    Run Draft Buddy on your iPad, Take 2

    Anyone check this recently? I haven't, but seem to be always looking for a way to run it on the iPad, as my laptops are O L D and S L O W.

    Who makes the Playoffs - H2H or High Scoring

    I think most of my prior leagues go with scoring as the tiebreaker. One of my leagues this year is going to the hybrid 'HTH + Top 1/2 Points" method. It still may end up with ties that need to be broken. 10 team league with 6 advancing... I've got no sympathy for an owner who thinks they have the best team but don't advance. If you are setup in divisions, I like the division winners, then wild cards based on record. If you want to make an exception and declare that anyone with Top 1 or 2 points scored, that isn't already set to advance, will advance... sure.

    Off Notes / Overall Notes

    UGH. Spent some time putting some of my notes into a custom field.... updated and they are gone. Yes, I did this last year too (wrong way, then right way). Will put them into user notes later....

    Sorting Choices

    WOW. That's a lot of information. Not sure I follow all of it, but enough get me going. FWIW - I do prefer the Last Starter Drafted. I know that my bench will be stronger than most, and I'll be among the most active on the waiver wire:)

    Sorting Choices

    Thanks. I'll see if I can unhide and check it out. Re: Early QB - I understand the rational for not taking one early. I think in some leagues with 6pt PA TD (instead of standard 4), the top level QBs are much higher thatn the rest of the pack, and do make up for more than the dropoff in flex (rb/wr) choices. In my PATD 4pt leagues, I tend to wait on QB.

    Sorting Choices

    I don't have the full DB spreadsheet with me right now, so I can't be sure of the exact term, but I'm talking about the choices that include Compiler Draft Recommended, Last Started Drafted, Median Player Drafted and Last Player Drafted. I've copied the first 30 picks in my 12 team standard QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1RB/WR/TE, DEF, K league. Compiler is 7RBs then mixes in WRs until the QBs at 13/14 and TE at 27 Last Starter brings a WR at 3 and 8, QBs up 2 spots and TE at 14 Median Starter had 8RBs, then a couple WRs, QBs at 13/14 and TE 18 Last Player has 7RBs, before mixing in WRs, QBs 14/15 and TE outside the top 30 In this league, I have Picks 1, 24,25,48 etc. I'm sure I'm going RB and checking tiers for best available as we go. If the top QBs drop (they won't) I'll grab one at the 2/3 turn. I expect top TE to be gone, but would be tempted at the 2/3 turn as well. Is there an explanation of how the lists are adjusted/re-compiled somewhere? In addition to this league, I've got a bunch else, including 2/10 in a PPR, 5/10 PPR, 7/10 Standard. I'm tempted to go QB in the 7 (PA6), and might in the 5 (PA6) as well. Haven't checked to see how DB resorts them in those leagues, but I think the PPR starts with WRs, at least has them much higher. I don't have a great laptop, and the iPad solution is too risky for me this year (had some quirks last year with onlive). I'll be printing an ordered sheet for each draft. My understanding is that DB does not re-adjust based on league picks, ie won't suggest a non-QB if I get one early. I plan to incorporate some notes along the way (Doug's Big Board + ESPN/YAHOO rankings info only). Thanks. BB

    6pt PASS TD

    To follow up on that... Assume we could take RB3 or RB3, WR5 or WR10? I will have to run a theoretical mock both ways QB1, Flex13 (assume top 6 RB, Top 6WR gone), F23, F33, F43 vs F5, F15, F25, F35, QB7 sound about right?

    6pt PASS TD

    Thanks. I was thinking that this year, there are 2 QBs that are much more likely to be 'elite' and yes, there are 2 or 3 more that might be comparable by the end of the season. Those 2 or 3 more would be the same as the guy in round 6-8 to outperform the ADP. With my PATD 4 leagues... I'll be waiting on QBs. Question is, with PATD 6, does that increase the top QBs enough to draft them in the mid-late first? Does the INT penalty change things? Neither is -2, which I assumed was STD.

    Forte vs. Forsett

    Yup. I like Forte as a 1st rounder, but really like Forsett in the 4th.

    RBs and WRs...Top 4.

    I like the WR1s, always a few surprise RBs that turn out to be RB1s, either later in the draft or off the ww. Team 2 for me. Got the last pick huh?
  11. BigBBlue

    Pick 6

    Yeah, count me in for Bell, even out 2 games. Easier with more teams making the playoffs. I like Forte in the discussion. Foster... not so much.

    6pt PASS TD

    Thanks. That's the way I'm leaning. If I thought the top 2 QBs would be there in the 2nd, I'd go Stud RB/WR first. As it is, I just don't see that happening. Most of the playoff teams hit big with a midround pick that outperformed ADP, as well as no duds in the first few rounds.

    6pt PASS TD

    Thanks. I hadn't considered the devaluing aspect of it. It must juggle them up in overall rankings, but down in the QB ranks. Thank you. I think I'm always happier locking in a QB earlier, regardless of the league. With 6pt TDs, I'm likely to get one in the back half of the 1st. Thanks. This is how I feel. Just wanted to make sure that I wasn't completely insane. Thank you. Yeah, it seems that most of the playoff teams in the 6/-1 league have had top QBs. Some have gotten a big boost from mid-late round QBs outperforming ADP, I can't think of a "QB streamer' with success.

    6pt PASS TD

    I'm in 4 leagues (so far), 2 have 6 point passing TDS. League 1 - PPR 6pt Pass TD, -3 Int (5th pick of 10) League 2 - Standard 6pt Pass TD, -1 Int (7th pick of 10) Going by FFT QB projections, Rogers and Luck are 50pts ahead of Wilson/Manning, who are 15/30 (respective to leagues) ahead of 5+ In League 1, 3 QBs went in Round 1 last season (6,8,10) and 1 in the 2nd (17). I'm thinking at 5, we'll take Luck (or Rogers) as I expect 4 RBs to be off the board, and to be able to come back with solid value/depth round 2-8 at RB/WR. Pick 6 last year ran the table, Pick 10 was a Top 4 team, crumbled in the playoffs. Brees, Ball and Stacy doomed Pick 8 (me) to the cellar. In League 2, Pick 7 QB - Finished 2nd (me), Pick 9 QB - cellar, Pick 10 QB - Won. I'm prepared to pick Rogers, as I think Luck will be gone. Should 2 QBs go, then I think I'll be fine grabbing a Top 5RB and Stud WR on the way back. II think if 2 go before my pick, 2 more will go before my next pick, and I'm not 100% sold on Wilson/Manning enough get them in the 2nd. Should they be there in the 3rd, I'll reconsider. My gut, and some mock drafts tell me that the QB points for Luck/Rogers will make up for the dropoff. The -3 INT penalty seems to really make me want an "elite" QB. PPR just makes the WR pool deeper as well. In the standard league, I'm even higher on Luck/Rogers, and really expect one to drop to me at 7. Crazy? Standard for 6 PA TD?
