I don’t know the exact roster as I can’t get on the website. The team isn’t horrible but the issue is at RB. We kept Hopkins and OBJ. I remember Mahomes and Wilson at QB. The only RB in the first 15 picks was Gordon. Also got Evans, Ebron, Coutee Funchess, Hooper, Zeurlein, Bears. Have to start two RB and only have one (assuming Gordon shows up). I believe the draft picked the RBs over and there really isn’t much left to choose from.
I am a co owner with my son. Apparently only on person can be in the draft room representing a team. So the commish was trying to get both of us the one of us into the draft and the system wouldn’t let either one of us into the draft room. Ultimately we had neither one of us on the draft site, the commish couldn’t resolve the site access issue, tech support takes like two days to look into an issue, so he basically said there was no work around and started the draft. Commish either didn’t know how to stop and start draft or replace picks or was unwilling to do so. So we kept trying to get logged on without success. Commish basically said he was busy drafting and was no longer willing to try to fix the problem mid draft. We tried for over two hours (plus the original four hours) and then gave up).
Yeah, your problem is definitely the $4200 at stake. Everyone but your son has already spent their winnings. I say suck it up, do your best to add/drop to get a serviceable roster and wait till the injuries start piling up and make some trades. It won't be the best $350 you've ever spent, but you don't really have a better option. And don't quit. If you quit the bastards really win.
You are missing that it’s 11-1. We aren’t getting any votes in a trade vote. No one is upset over this except us.
Have you considered going with the tried & true old school FF solution?
you sound like a good commish vrs the BAD one that handled his draft.
Thanks.
I would definitely quit this league next year even if I went undefeated and won the whole thing.
That's a good team. Not having a good second running back isn't a big deal. Try to trade one of your receivers for a running back.
Maybe check your son's log in information. Co-owners have to log in under the same account.
Yeah. Because I often ask for people to rate my teams. I don’t believe I have ever asked that in 20 years as a poster and 10 years as a FBG staffer.
If we're doing revenge fantasies then the real revenge you want is against the commissioner, not the other guys. Every week, make a trade that helps his opponent. Not illegal trades. Trade a great guys with a good matchups for a couple good guys with bad matchups, or who are on bye. Just enough to make it harder for him. If he's close to a playoff spot at the end of the year, don't just help the guys he's playing, help the guys he's competing with for the last spot.
This. Plus "forgetting" to set your lineup in late season games where you play the commish's division rivals.
Dude, you can easily work with that - you did get screwed though. What are the starting requirements?
I'm still amazed that, in 2019, most fantasy sites still have this problem with logic when it comes to auto-draft.
Start 1QB? If so, package Wilson and a WR for the best RB you can find and go stomp their asses. And pray that Gurley gets lots of rest. Hawk the wire for RBs, maybe threaten murder for the top waiver priority for the first week.
If no one stood up and said, "Hey, this is wrong," knowing there were connectivity problems, they're all on the revenge list imo. This wasn't a free yahoo league, that's BS what they're allowing. Integrity is standing up and speaking out when there's an injustice--even when you're the beneficiary of said injustice.
There’s plenty of trade bait there. Wilson & some WRs should get you RBs and balance out the team.
Oh #### that. I'd drive to his ### #### house and demand my money for this bull####. No way in hell am I dropping $350 just to be told tough after only a few minutes of trying to log in and not being able to text or email picks.
First off, simply looking at your team, I guarantee there are worse teams in your league. Sure, they may be more balanced, but their studs aren't gonna be that studly. Moving on, you have the best QB in the league, and a top-10 backup, so at least 1 team is starting crap. I can't imagine a team having a trio of WR's better than yours, so again, best in your league. You have 2 top-12 TE's, so at least 1 team is having to start crap. Yes, I know it's taboo to draft a D or K early, but you have the best in the league.
You obviously got screwed and the team would have been much better should you had been allowed to draft but if Gordon does come back (I have doubts) this team is not terrible.
This. What the heck is the rush? If the draft site was screwed up he should have picked another time. There is a month to go before the season starts. Worse yet though was putting you on autopick and not allowing you to email or phone your pick. The Commish is an idiot.
I’m sorry this happened to you. Seems unjust and it’s a tough pill to swallow given the size of the entry fee.
