Saw the rules are there. Will the entry form be out today?
Yeah, the rules were posted over the weekend. According to Dodds, the contest starts (i.e. the entry forms will be up) today.
I keep refreshing but nottin happens
Earlier, when I clicked on the Entry Form link, I just got a blank white page that said "Error 1" or something like that. Just tried again and now I'm being directed to an actual page on the site (although the entry form still isn't there). Does this mean we're getting close to the launch?

:bag: My drafts aren't until later this month. I'm itching for some kind of fantasy football activity to start.
 
Snap. First try yielded $261 and 30 players. Second try yielded $243 and 30.

Did not expect Lynch to be $21. I'm having a hard time finding RBs in the $10-$20 range that I like. Right now I'm leaning towards going light at the position. I can't help but be tempted to buck the system and go 3QB.

 
LOL - put together a pretty random team that will likely look nothing like the final product. Wanted to make sure I got the lowest entry number I could :shark:

I wish Deznon Briscoe was a WR option instead of Michael Spurlock. Much better chance of success.

Every year only a handful of teams attempt the many-kickers strategy and every year at least one of them goes very deep in the contest. As mentioned above, they regularly score points, rarely get injured, every week some kicker has a huge 5 FG game, and most importantly they're cheap! It makes no sense to take any fewer than 7 or 8 kickers IMO.
:thumbup: Don't understand why more people don't do this.For further reference, I just grabbed Dodds's projections and did fantasy points per dollar calculation. Here are the results for the top player at each position:
Code:
Pos	Player     	Pts/$QB	A Rodgers	14.60RB	A Foster	7.63WR	A Johnson	9.25TE	A Gates     	8.03PK	N Kaeding	23.14TD	Steelers	14.56
Oh well, just makes it easier for us to win the big money. :shrug:

Way over the top. No backups at any position but kicker probably won't work. Even if somehow you make it that far, you would have no shot in weeks 5 or 7. In week 5 you would not have a defense, or any running backs. In week 7 you would have no QB, TE, and only one WR.

In Preseason Week 1, you have no sense of humor.
 
Last year I tried going with only 1 QB. I figured I could survive if they had a bye in week 4 since the cut-off would still be low. Unfortunately, that QB was Tony Romo.

Too many RB/WR, not enough kickers imo.
 
2x QB = $51

6x RB = $80

5x WR = $76

3x TE = $18

4x K = $13

3x D = $12

23 players = $250

It's probably foolish to say I'm all set after one day. But aside from swapping cheap sleepers I'm probably done.

 
Wow, is that a 4 point font?
