Anyone Play Fantasy Football? (American)

[buster]

NFL starts today and Fantasy football has been growing over the last few years. Wondering if anyone here plays in any fantasy football leagues or if anyone watches football or if anyone plays in the fanduels and or draft king week to week matchups?

Anyways tell me about your team if you play.

I got into Fantasy Football about five years back and love it -- a beautiful mixture of stats & sports

I only play in one league which is a crazy PPR type scoring system,

1xQB (2 max)
2xRB (3 max)
3xWR/TE (5 max)
1xDEF (2 max)
1xPK (2 max)

2xTaxi Squad (will be drafted this Wednesday)

Palmer, Carson ARI QB
Tannehill, Ryan MIA QB

Forte, Matt CHI RB
Hyde, Carlos SFO RB
Spiller, C.J. NOS RB

Decker, Eric NYJ WR
Edelman, Julian NEP WR
Jackson, Vincent TBB WR
Landry, Jarvis MIA WR
Thomas, Demaryius DEN WR

Barth, Connor FA* PK
Catanzaro, Chandler ARI PK

Giants, New York NYG Def
Jets, New York NYJ Def

Looking forward to Waiver Wire this Week, first one of the season is always the juiciest. I won this week's matchup too (without Carlos Hyde even playing yet, hah!). How did you team fare?

We've got a similar game here: "Cartola FC" (but it's Brazilian football/soccer) :smile:

We got into it about the same time. I played a few redraft leagues then decided to start a Dynasty league.

It's a 12 team PPR, 18 man roster, start a QB, 2xRB 2xWR, TE, flex, def, kicker. We choose 10 keepers from our 18 man roster each year, they count as our first 10 picks no matter where you drafted them.

My teams pretty damn good. I got 1st last season.
Qb: Eli Manning, Cam Newton

RB: Jeremy Hill, Bishop Sankey, Amer Abdullah, Giovani Bernard, Duke Johnson, David Cobb(ir) and Cameron Artis-Payne

WR: Julio Jones, Odell Beckham Jr., Mike Evans, DeAndre Hopkins,

TE: Tyler Eifert, Julias Thomas(ir)

Kicker and Def I change up from week to week. I scored 169 points this week.

Anyways your team is sick. Hyde looks like a beast. Forte is very underatted, spiller did well right?

We'll see how some of these injuries pan out. All in all super fun week 1. Very excited it's back.

If you haven't already done it check out the /fantasyfootball subreddit. Whole lot of fun on there, and a lot of great info.

I've been thinking about getting into Dynasty League for awhile now... let me know if there are any openings next year, I might be interested if so ;-)

Your team looks awesome, jealous that you've got Julio Jones. My predraft research suggested he was too risky to grab in the 1st round but now I'm starting to second guess myself (picked DT instead). Risk == Reward I guess, he put up some big numbers in Week 1. Nice pickup on Tyler Eifert, he had a great week as well.

Really excited about Hyde, especially in the short-term with Reggie Bush being out of the picture. Forte should definitely be a focal point this year as well. CJ Spiller is still questionable in terms of his knee injury but indications are he'll be ready to go Week 2. Hoping for big things from him this year.

Waiting for my Waivers to go through -- two open roster spots to fill, will post back with who I get. Tnx for the tip on Reddit, hadn't thought to look there but I like what I see - I'll be checking back frequently (oh no). I'm a big fan of FantasyPros and FootballGuys. http://www.borischen.co/ is pretty good as well, good analytics there.
