Championship Bracket

Sack Pack Vs Chap7


Toilet Bowl Bracket

Beags Vs Pelikens


This match is for 3rd and 4th place

Doom Vs Bigfrank

something is not right Jimmy did great and he did win this past weekend even though I beat him the week before he had one of the top records. Should he not be in 3rd or 4th place right now?

You knocked PPE out of the Championship Bracket in the 1st round of the playoffs. It is one and done in the playoffs.

If we can in week 17 I want to go head to head with my little guy.

OH and BTW there was a poll at the start about which one, me or my son had the better draft, Well we ended up with the same record but I was a head on points and made the play offs and can end up in 3rd or 4th.

Thanks for running the league. It was my first time with Fantasy Football and it certainly made watching the games more interesting. It's weird what you end up having to root for. I had a good run but my Giants players just didn't have it for me yestersday. Congratulations to Walt and Ken!

What do you think of using a Keeper League for next year. Your thoughts.


A keeper league is sort of a combination between a standard draft league and a dynasty league. Each preseason, most of the players are drafted, however, owners are allowed to keep a predetermined number of players on their roster from the year before. Most league rules allow only a handful of players to be retained by each team from year to year.

Roster size : 16 players. No injured reserved. There are no roster restrictions except that you must draft enough players at each position to field a starting lineup on opening day. With a roster size of 16, it is expected that 1 or 2 young players will be included on each team's roster during the season to develop into keepers.

Each team can keep from 0 to 2 players. The first year, it's possibly that because of poor drafting or poor team management, a team may not have any players they wish to keep.

Any players drafted in rounds 1 - 3 of the previous year cannot be keepers.

Players can be kept a maximum of 3 times. For example, you can draft a player in 2001, and then keep them for the next 3 years: 2002, 2003, 2004. In 2005, this player must go back into the draft pool of players.

For each player you keep, you must give up a draft pick 2 rounds higher than the player's draft position the year before.
If you keep an undrafted players (UDP) from the previous year, you must give up your 12th round pick. Players that were drafted and then cut still maintain their draft status. (01/10/2002)

Example 1 : You draft Thomas Jones RB Arizona in round 9 in 2001. He becomes the starter and you decide he's one of your keepers. In 2002, you must give up your 7th round draft pick (he becomes effectively your 7th round pick) to keep him. In 2003, he becomes your 5th round choice, and if you keep him for a third year, you must give up your 3rd round pick in 2004.

Example 2 : You draft S. Morris, WR KCC in round 5 in 2001. You decide to keep him. In 2002, he becomes your 3rd round draft pick (you give up a 3rd rounder). In 2003, because his draft status was round 3 in the previous year, he is no longer eligible for keeper status and is returned to the draft pool.


If you do not have a draft pick for the correct round to give up to keep a player, you must give up the next higher draft pick. This can happened if you trade away a draft pick during pre-season or have 2 keepers that have the same draft status from the previous year.
Example 1 : You decide to keep your draft pick in round 14 from the previous year and you also want to keep an UnDrafted Player (UDP). Both require that you give up your 12th round draft pick. Since you only have one 12th round selection, to keep both players, you must give up picks for rounds 11 and 12.

Example 2 : You want to keep a player you drafted in the 5th round last year. You also traded away your 3rd round pick during pre-season. To keep last year's 5th round pick, you must give up your 3rd round pick this year. Since you have no 3rd round selection, to keep this player, you must give up your 2nd pick.


When the draft is complete, the draft position the player ends up at will determine next year's draft position status.
For Example : You have 2 undrafted players (UDPs) you want to keep. Based on the rule above, you will have to give up a 12th and an 11th round pick to keep each. If the draft completes with your 2nd keeper being your 11th round draft pick, and you decide to keep that same player next year, you will have to give up a 9th round pick to keep that player the following year.

Thanks Mike for running the league again this year.

I agree with Craig that playing FF makes watching the games much more interesting.

I thought I blew it when I played Jamaal Charles (12.4 points) instead of Jonathan Stewart (28.2 points). I really thought that the Giants would not only beat the Panthers, but beat them by a big score. So I played Charles.

And with DeSean Jackson getting a quick 9.3 points, I thought Jackson was going to have another 20 plus game to give you the win.

And then, Ahman Green and Brandon Jackson taking 3 rushing TD's away from Ryan Grant didn't help me.

But better than winning the FF League was the fact that the Packers made the playoffs yesterday.

That seems like more involved than I'd like to be.

Any thoughts on a playoff Fantasy Football League? I don't know exactly how they work or what websites host them but I think that there are free ones out there. I think that you draft your players just like we did but once they are eliminated from the playoffs that's it. The idea is to pick players that are going to earn you points but whose teams are also going to advance.

Yes Walt it was an interesting final. I was at a friends watching the Giants but wasn't able to check the computer. I assumed that I was getting blown out until I got home and it was only 100-95. I still had DeSean Jackson going so I still had a shot.

I really thought that I was in a good position going in with all those Giants and I was surprised and happy to see that you didn't play Jonathan Stewart with DeAngelo Williams out. I had DeAngelo and would have definitely been playing him over Bradshaw. Also, I was lucky to be able to pick up the Falcons defense on waivers and I don't know if you realized it but I grabbed a few kickers when I saw that you needed one. Oh well. Congratulations once again!

Congrats to you both and congrats to Dan for getting a win


Mike I hate that this is over, I think I have said this in the last few years, Why does it have to end so soon, Why can't we go right to the end of the season then do the play offs with what ever players are still in it. Our champion can be who ever comes in first at the end of the season or after the play offs. We can go right to the very end this way.

I saw it and in fact you took Jeff Reed from me. I did pick up Mike Wallace as my first pick on the wavier list. I first picked up Rian Lindell as my kicker. But then picked up Mike Nugent. But I really didn't know if he was going to kick for rhe Cards. But then was able to pick up Shaun Suisha when he was picked up as the Dallas kicker.
