    Yes it is but I can add you to division 8 if you like?

    For reference, these are the players for division 8:

    Ravage1616
    billr67
    Ju_Ju
    Diarmuid1995
    The_Dazzler
    Chonaic17
    dropping_bombs
    randomCluster
    bobo the clown
    spiritcrusher

    That's 10 teams so far. I think randomcluster is going to be GM.

    Not too late at all. You will go into division 8. Could you post in the division 8 thread? They running a poll to decide on a draft date so you should vote on that also.

    My trade deadline is 2 days earlier on the 25th?

    Options are limited to 11th, 18th and 25th for me. Is that ok?

    Hi,

    we will need at least one more person to add as we can't have an odd number of teams. I've put you on the list anyway.

    Reminder that the deadline for voting in the division 8 doodle poll is midnight tonight. So far we have 8 voters, and are missing randomCluster and The_Dazzler.

    What happens for those unavailable for the draft?

    Are their picks automated?

    You can also set a list of your preferred players and the computer will draft the highest available from that list onto your team.

    Draft poll closes tonight guys, I've sent out requests for email addresses to everyone who expressed and interest in division 8 and everyone responded except randomcluster. If I don't get any response from them then I will offer a place to mbradso2003 who has already sent me their email address. That will give us 12 members pretty good, and shouldn't dilute the draft too much.

    I'll send out the league invites tomorrow and the draft day will be set, if anyone has discovered they'll be free at another time then you can still update your chosen option on the poll, but if I end up with no clear option then I'll have to make a choice from the 3 or 4 options that are remaining. Hopefully everyone will be able to take part in the draft but if not then autopick will fill your roster for you.

    The draft process is explained on NFL . Com unfortunately I don't have enough posts to post a link but a google search will help you out.

    I don't think so, I think most leagues have drafted at this stage, but if anyone drops out I'd let you know.

    Hi guys,

    wasn't sure this was the right place to post this, but anyhow.

    Not sure how many of you, as myself, have subscribe this year again to GamePass, but I've been told, and checked, that the new channel "Sky Sports Mix" (channel 105 on Virgin, 407 on Sky) is showing the NFL RedZone on Sundays...
    Hope this make some of you happy...!

    Going back and forth in my head all week about whether to start Eddie Lacy @ Minnesota or Ameer Abdullah against Tennessee.

    The conservative sensible pick would be Lacy but being against that defence coupled with the fact I'm not as high on him bouncing back this year as most I can't help but be tempted to gamble on Abdullah and hope he has another big fantasy week.

    Lacy always seems to have good games against the Vikes. Don't think I could bench him!

    I agree with you, very hard to bench Lacy! The day you bench him he'll have a stand out game. It's always the way!

    Rest assured that whichever one you pick will end up being the wrong one.

    Hey fellas, fist time poster here and not in a boards league.
    First year player with some decisions to make,

    Help me pick 2 RBs from Foster, Matthews and Yeldon

    1 WR from Cobb (GB) Wheaton (Steelers), Royal (Bears) and Crowder (Redskins)

    There might be obvious selections there but I don't see them yet.

    You could probably go for any of those RBs... but i'd go Foster and Mathews personally.

    Then definitely Cobb at WR.

    Thank you kindly, Ivory is still out for Jax so I expect Yeldon to see a lot of the ball,
    I could play all three RBs if they were better options than Cobb?

    Brock Osweiler at NE or Tyrod vs the Cardinals? Don't think either guy will do great but struggling on who to start. Anybody want to offer some advice?
