Ha. Me too. Pick 12, then pick 4 and now pick 11 in our SharkPool Best Ball. Wanted a mid-round pick just to mix it up. Oh well. Gonna be fun!

Was hoping to get my pick in but have to set to auto draft while I get a root canal.
dang man, good luck
Meanwhile I’ve got pick 2 in 3 straight BB drafts. Went with Barkley in this latest one just to mix it up, but tbh if this was real money stakes I would not have.

In my gorillas, I've had 1, 2, 3 & 4 now. (Also 8 and 12)
One share of Bijan, one of Bowers, one of Barkley and now one Chase. I do love Barkley there though. Curiosity what's your hesitation with him? Not likely to repeat 2 years in a row?
Same concerns I had with CMC last year. 3-4 more games and over 100 touches then his previous career high. I can't bury him, but I'm fading him.
My draft picks with FFPC have mainly been polar opposite by contest. The BB tourney leagues I mainly draw nothing but early round one picks. I've done 4 Gorilla drafts and all 4 have been late, in fact out of those 4 drafts I have only two players who make up my first round picks in those 4 drafts (Lamb and Puka).
I don't mind any pick right now, that round one/two turn is sweet. What I hope to do, as I do most years, is have a good mix of picks.

Sorry.... Was thinking this was going to start tomorrow. Looks like I might have missed it. If the league ID is 97402, I think it might be filled (I don't see that available). Maybe next time.

Yup. Filled it up yesterday. Looks like 10 FBG out of 12 slots. Next time!

we did say Wednesday so I am sorry, it looked like we were close to quorum and there was an empty draft room...

Just curious.... Couldn't you just use the "create your own league" feature? Or doesn't that allow for $5 entries? I've never created my own league at FFPC before.
No options exist to create your own league for entries under $35 or for slow drafts.

Footballguy
We can email the FFPC support folks and they are willing to set up a custom league for us if we wanted to, but I probably wouldn't be the one to reach out and ask if we're only talking about $5 entries.

@menobrown you're about to time out...just in case you didn't get the notification
Thanks, had no idea I was up.

To your point:
Saquon Barkley (PHI) had 436 carries last season…
DeMarco Murray ‘14 436 RB2, next year RB15
Eddie George ‘00 431 RB3 >> RB21
Shaun Alexander ’05 430 RB1 >> RB30
Larry Johnson ’06 429 RB3 >> RB40
Jamal Lewis ‘00 412 RB15 >> DNP
Corey Dillon ’04 410 RB7 >> RB18
Edgerrin James ’00 408 RB2 >> RB33
Curtis Martin ’04 408 RB4 >> RB29
Arian Foster ‘12 405 RB3 >> RB45
Ahman Green ’03 403 RB3 >> RB15
Jamal Lewis ‘03 401 RB4 >> RB26

Yikes, that is a concerning list. Is that all of the 400+ touch seasons over that span or just the ones where guys took a step back? If it's all of them that is pretty darn concerning that RB15 is the best finish following a 400+ touch season since 2000.

Thought we were going to post start time in lg MB and it looks like i missed out; no biggy at all. Been doing plenty of drafts and don't usually do 5's anyway. But I will keep my eye out for the next one.

I copied and pasted from a twitter post from someone but my browser refreshed before I had a chance to note the author. Would absolutely be curious if there are some examples of RBs with that many touches who *did* repeat as a high RB1. IDK.
Derrick Henry came to mind. In 2019 he had 386 carries 1986 yards 18 TDs and followed up in 2020 with 396 / 2067 / 17
But he is going to be in the conversation if he isn't already for best of all time. That was 5 years ago and dude just put up 368 / 2191 / 19 last year. So I *guess* this cautionary tale post applies to him as well, but he isn't a guy I feel like betting against. I sort of feel the same with Barkley this year. But yeah it's scary.
I wonder about Adrian Peterson. He *sort* of dropped off from his 2nd to 3rd season going from 383/1843/12 to 365/1568 and *only* 21 TDs. ok nevermind not a drop off at all but 2nd to 3rd year he was still super young and a freak. and also one of the best. From 2012 to 2013 there was a bit of a dropoff that might be a cautionary tale. Huge dropoff after 2015 I assume it was a big injury I forget.
Good question.
I'll say for me that my concern on Barkley goes past the touches and includes the extra games and his season not ending until mid February limiting his recovery time, but the touches are the major item.
So many things similar to CMC this time last year. Both surpassing career touches and games by 100+ and 3/4 respectively. Both playing into mid February reducing recovery/rest. Both 28. Both having had "celebratory" off-seasons and all that can go into that, with Barkley celebrating a SB and CMC celebrating a big wedding and banging Oliva Culpo on the daily. Most of this stuff is minor, except the touches, just a lot of concern for me when taken all together.

sorry bud, my bad. we were trying to hit a moving target. we said wednesday loosely but the trick is to find an empty room. I don't usually do $5s either but I'm down to keep these going. I'd prefer the $35 ones if we wanted to try for one but as for the $5 format we were looking at, right now on the website right now there is a room with 6/12 seats filled and so if we had stayed with wednesday as a locked in time, we might be sitting here right now waiting for quite some time until a fresh room opens up.

Barkley lives in Philly he'll be alright. He has Mickey to tell him how women weaken legs.

