Playoff Fantasy Football Draft

by Douglas M on


Welcome to the first ever Turf Show Time Playoff Fantasy Football Draft. It's going to be a battle Royal between Team TST, the winner of the NFL Picks against the point spread series, and Ryan Van Bibber, Mike D and Brick Top. Even though Team TST has the first pick in the draft, it's long odds against us winning against some of the most football savvy people around.

Mike D is the TST Fantasy Guru, so he's forgotten more than I know about drafting a competitive team. Brick Top is a football wunderkind in his own right, and then there is... Van Bibber! Some say he was inspiration for the character "Lord Voldemort" in J.K. Rowling's famous Harry Potter series? What he doesn't know is that I have a lighting shaped scare on my... Uh, never mind. But suffice it to say if he wins, I'll be showing it to my computer screen.

This Draft will be a tough one. Many of the best players are on teams with first round byes, so we may be building two teams: one out of less than likely first round winners, and a second team to see us through to the Super Bowl. The winner will be decided by the highest overall point total.

How about a few suggestions on who you would pick?

So welcome all to this draft of drafts! The guidelines and draft order after the break...

Star-divide

Rules and scoring for the TST Playoff FF league


The Draft:

Picks are decide by final season win percentage in the NFL Weekly Picks post. Highest % gets the 1st pick and so on.

You may not pick players on the same team with consecutive picks. Example: If you take Aaron Rodgers with your 1st pick, you can't pick another Packer player with your second pick. You have to wait for your 3rd pick to take another Packer player. This holds true for every round.

The first 4 rounds will have only 1 minute draft clocks. Rounds 5 through 10 will have 2 minute clocks. Rounds 11 through 24 will have 3 minute clocks.

QBs - 3

RBs - 5

WRs - 7

TEs - 3

K - 3

Def teams (includes STs for that team) - 3

Player elimination:

Once the team a player is on loses, that position on the roster is dead. You can't add players after the draft.

Scoring:

All TDs - 6 points

FGs - 3

Xps - 1

Yardage for Runs, passes and receptions will be calculated this way: 1 yard = 1/10 of a point (10 yards = 1 point, 100 yards = 10 points)

Because of difficulty, there will be no reduction for lost yardage

Roster deadline:

Because the lineups will be featured in a post each week, all rosters must be sent to me by Thursday in any given week.

The Draft Order:

1st - Team TST

2nd - Mike D.

3rd - Ryan Van Bibber

4th - Brick Top

The Draft opens at 7pm EST

Drew Brees will throw from the 1 yard line

Take Ray Rice as your RB. There you have it

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

You'd take Brees over Rodgers?

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

sure would

Sproles in the backfield makes a 9th receiver, it seems

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

I like the Rice pick

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

Sleeper of sleepers

Darren Sproles. Mark Ingram out for year.

Joe Mazzi - January 4, 2012 reply

I've got he and Ivory on my list. I have to come up with 5 RBs, hopefully on teams that will go far in the playoffs

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

Avoid Arian Foster.

Joe Mazzi - January 4, 2012 reply

Really? Why?

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

It'd be different in Schaub were QB

the passing game isn’t really there, especially with Johnson out (although, he should be coming back). D’s will focus on Foster…..got agree with RAMphetamine. YOU GOTTA GET RICE!

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

If he's there, I'll be taking him with the first pick in round 2

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

Rice I mean, not Foster

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

Texans = 1 & done

Joe Mazzi - January 4, 2012 reply

1 Hour till Draft time!

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

Graham or Gronk

take your pick, and take it early. Both are gonna score WR points

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

The tough part will be how to build basically two team, with most of the best players being on teams with Byes

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

Give me your first 5 picks?

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

Come on TSTers! Give me your first 5 picks, rounds 1 through 5

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

Here ya go, Doug

1) Tebow
2) Darren McFadden
3) Justin King
4) Eagles D/ST’s
5) Martin Grammatica

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

The King pick is a sure winner!

