RBF League 2026 - Draft Tonight!

PIP said:
No it was a serious question...Played in a couple leagues where you set your roster for the week by a certain day and you couldn't revise it...

So your strategy was based upon putting the best team together based on talent, matchups, games played that week per player without having the ability to alter your roster...

You can alter anytime, or add FA's to supplement the roster. But, if you just want to keep it simple and not worry about checking in, just set it on Monday morning for the week and go about your biz. This at least alleviates any teams remaining dormant (some team owners tend to not check in and leave lineups static, creating an easy win for their opponent and screwing up the integrity of the league).

So, it gives you a fighters chance to win with a once a week log in. And if you want to gauge progress throughout the week, maybe log in once every so often in case an Injury occurs or you want to shuffle the deck.

That "set the lineup for the week" is a newer feature - I think implemented 2 years ago. Prior, you had to go in daily, or at least toggle thru each day and manually configure the lineup. Nowadays, it is literally one button to push - set it and forget it. Still, you'll want to optimize players on days when every team plays, which you can do on Monday (for instance) by toggling through each day. This takes seconds, as most days you'll only have 3 - 7 players playing, which the auto-set will capture.

I hope that jibberish makes sense, as I'm typing amongst work and am not proofreading this shit.
 
I'm subscribing to Field Yates this evening...

Hello Jim Nantz's friends.

Apologies that I said I'd do this over the weekend. As it turned out, I had to scramble to make an offer on a house that I'm completely certain my family will lose out on in a bidding war.

I'll take it on tomorrow night.
 
I'm just looking forward to the draft lottery.
 
 
I think I'm out.

Nobody does any bets or partakes in the humiliations of losing in the championship anymore. Smack talk is barely a whimper. The allure of participating is gone.

It's now a boring free league. Sorry, you all turned lame.
 
Hey I'm going to contact CCF and ask him to step in this week. I've been swamped. This is time sensitive. Sorry fellas!
 
Gents - got keys message just now, as I was in Columbus with fam over the weekend for my mom's 80th bday (Aug 31) - so got back late last night, and had not logged in here all weekend.

I'll get this going soon.

You sure you want to bounce Hurl? I do get it - this league has been going a long time and we are all getting older, so our propensity to talk shit has diminished with the busyness that is life. I am receptive to making this a pay league - even as low as $25. I'm in another with high school / college friends that is $50 and has weekly payouts for high scoring, etc. Can try to implement something like that to raise interest in setting lineups and being active. Easy to pay with venmo and other options.

How about a roll call first - I'll tag last year's teams after a morning meeting I have that begins in 30.
 
Hurl just wants a money incentive cause he's been chirping about other leagues-- so he's all in on Fantasy Football-- but maybe this one is perhaps not for him...I would see if someone else wants in first then alter it???

I'm cool with a pay league but there's others who have been apart of it for awhile and are not and have echoed as much in the past just due to their situation...

So I'm fine with a non pay league anyways cause it's just a fun league and the incentive is to win the RCF crown.... In my case it's to go back to back (again)...
 
Getting around to this - I set Keeper status to Saturday, so I believe that means you need to submit those by then.

I also set the draft for Monday night, Sept 7 (Labor Day) 8:30 EST / 7:30 CST.

For Keeper selection, go to your team and select Keepers on the drop down list.

Not sure if @Randolphkeys has time to perform a live draft order selection show with his kiddos and fish, but understand if not. If thats the case, I'll just allow Yahoo to autopick the draft order.

Here is last seasons draft results, as that'll impact what round you lose a pick in:

Come to think of it, are we all cool with Keepers, or should we reset and just draft without any Keepers?

My Keepers:

Sam Darnold: FA acquisition last year
Trey McBride: 14th round, pick 158

So I guess that means I get no last pick, nor a 13th pick???
 
Check in, @Jack Brickman @Otsego Mar @PIP @Surge @Hurl Bruce @Soda @Deezus @Cavsfan1985 @Tonedef75

Seems Hurl might be out, and I know Pip is around. Others good to go? There are a few other teams whom I an unsure who the owner is. Here is the link to the league in the case you're unsure:
