I'm in

Glad to hear it. 

 

 

I’ll finish up all the fine-tuned rules during this preseason. 

The custom scoring is about done, I’ve been tweaking it every night and going back to look at how the tweaks change last years points leaders.

 I’m struggling to find a way to incorporate DBs fairly because they’re impossible in fantasy due to stats meaning almost nothing to the position as far as grading performances go.

but if nothing else, the top end DL and LBers are matching up point-wise to the top end QBs, WRs and RBs (with the current scoring I’ve worked out, Aaron Donald scored slightly more points than Mahomes this year. Guys  like JJ Watt, Kuechly, Bobby Wagner, Fletcher Cox and Danielle Hunter are all scoring similarly to guys Brees, Kamara, Thomas ETC on that side of the ball) so if nothing else defensive players will actually mean something in this league. 

Before the tweaks you had Aaron Donald worth like half the points Mahomes was, and that ain’t cool

I think I’m gonna bump all-pro selections to a 4 year ban and pro-bowl to a 2 year ban.

Hoping to have 125-150 players ineligible each season.  A handful more would be added with this adjustment.

I did this... added 4 years for an All-Pro Naming and 2 Year for a pro bowl.

the list is much more..... comprehensive. I like this better, it added some big names the original scan missed.

Messing with the ineligibility criteria...  getting to the stage where I'd like other peoples input, cause I can go many ways with this. Once I have this stuff finalized I can really start pumping this GM league as more than an idea. I think that will help people get more interested.

Also if any of you are either still wavering on the idea or firm commits, knowing that would help me out.

I think I like performance based ineligibility better than award based, more uniform and not subjective.

 

I'm just not sure how to carry it over for injury/suspension years. (IE if Saquon Barkley gets hurt and doesn't hit the marks for ineligibility this year, he shouldn't be made available next season because of that... everyone knows how good he is)

 

 

The whole point of this league is to look deeper than known commodities in the NFL, so with the following criteria (if a player meets any of the criteria they're ineligible):

QB - Top 10 Attempts, Yards, Pass TD, Rating (Minimum 224 passing attempts per PFR)
RB - Top 15 Attempts, Scrim Yards, Rush TD
WR - Top 20 Catches, Rec Yards, Rec TD
TE - Top 10 Catches, Rec Yards, Rec TD

The following players would be eliminated. It's a rather big list, but that was kind of what I was envisioning anyways. 

 

Aaron Rodgers Aaron Jones Adam Humphries Austin Hooper
Andrew Luck Adrian Peterson Adam Thielen Cameron Brate
Baker Mayfield Alex Collins Alshon Jeffery David Njoku
Ben Roethlisberger Alvin Kamara Amari Cooper Eric Ebron
Cam Newton Chris Carson Anthony Miller George Kittle
Carson Wentz Christian McCaffrey Antonio Brown Jared Cook
Case Keenum David Johnson Brandin Cooks Jimmy Graham
Dak Prescott Derrick Henry Calvin Ridley Kyle Rudolph
Derek Carr Ezekiel Elliott Chris Godwin O.J. Howard
Deshaun Watson Isaiah Crowell Davante Adams Rob Gronkowski
Drew Brees James Conner DeAndre Hopkins Travis Kelce
Eli Manning Joe Mixon Emmanuel Sanders Trey Burton
Jared Goff Jordan Howard Jarvis Landry Zach Ertz
Kirk Cousins Kareem Hunt John Ross  
Matt Ryan Lamar Miller JuJu Smith-Schuster  
Matthew Stafford Latavius Murray Julian Edelman  
Mitchell Trubisky Mark Ingram Julio Jones  
Patrick Mahomes Marlon Mack Keenan Allen  
Philip Rivers Melvin Gordon Michael Thomas  
Russell Wilson Nick Chubb Mike Evans  
Ryan Fitzpatrick Peyton Barber Mike Williams  
Tom Brady Phillip Lindsay Odell Beckham  
  Saquon Barkley Robert Woods  
  Sony Michel Stefon Diggs  
  Todd Gurley Sterling Shepard  
    T.Y. Hilton  
    Tyler Boyd  
    Tyreek Hill  
    Zay Jones  

 

 

 

Another thing.... in the spirit of making this more of a GM/Scouting league that uses fantasy scoring as opposed to an outright fantasy league, and in the spirit of all the fringe level players in this league what do you all feel about a "Practice Squad" scoring system where all Offensive/Defensive positions are superflex (qb/rb/wr/te) and you just get the best X performers on offense and defense rather than based on position? It'll make the lack of starting players (mainly QBs) in this league less of an issue. If all the good QBs are gone, you can just have another RB/WR/TE instead, like a practice squad.

 

Thoughts, questions, comments, concerns?

I'm ok with stats.  I think you may need to tweak it a little.   Going off of the above you have eliminated 20+ QBs.  That doesn't leave a lot o meat on the bone.

That's kind of the intention.

Looking at some player scores @Bigbear72 the lack of QBs will only be an issue if we go with a standard lineup.

 

if people like the “practice squad” lineup then people lacking in QBs can load up at other positions instead, if not I’ll tone down everything just a little. Depends how “developmental” people want to go with this league

If we get this going and people don’t like it we can always switch to an offense only league. 

I just don’t like the idea of defensive squads in a league meant for individual scouting/team building

My main league is IDP and once you understand what you are looking for it definitely adds a layer of strategy and depth to drafting especially if defensive players have true scoring value.
