Official 2018 FootBallPythons.net Fantasy Football League Thread

[Craiga 01453]

First, I'd like to remind everybody that this league is in no way affiliated with BP.net. We are just a group of friends with snakes as a common passion who wanted to have some fun playing Fantasy Football.

Second, THIS THREAD IS NOT FOR LEAGUE PLAYERS ONLY. ANYBODY CAN PARTICIPATE.
Choose your favorite teams, cheer us on! Cheer for the rookies like tttaylorrr and hilabeans!! Talk smack to Ax01 cause his Seahawks stink! Talk trash to me cause, well, Patriots, Tom Brady, blah blah blah...
Anyway, this is all about FUN!!! In today's world of school shootings, opiate epidemics, natural disasters and sad stories plastered all over the media....LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!!!!
We have some fun rules in place that you will all be able to see unfold. For example, the team that scores the highest each week has the opportunity to change the biggest loser's team name!! So whoever scores the least points each week, don't get too comfortable with your team name!!
We've also got some fun side "bets" (no actual gambling is taking place) on the table that may change people's BP.net avatars and signature lines. Like I said, it's all about fun!!!!


So, without further ado...Here are the BP.net members and their team names:

craigafrechette - Green Bowl Packers
Ax01 - Drama Skool
tttaylorrr - Garroppolooza
LadyWhipple - Zeke Squad
Hqballz - Hqballz
PhillyDubs - SerpentQuan Barkley
hilabeans - Angry Krakens
JMarshall - Dallas All Day
Avsha531 - NY Nachash

Week one is officially in the books and the results are in, highlighted by rookie hilabeans and her Angry Krakens defeating veteran and league commissioner craigafrechette's Green Bowl Packers by a narrow margin of 137.94 - 129.14.

In our second matchup NY Nachash put up 136.54 points en route to a victory over PA Trouser Snakes who scored 109.24.

Our third matchup saw the week's high score in a battle between Dallas All Day and Drama Skool (112.34). JMarshall's squad put up 140.42 points to set the bar.

On the opposite side of that coin, our fourth matchup produced our low score for the week. HqBallz scored 123.76 points to defeat Garroppolooza with 97.98 points. Chin up, tttaylorrr, it's only week 1.

Our final pairing of week one pitted SerpentQuan Barkley against Zeke Squad in a battle of stud RB themed team names. SerpentQuan Barkley came out on top with a 127.26 - 99.06 victory.

Stay tuned for League Standings and this week's matchups....

Friendly reminder to league players: the week starts Thursday night with the Bengals playing the Ravens.
So make sure your Thurs night players are in your lineup before kickoff if you want to start them.

BWAHAHAAHA!! Luck nothing! That was artful curation of stats, projections and potential, blended seamlessly with strategic planning around lineups and even weather conditions to draft the most optimal players for a clear advantage. It's checkmate and y'all don't even know it!!!!!

JK...it was beginners luck. I have very little clue what I'm doing.

dang, i shoulda made better moves w/ my bench.

i kno! good job! how 'bout them Cowboys? i lost to Dallas in FootBallPythons.net, but they were a mess in real life NFl lol. also all them new, 1st year coaches went 0-7. SMDH Matt Patricia and Jon Gruden.

hey Craig, are the timelines for things like waivers and trades consistent from here on out? i was sooo confused when i dropped my Carolina defense and couldn't pickup another one immediately. waivers go through on Wedensday and 2 day wait on trades?

anyway's i was talking to my playas. we had a hard time deciding between Maroon 5, Carly Rae Jepsen, Avicii and MEtric but decided to go w/ this for our team song:



also our team mascots:

my strategy was whether or not i've heard of the player, and if they were cute. oh and, like, stats.

[Ax01]

Hey - does the winner this week get a fanny pack?!?!

I managed to figure out how to move someone from my bench to a starting position, but that's as crafty as I've gotten. I still have no idea how to go about dropping or trading.
