Well my season is on the line this week. With a game vs Equus who I am tied with, whomever wins will most probably represent our division in the playoffs

Good luck to you. Despite the fact I won't be making the playoffs with two 8 win teams in my division, I'm happy with the overall performance of my team. When I first saw the roster, I thought I'd be lucky to get 2 wins. Somehow, I've been able to win 6 games with very little running game.
Last week was somewhat of an anomaly with my team putting up 140 points and that's with 0 from A.J. Green.
It's been a lot of fun regardless and I'm already looking forward to next season.

After Rube whips my ass and knocks me out this week, I'll be looking for offseason trades. Everyone available.

I hope Brady puts up 50 so you go way over 200

QBs are way too overvalued in this league. Especially considering how easily you can sandbag players without ever having to cut anyone
I just lost my game and my playoff hopes on the last fucking pass play of the game because aaron rogers went over 300 yards for a 5 pt bonus.

I agree, argued that before,thats how it is...
Basically a free touchdown for that magic 100th/300th yard.

It's not as bad as a league I was in a few years ago where QBs got points per completion. It was insane. QBs were dropping 65 a game.
How does this league work in the offseason? Is there discussion about point changes, etc.?
I've always been more of a PPR guy myself, but I know a lot of people hate it.

You are not out of the playoffs yet. You need to win out and hope that Equus Asinus loses but there is still a chance.
As for the other divisions, the 8 win teams all won and the 6 win teams all lost so they have been wrapped up for the most part. The winner of the pink division isn't decided but it doesn't really matter because the second place team will be the wildcard.
As for the rules, I put them up for discussion between the seasons but everyone seems to disappear from this thread in the off-season. By the time we have enough back to vote on it the season is on us. This season was even worse than normal. Maybe the best time would be right after the season so maybe we catch everyone.
I think off season discussion is a good idea and the eventual inclusion of more and more "dynasty" owners down for the long game will help facilitate interest.
We should give it a whirl this off season or at the very least set a meet-up point early before the next NFL season to have everyone check back in to avoid from having to scramble at the last minute like in years past. If we can get all sitting at the table early, not only will it make drafting easier but we could also go over prospective rule changes ect.
Im an all year round fantasy football kind of guy, lol so I know I could keep checking this thread in the off season but its hard to maintain alertness for some in the offseason

I just don't care that much. My real life always has precedence over this dumb shit. I'll check in and put in my lineup as always, as for rule changes, do whatever, I'll still play.

I think we all value our real lives over "dumb shit", but it's a hobby. Like any hobby, whether it's reading, video games, TV, movies, etc., it's used as a way of relaxing and distracting ourselves. I don't think anybody is asking for us to fly to New York, rent a conference room, wear a suit and really hash it out.

I really hope that we do not do any rule changes. It goes against the very premise of a Dynasty league. Changing point values, changes teams, and those who have built their teams should not see their work change. If point changes are made, then we should blow the whole thing up and draft from the beginning again. Trust me when I say this has nothing to do with my team's record. I inherited the team only a few year's back, but my team is built for this current system. Devaluing quarterbacks would showcase my team's running back weakness. Changes in point values will change the competitive balance over night, and force some teams to make major changes. The one problem I have had with the league since I joined is the how many players we carry for the season. There is so little to go after on the waiver wire. That might be the only change I might consider - reducing the number of players we can protect year to year. This would create a much more interesting draft day as well.
Come on, the 20th guy on my bench is a stud hahaha.

I belong to a Dynasty Fantasy Baseball league that's been around since 1975. Our rule book is 15 pages long. Every year at the draft, we have people submit rule change proposals. We are constantly tweaking all aspects of the league in order to improve it.
The same for any sport, MLB, NBA, NFL, etc.

There is one week left in the regular season but based on tiebreakers I believe the playoff teams are set. However, remember that there will be a consolation "ladder" for the remaining teams. I expect everyone to continue to set lineups throughout. Once all of the games are done, trading will open back up until close to the NFL draft.
I'm curious how my old team did this year. I left the new owner with giant holes at running back (Sorry about that!) if I remember correctly. Good luck to everyone!
I believe your former team is sitting at 5-8 but everyone was really close in the division with the leader at 7-6.
once again I'd like to state that I think that using the "consolation ladder" games to determine or affect draft order is for the birds. It is guaranteed that some folks will not even submit a lineup or otherwise check out after not making the playoffs. Whether any team wins or loses some crapshoot "consolation" game should not affect the draft order. It should be determined by regular season record (with the exception of teams who made the playoffs)

Agreed. Its easy to tank, and our 3 picks can sway a season, ask Equus how he'd be doing without Elliot.

I concur as well.
Also, not to open up a can of worms, but I don't agree with a snake draft for a dynasty league. The whole point of a snake draft is to balance things out for everybody in the draft. This makes sense because most fantasy football leagues reset every year, meaning everybody is on an even playing field.
With a dynasty league, the teams with the worst records should have an advantage and not just in the first round, hence why a traditional draft makes sense. It makes it that much harder for a bad team to get better if after their first pick 19 players go off the board.
I know this is controversial, but I feel comfortable breaching the conversation now that my team is middle of the road. I didn't want to bring it up earlier just in case my team was bad, which would make it look like I wanted a traditional draft in order for it to benefit myself.

That makes sense to me. The snake does kinda help picks 10-12, getting 2 top 15 guys instead of first pick gets 1 and 25th. 25th best guys blow dickhole in this ultradeep league.
