Just have a hunch that may be an issue with the second league and would be happy to help find replacements for owners who neglect their teams.

We'd love to have you help find replacements. I sent an e-mail before the draft asking people if they were still active given the delay in launching League 2, and no one opted out, but I suspect that we do have some teams that are being robo-drafted right now. I don't know for sure if that means the team is abandoned or not, but it probably does.

We'd have to manually replace people right now, so if you know folks who are interested, let me know if they're ready to commit and we can get them slotted in. Since those teams are already paid up, there'd be no cost to them. I'd just have to confirm which teams have been abandoned.

Thanks for the help! A full league is a fun league.

Stay tuned. The odds are good that we'll take you up on that.

Ramsey will be getting traded.

Why? My top two WRs combined for only 70 yards on the day and Ramsey came up with a big INT.

You need to check your OL. Allowed a ridiculous 40+ pressure rate and 5 sacks. Russ spent the whole afternoon running for his life. Couldn't even muster 4 YPA.

Like real life Seattle. Poor Russ, cant even get good protection in the game.

Where are you at in the draft in league 2?

We're probably 8 to 10 picks in. So a bit less than halfway.

He can't say he wasn't warned.

It was pointed out to him about 15 rounds in that poor Russell had zero offensive lineman on his team to that point and would be running for his life.

Billay seemed unconcerned...

As long as I don’t have to pick after ThaVirus if he’s in league 2!

I can guarantee that you'll pick after him in no more than half the rounds.

Williams/Bulaga are fine book ends, Richburg is an alright center, the guards suck

When is next game?

How frequently will you all update player positions...or how big of a difference do you guys consider it between the MLB and ILB.

I plan on running a 3-4 scheme and just drafted Jordan Hicks. He did well in Philadephia's 4-3 scheme, but has really blown up this year being one of the ILB's in Arizona's 3-4.

Will players, like Jordan, get re-designated as their positions shift?

Players will get re-designated each year if they play more snaps (roughly) at a different position. You can move players around to a reasonable degree, but there'll be some degradation if they're out of their NFL position. You can use common sense on it - a 4-3 MLB moving to 3-4 ILB won't have much degradation, but a FS moving to 3-4 OLB will have a lot of degradation. If you're moving a player too far, you may be better off just going with a street free agent. But if you're not moving him much, he'll be almost as good as his natural position.
