacobs wasn't really on my radar, so there was KJ, Fournette, Cohen, Micahel, Mack, etc....Fournette is a move on to the next guy pick for me in these type leagues.....maybe in a normal redraft with trades and WW stuff he finds a way on to my roster, but not in these.....still not sure about KJ and they added Ware, etc....Cohen IMO was dealt a blow with the Davis signing and now also a rookie they traded up to get....I realize Cohen has a "role" but still he may be seeing less of the pie....kind of the same ting with NE adding Harris to an already crowded backfield for Michel....Williams dodged the most bullets in the draft and his finish to last year was an RB1 type stuff and I see no reason why it wouldn't continue and why he isn't the RB1 in KC....not saying he is Hunt, but they didn't really miss a beat....those passing on him seem to just be assuming he can't sustain it or are following the sheep with the "there is a reason he wasn't a starter before" stuff.....I think this offensive scheme is good for his skill set...
so Williams was the pick there even though I maybe could have gotten him at 3.02, but wasn't sure how Norsemen felt about him and what direction he would go....I also knew I would be able to get at least one of Diggs, Allen, or Green at 3.02.....
I'm may be "overreacting" to losing HIll....but its a huge blow to Mahomes and the entire offense...Smart move.
Surprised you didn't get Mahommes at 1.2 to complete the sweep.
I’m not saying either of them were bad picks. But I was thinking Hill’s absence would lead folks to downgrade that entire offense - as Ref notes - and I’m not sure either Williams’ talent or Watkins’ health merits a bump big enough to offset that.We all knew Kelce was a first rounder and with @Stinkin Ref, there was no way Mahomes was getting past the second round.

Fwiw, I would have taken Chubb if you hadn't. He could be really good this year.BassNBrew said:RB: Chubb 7, Fournette 10
WR: Woods 9
TE: Kelce 12
Not entirely thrilled. That's usually the outcome of starting TE. Chubb is in that group of RBs that you don't know what you are getting. Preferred Williams there but didn't want to start off the team with a doubled up late bye. Not sure why I took Fournette, he'll spend half the season hurt. In hindsight I should have taken Edelman. Woods is just a boring safe pick with limited weekly upside. Lockett was in my pre-draft here too.
On a ppg basis he was 11th last year in this format. You can drop down to QB20 and still be within 2 ppg (QB18 and .7 ppg). I don't think it's a bearish case as much as chasing the next Mahoomes. The guys selected in front of him have much more upside. I can see why he's not as attractive in a bb format.Does someone want to give me the bearish case on Russell Wilson? I thought he was great value at QB6, where he's gone in the three previous SLs, and was stunned to see him drop all the way to QB8.
Is it as simple as thinking last year's 427 PA is the new normal in Seattle?

We did a trade league beforeI think it would be fun to be able to make like one trade in these things.... like before the draft was over....each team gets one trade...
IT goes by several names, but generally leans toward pride. We take the optimistic viewpoint on most everything we do because we are by nature self protecting. Another word for this is perspective, which is mostly slanted heavily toward our being correct. Another possible new term for it may be Gettlemanization.Not picking on anyone in particular...we all do it.

Chris Harris is the type of fantasy analyst I can't handle in large doses, but I'll give him this - he bangs on all the time about these being classic "crutch arguments" and he's exactly right. Another one I hear way too often is "somebody's got to catch the ball for [team]" as an excuse for drafting a JAG on a bad team, when every year there are always 3-4 pass offenses in the NFL that no sane person wants any piece of, period.Not picking on anyone in particular...we all do it.
