One of the two is dynasty and was just the rookie draft... the other is a standard redraft, but it was a friend's birthday and we had a couple of dudes flying into Vegas to make it a birthday weekend and early draft.
Well, I tabbed him in the first round of a two-round rookie draft for dynasty (we start 1 QB and an offensive utility, so QB is at a premium), and then in the middle of round 9. I'd actually been targeting Mayfield, but I had drafted both Odell and Landry, so I couldn't put all of my chips on one team. I picked up Russell Wilson to hedge my bet a little, and I'll probably start him week 1 until I can get a pulse on Kyler's week-to-week value.
I'm in 7 leagues, so it has to be spread out. I have two on Labor Day weekend, one next weekend, and the others will probably be after the 3rd preseason game.
It's a bit of a chore... each Tuesday night is basically getting home from work, researching, and making my moves. But it's a great bonding thing with my groups of friends.
With no kids and plenty of time, sure. I have 3 kids so....helllllll no lol
If I even had one kid, I don't think I'd have any hobbies or interests. I'm already exhausted enough from work and complaining about Kyler Murray on a message board.
I never understood this - I prefer banter to the money. Especially in Vegas, where I can bet on everything. If I was financially motivated, I'd just go hit the sportsbook.
Well, I only have one unpaid league, but I've been in it for nearly 20 years. So that's a special exception I guess.
People don't try. There is nothing to compete for. Skin in the game creates value and competition. Changes everything.
