We do mine through Sleeper.

Me and the other co-commish use a google doc to track salaries. all other trading and such is done through the app.

Its a lot of work for the commissioners.

We started on MFL, but that platform was awful and it cost money to use the site so we switched.

Cool, I already run a dynasty through sleeper so maybe I'll pitch it to the league to change it up, we're year 4 so it's kinda getting stale.

IM probably dropping all but one other league and this one.

One just random re-draft league that i do for fun and this.

this is a full time gig.



I acquired Diggs and McCaffery this year during the offseason and subsequently traded them away a few weeks later.

Yea. The amount of trades and moves that are made on a weekly basis during the offseason makes it a very fun league.

It was mid July and McCAffery, DK Metcalk, Pat Mahomes, Diggs, Najee Harris, Kyler Murray, etc were being traded left and right for people to move salary around.

We have RFA auctions where if you lose a designated guy to another team you get a pick back, IR cap hits, buyout cap hits, release cap hits, etc etc.

If you have any questions on how we handle certain things, let me know and I can send you over some stuff.

Yup that is what my league uses. The app / website is a little weird. But overall works fine

Yeah, we had a rookie draft and auction type free agency with contracts.

Draft picks actually have value. Teams with cap space can use it as an advantage.

Henry. Maholmes Keenan allen Taylor all moved and a bunch of other trades.

It’s the closest fantasy football GM like experience you can have

If Ryan O'Reilly makes it to free agency, this board will explode when the Sabres sign him as a UFA.

That doesn't look like a bad hit if he doesn't leave his feet.

It’s really a 4 year deal as the last three are void years with no guaranteed money.

Just saying.

Why the (frank) did he jump? Just lean into the guy's chest. you have him lined up great.

The other guy stopped right as he was about to hit him. If the other guy had just kept moving forward he never would've "jumped"

Yeah, it sucks to have to keep waiting, but we are lined up perfectly to peak when toronto probably blows it up, boston is extremely aged out, and tampa is starting to age out. Florida will be the mainstay, and ottawa/detroit will be the other teams we're competing with.

if taylor goes 1 I am torn between henry and ekeler as I do not want to get on the mccaffrey train again, although it paid off huge for me before he was hurt

if andrews is there at 23 I will probably go andrews and lamar in the 4th if he is there

I think I will go allen at 23 otherwise if I can and grab davis and knox in the 4th and 6th round

I really hate the rb's left at 23 assuming kamara is gone and i do not see much difference between evans, or allen or pittman in that 23 or 26 spot vs picking the right guy later d. johnson, dk, sutton or cooks

- homiedclown

Completely agree with all of this. Good with whatever wr #1 leaves me with in rd 3 and think Henry or Ekeler will be good choices with your first pick. Later round wr’s I’m liking are Olave and Hardman. Sky Moore might be the receiver to have in KC, but Hardman seems like a replica of Hill to me and think he’ll get more opportunity now. Good luck!

I don't think it will be that long as long as some of this core keeps growing and developing. It's a big season for this Team and Adams they will have to make decisions on some of these young guys quickly because there are so many about to come through.

Wow..... first they give up a TON for a guy on the wrong side of 30 and now this? Then again, we wandered the desert for 20 years looking for a qb - I may have done the same in their situation.
- Slump Buster


The Broncos were obviously going to give him a big extension
Would’ve made no sense to give up a “TON” for him for just ONE season

when it was all said and done

"the Buffalo Bills traded No. 1 wide receiver Sammy Watkins, starting left tackle Cordy Glenn and six draft picks to move into position to select quarterback Josh Allen out of Wyoming with the seventh overall pick of the 2018 NFL draft."

https://buffalonews.com/s...eb-9bf7-ef9be770a15f.html

we paid for more an unknown then the broncos did for a super bowl winning pro bowl qb

faint lost the starting job, lock is a bust and the DE the hawks got is an old rotational DE

Me saying the Broncos gave up a “TON” for him was just a reference to Slump Buster saying it

- Slump Buster

But that wasn’t really my point

It was that of course the Broncos were gonna extend Wilson
Otherwise it would’ve made zero sense to trade for him

Elway sucks at drafting QBs. So they went with a sure thing. I’m fine with what they offered
