• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Does anyone else do this? My brother got me into it and it’s fun as hell.

All the leagues require buy ins, but it’s basically like crack because you can hop in a draft whenever you want.

The league format is mostly unmanaged. You draft a team (no defense and no K) and each week they take the scores of your top scorers from each position. So if you have 8 WR, the 2 highest scoring for that week will be applied to the point total.

Downside is if you lose a player, or a guy you draft is terrible, you can’t exchange them, but that same rule applies to everyone.
 
I am in a survivor fantasy league. 12 teams with snake draft but with no bench spots After three weeks team with lowest score is eliminated and all those players go on waivers. After that it’s lowest score for the week is eliminate, etc.. gets real interesting with bye weeks as you either drop / pickup knowing you won’t get that player back or keep the player and hope you survive. Last team standing wins all the money.

Never tried that. Sounds fun
 
Best ball is great. Completely removes lineup decisions and the most useless positions (kicker and DEF). What's not to like?
 
I’ve done about 25 drafts so far. Will be drafting my nuts off until Thursday night
