2024 Anarchy Leagues (1 Viewer)

No shock but you can start me off with CMC in league 4 when we are ready to roll. I can do it myself but not an early bird and don’t want to slow the start

You being the new guy in these leagues, I will point out that a lot of times these drafts can take a while to complete. The NFL season starts in a mere 32 days . . . will we be done in time??? I find the excitement and intrigue of whether we will finish the drafts before the season starts to be both captivating and intriguing. Most years, that's more than I can say about the leagues themselves.
 
These drafts are like trying to do a Rubik's Cube drunk off your keister . . . in the dark. My head hurts trying to figure out who to draft.
 
I liked my Kittle/AJBrown/Waddle start plenty, but I really struggled before pulling the trigger on Stroud/TeamQBTexans.

I thought for sure Pacheco would make it back to me, but @Pigskin Fanatic took him as his RB3.

@Duckboy did a nice job building a green wall. I think it would be better if they were 2N/2A, rather than all from the same Conference.

in both league 2 and league 4 i realize zero-RB is now (or has been for years) the default strategy for everyone so I leaned into all-RB strategy. let's hope it pays off, cotton.

League 2: Barkely, Cook, Pacheco (I like this trio a lot)
League 4: Hall, Cook, Montgomery (this trio hopefully better than the receivers i passed on)

No PPR for RBs is a huge turn off.

Winning these leagues is really pretty straightforward . . . just ask @BroncoFreak_2K3 . All you need to do is draft a team of titanium cyborgs that never miss a snap on NFL teams where every other player is made of glass, so the cyborgs see every possible carry or target and magically all make the NFL playoffs. Works like a charm . . . has been the perfect strategy for years now. Yet the guys I draft all get hernias from playing with their kids in their backyards or tear ACLs tripping on the chalk at the 40 yard line.
 
Here are the number of picks per day by league. Let me know if anything stands out to you . . .

L1: 10, 18, 17, 20, 20, 1
L2: 4, 18, 13, 23, 11, 1
L3: 10, 25, 23, 21, 19, 13
 
Get out of town. Xavier Worthy and Ladd McConkey? Those are real player names? Those sound like random names from the porn name generator that was in the FFA years ago before the boards became Disney approved and G rated.
 
It has come to my attention that Taysom Hill no longer appears as an individual player in our leagues. The Saints declared Hill as a QB last year, which may mean his numbers will apply to NOS TMQB. Last year, for our leagues, Hill was still considered a TE (although after the fact, Hill no longer shows up in the end of the year TE rankings on the league sites). LAST YEAR, his totals DID NOT count under NOS TMQB (ie, no passing, rushing, or receiving numbers were included). I have no idea what MFL is planning on doing this year, and I reached out to them for clarification.

ETA: If my math is right, QBs get 0 PPR, so last year, Hill's totals last year eliminating his 33 receptions (x 2 pts) would have added 114.52 points to NOS TMQB if that's how MFL opted to score it. I will have to research if I am allowed to make my own positional designations for players.

I figured out how to use my superhero powers as commissioner for good (as opposed to my usual function as lord of the underworld). I switched Hill's positional listing to TE for all the leagues. He shows up on the player list for drafting purposes, so anyone that wants him as a TE, have at it. I will take the stance that his totals now will be excluded from QB totals, but I will double back after Week 1 to make sure the Saints QB totals are scored accordingly.

There goes my clever plan to wait on quarterback and draft QB Saints. Hill would've counted towards their TMQB:
QUESTION: If two players that typically play QB are on the field at the same time (think Tim Tebow in Mark Sanchez in 2012), how will that impact scoring for my league that uses the TMQB position?
Answer: Since we don't have a record of exactly how any given player is lined up for any given play, MyFantasyLeague.com scores the TMQB position by simply adding up all of the statistics for all players that we have listed at the QB position for a given NFL team to arrive at a point total for the TMQB position. So, if Tebow (who was listed in our database as a QB) lines up as a WR, and catches a 15 yard TD pass from Sanchez (also listed as a QB), your PHI TMQB position will get credit for both a 15 yard TD pass as well as a 15 yard TD reception on that same play.

while I agree that MFL should list Hill as a TE (they are one of the only that don't)....I will say just from a commish point of view I am a little troubled by switching this designation after drafts have started.....I feel it has kind of always been the unwritten rule around here (survivors and anarchy's) that we have always deferred to MFL's designations even if we don't agree with them....and arbitrarily changing a players status after drafts have started feels a little ....uh....yucky...just IMO and thankful for all that is done so we can do these....but this doesn't feel right....even if we think impact is minimal....

