    Question for Dynasty League players.

    Six round rookie/fa draft (34 roster spots + 5 IR + 5 Taxi). IPD league. I'd say you should have some idea who is going to be there the first two rounds. After that is a total crapshoot of BAPs. Great bunch of rookie WRs and I think it would wise to throw some resources that way early and often.

    collusion by commissioner?

    This trade looks greasy and I think it should be vetoed, or at least discussed among the league's owners. I think it is important to remember that the goal of this silliness is to have fun. If an owner is willing to cheat(and I'm not saying anyone is in this instance) to make a few extra dollars then I feel sorry for them. That being said, I believe any "big money" league should only be among people that you know and trust who have the same "fun first" philosophy. I have no problem picking up a player or making a trade to c@@kblock a rival but certain decorum should be used.

    Fantasy Football used for teaching math in school

    A very informative thread and thanks to all for participating. A few random thoughts.... Yes, there are bad teachers out there but there are also very good ones. This can be said for all industries. You all have an open invitation to visit my classroom any time (pm me). I will show you children, many who come from some horrible home situations, that are learning and mastering a professional 3D program (AutoDesk Inventor). These same kids are also learning how to speak the language of money....Chinese. I am not doing this for a paycheck. If money was the driving force I would not of sold my business in Taiwan. Many of the teachers I know can make more money doing something else but they choose to make less money in order to make a difference. FFB wise, besides teaching math skills, students participating in a league will be able to practice reading for understanding as well as developing critical thinking skills. Reading, math, cooperation, analytical thinking....how could this be a negative? Peace to all...may you all walk naked in the woods!

    Long, long, time lurker here. I teach Mandarin and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) at a low income middle school in California. I think using fantasy football or baseball is a good way to get students engaged. They would be able to see that there are real life applications of math in an area that interests them. Perhaps even introduce some simple technology such as using spreadsheets? Or course, no money should be involved and you might want to run it by admin first. Thanks for thinking outside the box, education needs more forward thinkers like you.

    Anyone ever leave a TE out of the starting lineup?

    Every point counts. Play a TE no matter how painful it is.

    Dillon news

    No way. He killed me two weeks ago, and with him playing in a Sunday night game...it's just not worth it. Reuben should go for a hunny combined this week and a touch. I'll take that any day. Yeah, that's what I'm going to do also. The feeling I get from Dillon when he is on the Pats injury report is the same feeling I get when Mrs. Bane pulls out her paddle, rubber suit, and mouth ball. Uh oh.......

    So I take it you're not going to play the "Dillon Guessing Game" this week?

    Dillon news

    I got cornholed last year with this injury report stuff and Dillon. I have Dillon again this year and the same thing is happening. I like Dillon against the Bills but I may have to use Droughns. Can someone please remind me again why I like this game?
