Football is 2 months away from starting but it's never too early to organize fantasy football leagues since we all love them and are addicted (I played in 11 leagues last year...)

I've been running a unique league every year with different settings to change things up and make it more fun. I'm doing the same this year, hopefully the settings will be fun for owners as I think it provides a different twist. It's on ESPN

Please note the rosters. Scoring is 6 points passing TD, 1 PPR and some tweaks to defensive scoring only for points allowed. Otherwise it's normal. It's a deep roster but only 8 teams so most of the teams will be comprised of players you know but there will be room for sleepers. The players are week 13-16, two weeks each, no week 17 cause I hate that. Free agent auction bidding on Thursday and Sunday.

Draft is Tuesday, September 4th at 9pm EST. I want to do it after the 4th pre-season game to avoid any injuries to drafted players, there is nothing worse than that. And it's after Labor Day so hopefully no scheduling issues. If you are interested, I'm getting an interest list but payment will be due in late August. I just want to get this league filled.

looks like an awesome league... too bad theres no $50 version

Interest List:

1. Me
2. 93-97
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

Definitely interested to play again! Why the change to 8 teams this time around?

Because I like to mix it up, doing the same league every year isn't that fun. There will be very big lineups and the more starting players, the more fun and draft strategy imo. Also, this league isn't 3 QB like last year.

Looks intriguing......i'm assuming paypal here?....Count me in Leet8s....

Count me in also.... I need to see about the leaguesafe to make sure I can deposit on there

In

Why not have 2 TEs and 2 Ks too? And is it possible to have a deeper bench? Bye weeks could be tough...might be forced to start someone on a bye in certain weeks

I was actually thinking of doing 0 kickers. I feel like there is no importance to them. The three flex spots are WR/RB/TE so you can play up to 4 TEs. Don't see a reason to force 16 TEs to start.

I'll probably add bench spots, you are right. You're added, tentatively one spot left, I'll set it up on LeagueSafe soon.

$200 budget and draft your team with bidding! I think 10-teams is perfect for auction as that is what the projected dollar amounts are for and I don't want to trouble people with math for 12 team leagues.

Leets put me in for the $200. Let me know how to ship. Thanks

put me in the 8 spot. in.
