Pork butts going on the smoker about 9PM tonight. Will arrive there piping hot tomorrow afternoon. I suggest we chow on some before drafting. We can all challenge Shuke to an eating contest.

Anything I can do on this in advance? I could at least sign us up and pay for it. I would have to pay the new customer price but guessing that's the case for all.Perfect. Let's go with that plan then.I'm fine with hooking up to my tv... if fandraft works on a mac, we could even just connect wirelessly through my apple tv to make it easier for you. I'll do my best to make sure that every seat has a view of the tv

Yeah, you'll need to download and install it. It will take a while to input the teams, so you'll want to draw for the draft position right away.Anything I can do on this in advance?

QB: Peyton Manning, Tony Romo
RB: Ryan Mathews, Rashad Jennings, Carlos Hyde, Chris Ivory
WR: Julio Jones, Jordan Matthews, Golden Tate, Marques Colston, Cecil Shorts, Harry Douglas
TE: Jordan Cameron, Travis Kelce
PK: Nick Novak
TD: Cincinnati Bengals
Overview:
Let us say this as nicely as we can. This team is brutal. It is below average and/or too thin at all three core positions (quarterback, running back and receiver).
To make this team into a serious contender, you are going to need to be extremely active in trades and on the waiver wire. You esentially need to turn over significant parts of this roster. Last year running backs like Knowshon Moreno and Zac Stacy could be had dirt cheap at the draft. Additionally, wide receivers like Julian Edelman and Keenan Allen were available after a lot of the drafts. Quarterbacks like Nick Foles last season, and Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck in 2012 could be had cheap just after draft time. You are likely going to need to land many of this year's top waiver plays to make any significant noise, so pay close attention to increased workloads, targets, injuries, etc.
Players we particularly like on this team include Jordan Matthews, Travis Kelce, Jordan Cameron, Harry Douglas, and the Bengals defense. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.
Bottom line:
With great inseason management, we think you have about a 60 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With good inseason management, we think you have about a 35 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With average inseason management, we think you have a 12 percent chance of making the playoffs.
In any event, we wish you the best of luck. Here's hoping all your weeks are like week 14 of 2013:
Marques Colston vs. CAR: 125 receiving yards, 2 TD
Peyton Manning vs. TEN: 397 passing yards, 4 TD
Ryan Mathews vs. NYG: 135 combined yards, 1 TD
Jordan Cameron vs. NE: 121 receiving yards, 1 TD
RB: Ryan Mathews, Rashad Jennings, Carlos Hyde, Chris Ivory
WR: Julio Jones, Jordan Matthews, Golden Tate, Marques Colston, Cecil Shorts, Harry Douglas

QB: Nick Foles, Alex Smith
RB: LeSean McCoy, Toby Gerhart, Frank Gore, Stevan Ridley, Tre Mason
WR: Antonio Brown, Randall Cobb, Michael Crabtree, DeAndre Hopkins, Josh Gordon
TE: Vernon Davis, Delanie Walker
PK: Adam Vinatieri
TD: St. Louis Rams
Overview:
In a competitive league, almost every team has a weakness. It's almost impossible to build a team that is strong at all three core positions (quarterback, running back and wide receiver). As you probably suspect, we perceive your weakness to be at the quarterback position. Of all the deficiencies to have though, this is usually the easiest one to mask.
Footballguys owner David Dodds even recommends you go into your draft with the goal of landing the top RBs and WRs while waiting to grab QBs late. Value-Based Drafting principles also suggest that teams constructed in this manner end up being strong. But for this team to reach it's full potential, you might need to have a quick trigger finger at the QB position and stay on the look out for good quarterback help. Last year Nick Foles could be had very cheap in August, but ended up contributing to a lot of fantasy championships. In 2012 it was Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck; in 2011 it was Cam Newton. Quarterbacks like these can be found every year, and that could be the key to your team's success.
So although this team isn't perfect (few are), it should still be a strong contender.
Players we particularly like on this team include Stevan Ridley, Toby Gerhart, Delanie Walker, and DeAndre Hopkins. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.
Bottom line:
With great inseason management, we think you have about a 99 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With good inseason management, we think you have about a 90 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With average inseason management, we think you have a 83 percent chance of making the playoffs.
In any event, we wish you the best of luck. Here's hoping all your weeks are like week 11 of 2013:
LeSean McCoy vs. WAS: 150 combined yards, 2 TD
Antonio Brown vs. DET: 147 receiving yards, 2 TD

WR: Julian Edelman, Reggie Wayne, Anquan Boldin, Malcom Floyd, Kenbrell Thompkins, Mohamed Sanu
TE: Julius Thomas
PK: Steve Hauschka
TD: San Francisco 49ers
Overview:
The quarterback position looks good, and we like your overall strength at the tradionally less important positions as well. But it has some serious issues post-draft. Your only real core strength is at quarterback, yet that's often the easiest position to fill during the season. Your weaknesses at both running back and receiver put you in a hole before any games have played. To end up with a team constructed like this, you probably did not get value on some of your selections. The players themselves are not necessarily bad --- you just might have paid more than what they were worth.

