I think it would be better if you had only one chance to select players instead of picking for each round. The risk of your players not continuing would make it more interesting.

that would make it more interesting, but it would completely take Patriots, Packers, Ravens and 49ers players out of the equation, since you wouldn't be able to get to the 2nd round if you wasted picks on those players in week 1, but you'd need them going forward

My FF commissioner set this up for everyone to throw 10 bucks down on. I didn't have time to research the rules or set my roster until 20 minutes ago. I too thought you created only one roster.

Then I got all the way to defense and ran out of money. I didn't know if you weren't supposed to be conservative with your salary cap until I tried to submit without a defense to beat the 4.30 kickoff. It was like "you forgot a slot". Only Houston/Bengals players were locked so I probably still have a chance.

howaboutno is pretty impressive. 99.4% is pretty crazy

I had Green-Ellis as well. I should have tried to squeeze Rice in somehow.

I dropped to last only because I had just 2 players go yesterday. I picked pretty much the entire Giant's offense against GB (worst defense in history) and the Raven's D.

btw, what do those percentages mean? % of highest points possible?

It's your percentile rank among everyone playing.

I am doing well his week and still have Manning, Nicks, and Tynes to play today. Definitely glad I had Brady yesterday.

^Same here. I also have Ballard, Jacobs, and Tynes, so however the Giants score is good for me.

I notice Tynes' points aren't updating though. He should have 7.

I'm not sure he is doing the kicking. I thought he was.

I'm in second with all my players remaining. The leader must not have read the rules...

I'm glad my gamble on a mostly Giants team paid off.

The only player I lost for the Superbowl is Ray Rice.