The issue was none of us knew about it, and we've been scoring Hill as a TE for years. MFL is the only place that I know of that considers Hill a QB (or at the very minimum without TE eligibility). IMO, it was fairer to all teams to keep Hill where he's always been vs. having the NOS TMQB vault from a Bottom 10 unit to a Top 8 unit that no one knew was valuable until halfway through the draft. The other issue is I could have found this out and drafted the Saints Team QB and not told anyone, and people would have gone ballistic over that, too.

The only other option is we eliminate Hill from the player pool altogether. He hasn't been drafted yet, and it would be way too much of an advantage to let a team scoop the Saints QB up and get top tier numbers for a deep discount.
 
Also, the Saints changed Hill’s positional designation in training camp LAST offseason, yet left Hill as a TE. As far as MFL goes, we haven’t had a position question before. What we have done in the past is going with how MFL scored specific individual plays (ie double turnovers for scores).
 
I get it.....some of us did know about it (because of survivors and other drafts, mocks, etc. that you could do on MFL)...and we kind of had the discussion about Hill in the survivors and the decision was deferring to MFL....so you rolled the dice if you drafted him on whether they would change his designation at some point to TE or if you were "stuck" with him being a QB....because of this, in anarchy like ZWK mentioned, that was something to consider since we knew how MFL was designating him, so it wasn't really going to be a surprise, he was going to be part of NOS team QB....actually a way to gain an advantage.....(and to be honest, something I was looking at doing.....maybe that's why it also bothers me a little seeing it changed "after the fact" so to speak...so now that changes the plan at QB....lol)......however, it wasn't something you could count on as at any point MFL could change the status and move him to TE or RB..... so the sneaky play may backfire....(especially because I expect MFL to in fact actually change him off of QB status at some point, they have done that before)....it would kind of suck more to be kind of "counting" on him when you draft NOS Team QB and then he gets moved....like you said, you would lose those points....

as a player and a commish....we have always been told one of the ways to gain an advantage in your leagues is to know the rules and settings inside and out (better then your league mates if possible)....this was an opportunity for that and something that technically everybody could have been factoring in....now its gone....but it's all good whatever you decide...

I haven't played in an actual league in 8 years (and only did that cause my son asked me to), and that was after a 3 or 4 year layoff. These are the only leagues I have anything to do with at all anymore (and I would have ended them 5 years ago except for the fact that people still wanted them). There are several other people that have dramatically reduced the time they spend on fantasy, so I know I am not the only one that would have been in the dark about Hill's status. For those that already knew about the Hill situation, we did not have that discussion with this group, so bringing it up before we started would have been the time to get this straightened out.

Anything involving Hill being listed as a QB this year was news to me. I remember getting a message from MFL last year that Hill was getting designated as a QB by the Saints, and they were going to figure out what to do about that (and they left him as a TE). They did not send me a message this year about his status and where they were going to slot him. As such, in checking various positional lists with Hill listed at TE, it never even dawned on me that MFL had pivoted to calling him a QB. To me, the "after the fact" part is really more to do with MFL (at least to me) changing how they classify Hill (and as mentioned, something they could change back again at any time).

IMO, it makes no sense to call Hill a QB now. After a season when he threw 134 passes, MFL declared him a TE . . . but after a season where he threw 11 passes as a TE they consider him a QB. Dumb. I prefer that we just call Hill a TE and leave the NOS TMQB for their other QBs. I don't think that is unreasonable. Both Hill and NOS TMQB have not been drafted by anyone in any league, so no owner can gripe that he drafted one of those and the rules changed after he drafted them.

i agree with 98% of this and am fine with whatever you decide....the part I don't agree with is the last part and bolded.....yes nobody has drafted either yet.....but the "gripe" would actually come from some people (like me) who were planning on drafting them with Hill's status factored in....so while neither have gone off the board it has in fact already affected the way people have drafted....I and others may have passed on a Team QB early knowing we would be drafting NOS later.... if that makes sense....but either way, not a huge deal...

The only fair way would be to decide how we want to handle it and then start the draft over (which is not going to happen). If this were a money league that would be a different story.
 
I don’t know how long I was on the clock. Sorry, I was driving for several hours earlier. I had predrafted all but 5 defenses, so naturally those were the 5 that remained for me to choose from…

Sorry guys. Had what I thought was a pretty safe pre-draft entered in Jennings.

#confused. Who is this Jennings you speak of? The WR from SFO? Who you couldn't have drafted because you needed to pick a RB? Just trying to figure out who you pre-drafted and thought you were going to get.
