First off, I don't see why you have to give everyone a cheatsheet. However, if you do, please feel free to PM me and I'll e-mail you the one I'm going to hand out to everyone at my draft. It's from a 1998 Fantasy Football Magazine. I like to try and help the boys out, if I can.

Okay, you have my attention.Why are you supposed to do this?

 

[RenegadeGM]

Why not just either create a realistic looking FF logo or "borrow" one from the web, and use a spreadsheet to create some custom-made horrible rankings? Print out, photocopy, and there ya go. Toss in a few decent/expected rankings to keep things looking good (Manning as #1 QB, etc.).

I guess I just don't understand why it is on you to help these guys.

I'm in one of these leagues...several owners who really don't care, but play for the social aspect of the game.

Every year, we share the sportsline rankings with them. They are pretty bad. That league is hosted at sportsline though, so I'm not sure the info is available to everyone.

Plenty of on-line cheats that are free - Yahoo comes to mind...

 

[Riffraff]

Can just use a fbg one from May or the magazine.

Just as good/bad as any other outdated cheetsheet.

Why search when you are already here?

[Courtjester]

I always buy at least one magazine each year just for reading material and I put them out for the other owners at the following year's draft

back at ya'... FF is competitive dude!

I'm curious, FBG staff. How many major / semi-major FF sites are out there you think? You know, that would be listed in link collections fairly frequently that they'd look semi-reputable enough? One thing I frequently do with owners in my main money (read cuthroat) league is use information to sway them one way or another in trades. If there were 100 or so websites that I was talking about I wouldn't feel guilty quoting from one of the bottom 5 to swing a deal in my favor. For instance, we had a relative fantasy virgin take over one of the teams in the league when an owner left. Last year, when Santana Moss had that huge game early in the season that was really made up of two huge touchdown catches in the last 5 min or so of the game to help the Redskins to an unbelievable win I noticed on our host site, CBS Sportsline, that they remarked he was really lucky to get those catches and not to expect it to happen again. Basically, I read it and thought if the newbie read it he might think he had a classic "sell high" prospect he needed to unload in a hurry. Then I sweet talked him into thinking Brandon Loyd was the second coming of Fred Biletnikoff. I even threw in a line how he had an unbelievable future (it's a large keeper, semi dynasty league) because he had a "future franchise - HOF QB" who would be delivering him the ball for the next 8 years, Alex Smith, the #1 pick in the draft. Whereas Santana Moss had a dinosaur in Mark Brunell.

If I could please have your bottom 5 websites to refer competition to please

Thats what I do. I dont want to give someone who didnt prepare anything to help them against those who make the effort, but I dont attempt to deceive, either.

I do the same thing. What do you use as your source material? I'm looking for an easier way... Thanks.

 

[LordHusker]

Thanks. What a bunch of scared little Nellies. Seriously, "competitive" or not, I'm not going to purposely sabotage co-owners in a league I'm hoping to enjoy --- not to mention help thrive for the future, if I can make that happen.

 

[MaxMan42]

This is ridiculous. why would anyone want to be in a league where owners dont care or prepare for their own draft?

That's what I'd say. If your bylaws state the list you provide has to be ranked, do it based on last years stats sorted by TDs with 'prominent rookies' at the bottom of the lst.

TE Rankings

1.) Alex Smith, SF

QB Rankings

1.) Alex Smith, TB

(Sorry about that one, SF's Smith is probably worse.)

WRs

1.) Roy Williams, Dal

 

[Sid]

Why not just print out a spreadsheet with depth charts for them?

I've found temptation to do similar things, but aren't you kinda playing with fire there? I mean, you have to deal with a lot of politicking and memories tend to run long in keeper leagues. Unless this rookie owner bails, you might have him stonewalling you for years in future trades...though I suppose if your "sell" of Lloyd is done earnestly enough, the suspicions of foul play will subside...

I used the free VBD Excel sheet from Footballguys. I went to each position tab and copied and pasted the first three columns on a new page. It took about five minutes, but the cheatsheet is easy to read, has everyone, and is in alphabetical order.
