LARS Fantasy Football league is on it's way back.
Quick question; ESPN.com or NFL.com.
ESPN.com is what we went with last year, NFL.com has integrated Google+ hangouts for video shit talking during the season.

I'd like to make the pages this weekend if that's possible, we'll have to see. Questions? Anyone not returning for this season?
I'll edit this post with the promotions and relegations from last season.

Edit
Promoted: Josh, Tracer and Fuzzball
Relegated: Todd Mansbridge, Rigney and Matthew Alesana

Once we figure who's coming back we can set up the leagues. Need to determine who's coming back, which new players need to be brought in. As of now the top division falls as such.

Andrew, Big Tony, Diego, Zero, Travis Johnson, Joaquin Champion-Los, Josh, Tracer and Fuzzball.

The Lower division will have Ed The Zombie, Isaac, Matthew, Albert Ybarra, Britt (if she's playing) and all returning or new parties.

Spread the word.

For those new to this we play a two tiered "Promotion/Relegation" Fantasy Football break down. Bottom 3 from the Top division will be relegated to the lower division, top 3 from the lower division will be promoted to the top division at the conclusion of the season.

Update: I'll be updating the 2nd division list as necessary.

I think Fuzzball is incorrect and dumb, that being said I agree with the statement above 100%

I vote ESPN. Like the Cleveland browns I return!

I will defy the laws of physics and somehow win the 1st division title from the 2nd division.

I'm indifferent. So, whatever you decide is fine with me. Trace mentioned something (on Facebook) about one site that has an app? I'm cool with that.

Never played any fantasy games. Does it require a lot of time/effort?

it can or it can be just enough to update and make sure you've got players actually playing going.
It's really up to you how much time you want to spend. Can do 20 minutes a week, can do 4 hours a week.

Just be prepared for josh to complain whichever site we choose. I like ESPN it's set up is easy to use and it is aesthetically pleasing.

When is the draft being held? Also, do we need to attend in person? Any buy in too?
Either ESPN or NFL Site is fine with me.

I'm in. Don't care what site hosts our league.


On scoring:

Since the season is rapidly approaching, I did an analysis on scoring by position (based on the first 15 games).

I slimmed down analysis to just the top 32 two players at each position (average of 1 per team), and discovered that RBs and WRs are relatively similar in scoring (based on last season).

WR
Yds /game 65.9
TDs /game .4
Touches /game 4.3

RB
Yds /game 75.1
TDs /game .4
Touches /game 13.9

QB
Yds/game 235.6
Passing TDs/game 1.5
Passing Attempts/game 31.9
Completions/game 19.5


Assuming that the league is going to be set up as two RBs and two WRs, they should be scored the same. For QBs, the question is how should their average score relate to a WR or RB? I think there is probably agreement that a WR with an average-above average game, as we saw last season (Rogers has a 300+ game with 4 TDs, and Britt scores higher with a 2TD-100+ game).

A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.
