RJ Highball Draft Commentary

[onejayhawk]

I know we all like to think of ourselves as fantasy sports alpha dogs around here, but if we remind ourselves that first place isn't the only thing that matters in a fantasy league, maybe a year here or there with a runaway winner doesn't have to dispirit us as a league. Even if Simon does wire-to-wire us, which isn't a foregone conclusion this early in the season by any means, there's still plenty of competition in the standings.

He cannot go wire to wire. He did not lead from day 1, or even week 1.

Riff Raff may not have been first out the gate, but he's first to obtain a lead worth mentioning. I think the battle for 1st place is likely over, but I agree with B-Fly, there's more to fantasy than finishing in 1st place. My goal is always to pass the team in front of me, and I don't stop trying until the last day of the season. My vote is to keep this format in the future. It's a fun league with a great group of competitors, and a large lead this early in the season is more likely an anomaly and not the norm; it happens.

[OaklandA's]

I prefer this roto format too. Even if Riff Raff runs away with it, I'd like to keep the same structure next year.

I could not believe the lead Simon amassed the other night: 92-70.5 = 21.5 points = 24.4% of the range. I have never seen that. It fell at the 1/4 point in the season.

In other news, Bian, Amit and I were all at 44.8% on FG%. Cool. If we're even, I'm leavin'.

Phhhhhttttt, I gave you a very good offer in the RJEL and you didn't accept.

That said, I should probably start looking towards next year and potential keepers...send any and all offers my way.

[B-Fly]

Somebody remind me what we decided on prize money distribution. Is it only for first place?

[Riff Raff]

Anyone recall what the payout breakdown is? I don't recall ...

Congrats to the winners. Ryno walked away with the league winning $98.

BBJ leaves us winning $42.

JimBob picks up 3rd with beer money $20.

Emails should have been sent from leaguesafe.

[Piney Boy]

Payout will be $20 3rd place.....1st get 70% and 2nd gets 30% of the rest.

[B-Fly]

Cool, thanks guys. So I guess I am still in the money hunt this year.

[Piney Boy]

joncarlos is looking to get into the league which will at this time expand us back to 12. We need to come up with way for him to get keepers for next year. Post your ways we can do this so we can be ready for next year.

[Riff Raff]

Not ideal but he could pick any 2 guys from our rosters (all 11) we do not plan to keep.

Simple enough and I have no issue with it.

[Ryno84MVP]

I see that Judex's Jumpers picked up Rajon Rondo...why?

He was a 3rd round pick, so he's not a keeper for next year and he won't return this year.