With average inseason management, we think you have a 30 percent chance of making the playoffs.
In any event, we wish you the best of luck. Here's hoping all your weeks are like week 1 of 2013:

Overview:
We think you're looking good at quarterback and running back. Your squad is therefore easy for us to like despite a bit of weakness at the receiver position. But as weaknesses go, this is one is survivable. It's usually relatively easy to find fill-in guys on a weekly basis until a better player emerges during the season. As long as you stay on top of things inseason, you should be among the top teams in the league.

WR: Roddy White, Percy Harvin, Eric Decker, Rueben Randle, Kendall Wright
TE: Ladarius Green, Heath Miller
PK: Dan Bailey
TD: Kansas City Chiefs
Overview:
Let's start by remarking that we appreciate your old-school leanings: you have a team marked by strength at the running back position. Because the position is so sought after, a team constructed like this usually has a chance to make the playoffs. But with the quarterback and wide receiver both being less strong, you may need to do something to change the outlook of this team. Your deficiencies are likely to show themselves through the bye weeks, so try to manuever early in improving the quarterback and/or receiver positions before week four.
Keep an eye out for quarterbacks like Nick Foles from last year, Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck from the year before, and Cam Newton the year before that. All were available cheap in August, and all contributed to fantasy championship teams. Similarly, wide receivers like Julian Edelman, Keenan Allen, and Riley Cooper were available after a lot of the drafts last season. Landing some of this year's top waiver players would be a huge help, so pay close attention to increased workloads, targets, injuries, etc.
Players we particularly like on this team include Rueben Randle, Montee Ball, Eric Decker, and Kendall Wright. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.
Bottom line:
With great inseason management, we think you have about a 75 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With good inseason management, we think you have about a 65 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With average inseason management, we think you have a 49 percent chance of making the playoffs.
In any event, we wish you the best of luck. Here's hoping all your weeks are like week 16 of 2013:
Eric Decker vs. HOU: 131 receiving yards, 2 TD
Eddie Lacy vs. PIT: 90 combined yards, 2 TD
Roddy White vs. SF: 141 receiving yards, 1 TD
Ben Roethlisberger vs. GB: 167 passing yards, 3 TD
QB: Matt Ryan, Ben Roethlisberger
RB: Montee Ball, Eddie Lacy, Danny Woodhead, Knile Davis, Christine Michael
WR: Roddy White, Percy Harvin, Eric Decker, Rueben Randle, Kendall Wright
TE: Ladarius Green, Heath Miller
PK: Dan Bailey
TD: Kansas City Chiefs
Overview:
Let's start by remarking that we appreciate your old-school leanings: you have a team marked by strength at the running back position. Because the position is so sought after, a team constructed like this usually has a chance to make the playoffs.

Overview:
Your receivers are the strongest part of this team. It's rare for us to endorse a team with weaknesses at quarterback and running back, but we're doing it right here! You should have a contender here. But your margin for error in terms of inseason management could be a bit thinner than some of your competitors'. You must remain committed to finding 2014's emergent players at RB and QB.

Overview:
You've put together a very interesting team here. Our numbers show it as being below average at all three core positions (QB, RB, and WR). And yet, somehow, we don't hate it. With proper care and feeding throughout the season, this team should be in the thick of things.
But your margin for error is probably slimmer than that of your fellow contenders. You're going to have to be diligent in your search for help through trades and the waiver wire.

Draft Summary
Monkey Spankers was set up perfectly to draft a playoff-caliber team with the third overall pick. Instead of using that to their advantage, however, they chose to go a different route that's geared more towards losing. They're only projected to finish 12th in FBG of Cincinnati League with a mark of 1-13-0 (1,520 points). They focused on having a balanced offensive attack, selecting QB Aaron Rodgers (22nd overall), RB Giovani Bernard (3rd), WR Julian Edelman (46th), and TE Julius Thomas (27th) within the first five rounds. They ended up with the lowest-scoring group of WRs in the league, as they have Edelman, Reggie Wayne, Anquan Boldin, and Malcom Floyd on their team.
Brutal draft. Still, you should nominate yourself for the Toyota Hall Of Fame. That way, your players will have to live up to the pressure.
Schedule
Week 10 is not looking like a fun one for fantasy football. Monkey Spankers should look into the joys of scrapbooking, or bird-watching, or just keep Monkey Spankers away from the TV. It won't be pretty. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the season as a whole, they have the most difficult schedule. Monkey Spankers could run into an early buzz saw, as the first four games of their season are projected to be more difficult than the league average.

Lol at the "It's rare for us to endorse a team with weaknesses at rb and qb" being applied to 4 different teams.
