Excellent, I'm in then.

Sweet! We're full!

DonTadow, Seonaid, if you have any questions, post here. All you need to do before the draft is set your pre-draft rankings so you have a shot of getting the players you want.

 

[Seonaid]

Bring it.

(Done and done. Thanks!)

All right we got 12! Please start pre-ranking. I'll flip the switch to ready on Sunday, Sept 4, 12.01 AM PST. You might have some time still to pre-rank, but it'll go into the drafting queue and Yahoo might draft anytime it wants.

AND PLEASE, don't abandon your teams mid-season.. or early season. Stick with it!

Sweet, this is my first time. What do you mean by pre-ranking or is it that something already explained somewhere in yahoo.

The draft will be done by Yahoo. All the NFL players are ranked by how many fantasy points they scored last year. All of us are randomly ordered in the draft. When your turn comes up, you get the top ranked player at a position you haven't filled yet (everyone gets 2 QBs, X number or RBs, etc). Pre-ranking is how you change the rankings from Yahoo's default. Then, when your turn in the draft comes up, you get the top ranked player in YOUR list, not Yahoos.

Some folks like to push all the running backs up in the rankings, since RBs tend to get you more points more often. It's sometimes better to have the 2nd best RB instead of the best WR. The way we usually play QBs are usually your biggest scorer unless you have one of the top 2 or three RBs. There are other strategies as well. I've pushed Fred Taylor down the rankings every year since he was hurt so much. But he's put together a couple of good years, so I probably won't do that again.

I'm psyched. I love football.

I have tons of questions, but most of them will be sorted out either during the season or by reading the FAQs, so I'll hold off.

As far as points go, how do quarterbacks work. Do they get poitns for what they scored by running?

Yep. If a QB rushes for a touchdown, you get 6 pts. If he throws a TD, you also get 6 pts. If he pulls a Steve Young and catches his own pass for a TD, you're in the money!

Don't let this tempt you to take Mike Vick. He's not a great fantasy QB. He'll give you 25 pts one week, then 2 pts the next two weeks. YMMV, though.

Where do I find my pre-rank list?