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

Wide Receivers are locked down on King Kontinent

week in week out.

RAMpage28 - January 4, 2012 reply

did he get fired yesterday too?

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

Why fire King?

Fuckin shut down corner.

RAMpage28 - January 4, 2012 reply

yea, he shuts it down when they opposition snaps the ball

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

That's what I'm saying

HE SHUTS IT DOWN!

RAMpage28 - January 4, 2012 reply

Any bets on whether King makes the team next year?

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

50 bucks says he's gone

Deader then disco.

RAMpage28 - January 4, 2012 reply

Disco is dead? lol

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

And that's why.

RAMpage28 - January 4, 2012 reply

Winning team

Aaron Rodgers
Ray Rice
Wes Welker
Jermichael Finley
Darren Sproles

Joe Mazzi - January 4, 2012 reply

Pack might have a bit of rust in the divisional.

RAMpage28 - January 4, 2012 reply

Is Jennings going to be back for the playoffs?

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

I hope for their sake.

If so, sub out my Finley pick and add Jennings. Or if not, consider Nelson instead of Finley.

Joe Mazzi - January 4, 2012 reply

I have Nelson on my board if I take Rodgers

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

Fah rizzle, though

Brees
Rice
Gronk
C. Johnson
Sproles

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

Is Tebow going to go undrafted? O.O

Joe Mazzi - January 4, 2012 reply

He'll be drafted since each team has to take 3 QBs

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

He'll be watching from above

and by that, I mean the elevation of a TV in Denver is much higher than where the real teams will be playing in the 2nd week of the playoffs

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

Facing the steelers in the wild card?

STEAL!

RAMpage28 - January 4, 2012 reply

I'd rather take Matt Flynn on the off chance that Rodgers gets hurt

Joe Mazzi - January 4, 2012 reply

I've been thinking the same thing

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

Who would you take as a 1 week QB? Rodgers and Brees have this week off

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

Brees does?

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

the Saints play this Saturday

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

Yeah the pack and 49ers have the byes

RAMpage28 - January 4, 2012 reply

So do NE and Bal

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

I was talking about the NFC

RAMpage28 - January 4, 2012 reply

Oops! I meant Brady. Brees plays week 1

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

Brees all day, all playoffs!

Against the Lions………there might not be a run play all game

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

Brees!

RG31 - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Uh

Brady
Ray Rice
Wr from Houston
Wes Welker
Fill in fifth

RG31 - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Welker over Gronk?

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

Well its kinda pick your poison isnt it?

Both will most likely have good numbers.

RG31 - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Wont argue

I had Gronk on my fantasy team, so I’m kinda biased. Seems uncoverable, and I believe scored a lot more TD’s…..I could be wrong about that

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

I think youre right

He does seem uncoverable coming up the middle, I could live with him or Welker.

RG31 - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Are we doing this here?

Mike Dietrich - January 4, 2012 reply

So you guys want me to take Brees eh? I don't see them getting out of GB in January. Lambeau is going to be damn cold

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

I think they have a good chance of beating Green Bay

Patriots vs saints in SB doesnt sound too bad

RG31 - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

There isn't enough time for me to do my joke picks in this draft :( My first pick was going to be elmo

Brick Top - January 4, 2012 reply

TOUCHDOWN ELMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RAMpage28 - January 4, 2012 reply

Could I get Ryan, and Mike to check in?

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

Mike Dietrich - January 4, 2012 reply

As soon as Ryan checks in we'll start

Douglas M - January 4, 2012 reply

I've never seen a "comment" from Ryan.

Is today the day?

Joe Mazzi - January 4, 2012 reply

kinda like how the NHL hasnt seen Sidney Crosby

DCRamFan - January 4, 2012 reply

Crosby is the best! xD

RG31 - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Joe Mazzi - January 4, 2012 reply
