***Shark Pool Home League Uno*** - Beware the ADP Sheriff! (2 Viewers)

I feel bad for my opponents. Truly, I do. I mean, I just have an embarrassment of options.

Fields looks like he's starting again. I set the o/u for 200 yards rushing yards and 3 TDs there, right? Achane & Mostert both not practicing? Can that be true? May have to fire up Wright in that case.

And, of course there's Mason. We need to talk about Mason and what he did against a top defense last night. I think we all agree it's time to put CMC out to pasture, right?

I think my biggest problem is just trying not to score too many points.

I'm just so pretty!
 
Stupid football. So much luck involved.
I have a feeling your luck will change this week. Congrats in advance.
We have different styles of trash talk. Yours is the humbled respectful type. Mine is the uneducated alpha male type. I'm about to adopt u to my family. Put u in my yard for cheap labor. Daddy will give u shelter and food. It begins this week son.
Oh, dont get me wrong. The only way I lose this week is if the team bus carrying every one of my starters and backups breaks down on the way to the game and they never show up.

I’m actually calling a team meeting to tell them to give 50-60%, take it 2 or 3 weeks at a time, look past this game and ahead to the next game, and save some for the next opponent who might actually put up a fight.

But, on the other hand, congrats in advance on winning this coming weekend.

Bravo. Well played, indeed.
 
Yahoo is my fave spot to do them, but they cap you at 50 leagues. So after I hit my 50, I went and used underdog. Those guys at underdog tend to be a bit sharper.

I started out just doing $1 leagues, as it was a way to mock draft where people actually take it seriously. Did that last year and tripled up, so ended up doing 160+ of them this year but usually do the $20 leagues.

Hey. This is pretty close to what I did. 120 BBs. 50 at Yahoo for a buck a piece. 70 at DraftKings for $300 give or take. They're just summer late night time wasters that paid off nicely last year. They're way better than mocks for getting a feel for things, and drafting has always been my favorite part of this hobby.

8 managed leagues

3 of these home leagues - I'm going 0-3 this week

2 established FBG redrafts - 2-0 this week

1 20 year smack talking family league - 1-0

1 massive 24 year old "experts" start 22, 11 idp, 2qb, 2te, multiflex redraft - opponent needs Deommodore and QWilliams to outscore Kittle by 40, so likely 1-0

1 Vegas Bros high stakes idp redraft - 1-0

This is too much for me. I quit from 2015 to 2020. Came back when those older leagues needed replacements. Vowed to keep it to 5. Lied to myself.
JJ over CMC not lookin so bad right now lol
:finger:

Interesting, just noticed our waivers don't clear until 3pm on Wednesdays. Kinda cool actually. I think. It's different for me. I guess we can collect info from other leagues and make adjustments. Just so used to waivers clearing in the middle of the night. Wednesday mornings looking waivers processing while my coffee is making was a thing.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was wondering why this sleeper league waiver run didn’t happen right after my other 2 sleeper leagues.
 
Lots of roster churn going on. It's a little early to be running scared from me. Appropriate, but still early.

FTR I hated my team long before any of you hated yours.

But it just got so pretty so fast.
 
@Deamon getting ready to open the week with two haymakers, named Allen & Achane. Hoping to deliver the knockout blow before the week even gets rolling.

I'm not concerned.

Although, to be fair, I don't think I've ever rooted more strongly for a 3-0 ball game on national television.

Yuck
I apologize for misspeaking.

Of course I meant: 0-0 tie.
This is by far my league with the least importance/buy in, so crush me this week all you want lol
Maybe so but those bigger money leagues are with strangers. At least thats how mine have been in the past. This league is with people in the boards. Makes it a little more personal. The money means nothing. Imo

This guy gets it.

And is also scared on my team, because it's so pretty.

Maybe, but you'll never forget me.
 
Nice opening round from @Deamon . Achane just kept gobbling up opportunities. Enough so that I question Mostert's role when he comes back.

But was it enough? Saquon's cracking open a six pack (yes, a whole one) just so he can have someone hold his beer.

Not really... Allen was a dud. I basically stayed the same in my odds after last night's game. You got this week. Congrats.

OH FFS!!!

The most superstitious people in the world are baseball players and apparently magic football managers.

But, thanks. It clearly isn't over, you held serve at worst and I put zero stock in predictive models that don't keep statistics on how their models actually perform.
 
If I'd know there would be this much dead money in the league I would have been in. ;)

You're in next year if someone quits. Love the 'douchy' posts. Keep 'em coming!

Did you do one of these leagues? You will have to post your team(s) if so. :)

Properly memorializing @BassNBrew's all-ADP squad for reference, since he's been creeper-poking at my sleeper team in other threads. 😆

This is setting up for Jameson Williams to put up a 4 TD monster to beat me.

Not getting him in our draft is still my biggest disappointment

Obviously I have a tremendous advantage. I don't like how it came about but I recognize it.

Look at it this way, if you somehow win it'll be hilarious. I should have made you a video.