Yea, would prefer a 35 or more (if I am going to take the time to do it would like a little more on the line), but if its 5 I am ok with that since it is all about kickin SP behinds

do you want to jump in one of the SuperFlex BB Tourneys? They're $35 and I'm probably going to start doing a bit of those. Live or slow. There is a 6 hour slow that has 3 spots open right now...Yea, would prefer a 35 or more (if I am going to take the time to do it would like a little more on the line), but if its 5 I am ok with that since it is all about kickin SP behinds

There is also a straight $35 best ball slim room with a 2 hour clock with 11 open spots at the moment.

Just did another $125 FFPC BestBall Tourney. From the 1 spot:
Burrow, Fields
Hall & Braelon, Henderson, Swift & Monangai, Brooks, Tucker
Chase, Wilson, Rome, Egbuka, Pittman & Pierce, Palmer
Kincaid, Gesicki, Otton, Sinnott
This one was fun, some mini-stacks. Jets and Bengals obv but also Chicago, TB, Indy and Buffalo combos. Had tried to get others like Mason Taylor, could have grabbed Elijah Moore instead of Palmer but got cute and thought he might come back to me. Also fun because the person in the 2 spot grabbed Baker Evans Godwin and White but my Egbuka/Otton/Tucker trio has some juice methinks as well. I sensed I sniped them with all 3, though they had the chance to reach before my picks, so. Probably the latest I've waited on TE in a while but I like it.

@barackdhouse taking Zero RB to another level in the $5 Best Ball a bunch of us are in 
Harvey, RWhite, Ekeler after 13 rounds.
Can’t wait to see how that works out.

Probably not great. For $5 I want to see how far I can take a zero-RB build before it breaks. It's a part of why I draft earlier in the offseason. To find trends and potential values. And breaking points. This one might have gone past that point. That said, I'll obviously end up with more than just those three RBs and *might* have an advantage at WR, TE and QB.@barackdhouse taking Zero RB to another level in the $5 Best Ball a bunch of us are in

Can’t wait to see how that works out.
I took Harvey at 5.01 mostly for fun after the Dobbins signing had just happened the day before. Higher stakes I probably go Kaleb Johnson in that spot. (I had gone Chase, Wilson, Tyreek, LaPorta in the first 4 rounds). I know Harvey will fall in ADP quite a bit but I figured I'd plant my flag for fun since he has been such a controversial player so far this offseason. But yeah otherwise I probably go Kaleb or Henderson there. I think the breaking point is/was possibly taking the Kelce/Mahomes combo at the 6/7 turn instead of either or both of Pacheco and Brian Robinson. But the Kelce/Mahomes stack was too fun to pass up as well. And honestly might be great value.
Still 7 rounds to go.

dang that isn't bad so you'd have 1.07 and 1.08 back to back? Is it SuperFlex? TriFlex? 1QB? How did the board go so far? What's the air speed of an unladen swallow? What's for dinner later oh look a squirrel.Started a new start up today. Woke up to an offer of his 1.07 for my 2.05 AND my 2026 1st

Six figures?!?!!? Wow. $35 goes a long way if I can bring home over $100,000!!!
I’m gonna pass. Thanks though. I’m only interested in “basically free” $5 and $10 Best Balls at this point.
But maybe I’ll do another in July to fill the time.

Allen off the board at 1.12 and Daniels at 2.02 in single QB. Interesting. They both went early 3rd round in a start up I did last month.Sorry, standard dynasty which is TE premium.dang that isn't bad so you'd have 1.07 and 1.08 back to back? Is it SuperFlex? TriFlex? 1QB?

Did the HSFF show the other night and found out I was lucky enough to get a Pro v Joe invite! It is my first time and I am thrilled; will do my best not to let our tribe down!
Thanks for passing that along, look forward to giving it a listen.
Congrats on the Pro's vs Joe's invite, good free fun. But reading that kind of made me selfishly feel bad. Was not even paying attention to it and got at least 5 ME tickets I did not register yet to get in the drawing. Duh.
NE_REVIVAL
Footballguy
Bummer, I don't do many MEs, but I had 1 ticket and planned to wait until August. Then I just decided what the heck I have a pretty good idea of current adp so why not do a slow draft and maybe get lucky with the drawing. When they announced they would be revealing the names I thought to myself maybe there is a chance (why else would they want a chucker like me on the show!). But when he listed the names I wasn't one of them and I thought oh well; then he surprises me, swweeet! As for the show I had done it once before a couple of years ago and I was dreadful. This time I think I was a little better prepared and not as nervous and I think I did a little better.

I don't even know what the ME ticket is.

Only 2 more Early Rampage leagues left. I am about to do my 4th
Just means I chose prize option of a Main Event entry.
So I ended up jumping in this one which makes it just the second SF I've done, in like ever.
SF is definitely a difference experience and I might not have the required type of draft strategy figured out but I must admit it's kind of refreshingly new and in particular the first few rounds and different ways you can build your team feels almost liberating vs more of the cookie cutter standard leagues.
Anyway here was my first ever SF team, SF related criticism welcome:
Josh Allen, Bryce Young, Shough/Rattler
Achane, Irving, Harvey/Dobbins, Braelon Allen, Jerome Ford
Tyreek, Marvin Jr, Flowers, Addison, Kyle Williams, Wicks
Kincaid, Mason Taylor, Juwan J, Taysom Hill
barackdhouse

Yeah man that's what I've been saying for years. Plus it makes the position crucial. Not that it isn't crucial in 1QB but obv a big difference. Glad you jumped in.
