Commissioner Tue Aug 6 6:21pm ET

16 Days Till Draft! Seeing some moves happening. I was asked a question that i need to clarify; once we have our cut downs, Aug 15th 7:30 p.m., trades can still happen and a team could theoretically go into draft with more then 10 players, i.e. someone trades a pick for a player; Just wasn't sure everyone knew that......

Please try to pay your fees before draft day; zelle me to my cell.

I will set up a zoom for our draft and post the link here on the site, hope everyone can at least pop in so we can try to get everyone acquainted if they aren't already.

Getting Amped!

Cheers Gand,

Draft picks

DonkeyPox Mon Jul 29 9:38pm ET
i think 10 is the best bet for a stable league. if we go to 12, need to have a backup plan for someone leaving the league with a bad team and no picks.
Predators Mon Jul 29 9:13pm ET

Really great input from everyone. Gotta vote to keep at 10 as well.

I prefer to stay at ten. And I’m saying that as someone who has painfully had to cut guys I like in these leagues. But when you have too many keepers it basically makes the draft only rookies. And in a league like that bad teams stay bad for a long time unless they get lucky

If we did expand keepers I’d like to decrease bench spots. That way people have some hard decisions during the season and there are actually good players on waivers.

Jumbo Mon Jul 29 7:14pm ET
I’m ok with 10. Jumbo.
I am Nimrod Mon Jul 29 2:34pm ET
I do believe a rule change like 10 to 12 keepers needs to be made with way more notice. I’ll be honest. I am
Not a fan of more than ten. But would be open to it, especially if we open the number up to position limits. If we have 12 keepers. We need to address the limit on positions as well.
Cobras Mon Jul 29 12:26pm ET

Hi Mark,

In support of expanding to 12 keepers, I want to add:

  1. I don't believe it's too late to make the change. Only one team has cut down to 10 players and 2 of his cuts could easily be reinstated to his roster (if he elects to do so).
  2. I agree the two added keepers cuts down on the free agent pool however, we are only a 12 team league so the worst case scenario is an impact of 24 FA's taken out of the pool (of which most are support/backup/developing players).
  3. Although we are a hybrid league, we are also a Superflex league with a high scoring ceiling for QB's. Therefore all starting QB's and some backup/potential starting QB's are rostered and occupy on average 3 - 4 keeper slots per team.  I believe the weighting distribution for the QB position is too high under the current system and adding 2 keeper slots will give us more flexibility to hold on to key players in all of the other starting positions and/or allow for retaining players we believe are 1 - 2 seasons away from becoming a #1 position ranked player.

That's my take. Thanks!

Hey Art,

Interesting this is coming back up; in the pic below, you can see that originally, we discussed having 12 keepers, but decided in the kick off call to move to 10. Remember, this is a Hybrid Keeper/Dynasty league, not a true dynasty league. Keeping 12 player does dilute the free agency pool for draft.

I believe it is too late to make that kind of change now with all of the trades and draft pick maneuvering; i am open to hearing from everyone on your thoughts. 

Cheers Gang,

Commish

Cobras Sun Jul 28 11:32pm ET
How about expanding keepers to 12? I think that is one needed rule change. Keeping only 10 players leaves almost no room to build a dynasty team when you must start 9.
Commissioner Sun Jul 28 11:15am ET

Hey Gang,

Training camp in full swing, man, i can't wait for those first games! I haven't heard of any issues going into this year with our rules, so i am assuming we are good for this next year. I've also received payment from only 3 folks so far; please be paid up by draft day. You can Zelle me at my cell phone number: 512-680-3348

Cut down day is Aug 15th by 7:30 p.m. I expect the trade mill should heat up these next couple weeks if any one is still looking into one.

Our draft is set for Aug 22nd 7:30 p.m. on RTS - i will also have a zoom open during the draft and encourage you all to call in so that we can start getting names and faces out there for those folks that have never met before.

If you all would like to have a pre-draft zoom, please post and i can set something up in the next week or so.

Looking forward to the season gang.....

Cheers,

Commish

If you're serious, lemme know....

cheers

One week away from seeing the #1 pick in action. I’m open to offers for it!!!!!!

Just reading this Mark. I'm ok with everything. Ready for Aug 22nd.
Commissioner Wed Jul 10 11:58am ET

Hey DonnyBrookers!

Sorry, I've been a bit remiss on staying in touch and updating everyone about our upcoming annual obsession, the 2024 YODFL Season... It's been a helluva year.

I hope everyone is staying up to date on all of the NFL activity since the Superbowl; I know I've done over 100 Best Ball drafts....so me thinks I'm ready....🤓

Just a a little admin stuff:

  • Draft Day 2024 is Aug 22nd at 7:30 p.m. -  We will rung the draft on this website, you can access the draft board by going to the draft room and selecting the board icon.  
  • Cut Down Day is Aug 15th by 7:30 p.m. - All teams must be down to 10 players (including players you may still have on IR). I will be hounding everyone to get this done.....decisions, decisions.
  • Annual Fee is $100; you can Zelle me anytime. See Fee chart and 2024 Payouts below.
  •  

 

Does anyone have any questions? Any recommendations for improving the league? Is anyone thinking they may not be able to participate this year? If so, let me know ASAP!

We could set up a pre-draft Zoom if anyone thinks we need one.......otherwise, hope you all are ready to roll....my team has vowed to stay healthy this year....so watch out! 🤑

Cheers Gang,

Sounds good to me
Commissioner Mon Jul 1 12:48pm ET

Hi John,

Thanks for reminding me; we had discussed last year that most folks thought the cut date was too early and would like to see us have a later cut down date. With that in mind, I'm proposing we do the cut down one week prior to the draft on Aug 22nd; so cut down date would be Aug 15th by 7:30 p.m.

What are everyone's thoughts? 

Cheers All,

Commish

Hey Gang,

Sorry, lots going on this year....slipping on my commissioner duties.....I'm lookin to move our draft date to Thurs Aug 22nd at 7:00pm CST. Let me know if any of you have conflicts and we can try to move around (unfortunately, i had a business trip come up for Aug 28th so need to realign).

Really looking forward to the season all

One old RB for a younger WR with talent but constant work ethic issues. Seem pretty equal to me
Predators Tue Mar 19 10:30am ET

Conner/Brown trade, oh man good one. A trade that makes sense…I’m 100% sure there was no unfair counter offer that took place. A trade that was well thought out and made both Jumbo and Brawno better. Is it time to draft yet?

Jedi

Predators Tue Mar 12 5:51pm ET

Age old debate. Is it really age? Or is it carries? Jedi
