Many of us love Fantasy Football Leagues and Pick'em Contests. I created this forum for many things: Announcement of when the weekly picksheet has been posted and ready to use Announcement of winners from the weeks Pick'ems after the games are complete Discussion of rules for the Pick'ems & TalkBears Fantasy Football Leagues. Do you have questions about existing rules? Do you want to see changes made in the scoring system of the Fantasy Football Leagues, etc... This is where to post them... Want others from the forum who play Fantasy Football to give you their opinion on a draft you just finished? Have lineup changes you need to make and…

Starting this week we will be having Thursday Night Games on NFL Network. I will be putting up the Picksheets asap, usually on Tuesday evenings after I get home from work. If you want to select the Thursday night game you will need to submit a COMPLETE picksheet prior to the start of the Thursday night game. I realize this does not give you time to think over the remaining games but do not worry. After the Thursday night game is over, you will be able to resubmit a new picksheet before the start of the 1st game on Sunday to change any selections you want to adjust. If you resubmit a new picksheet after the Thursday night game, or if you choose not to se…

Hey guys, if anyone has gone through a draft this year, let's hear it, how did it go, who did you draft? I would be curious to see how you did. I am in 5 leagues so far, may sign up for more, with my first draft coming up on the 16th. I will post the results from all my drafts here and maybe you guys can give me some feedback. Don't be shy, let's see those draft boards, LOL.

Ok, let's play what if. You have the number one overall selection in your fantasy football draft. Who do you select? LT? J Addai? A Petersen? F Gore? S Jackson? B Westbrook? T Brady? R Moss? or fill in the blank!

What is your favorite draft position in the FF drafts? Every year I agonize wondering where I will draft. I seldom get a top selection and usually get pi&&ed when I wind up drafting near the bottom of the 1st round. However, looking back on it I seem to always come up looking good when I pick late. Last year I drafted last in the first round and wound up winning the championship. So in a 10 team draft where do you prefer to select, #1, #10, or somewhere in between?

Hi guys sorry to tell ya that i have to drop out of the league. I'm going on vacation on August 22nd until August 25th. Yes, i know about the auto pick thing. But, i'd like to not have the computer pick my team. Again, i apologize in advance.

Your live online draft is set for Fri Aug 22 8:30pm CDT Please arrive at least 10 minutes early since your draft will start promptly at the assigned time. The draft order will be randomly determined approximately 30 minutes before the draft begins. Managers, make sure to check your league settings before you draft http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/35927

The new picksheet for week 8 is ready. Please enter your picks before the start of the 1st game on Sunday. http://www.talkbears.com/Contests/index.htm Thanks and good luck! I am out for blood this week John - Pixote

Great job!! One more week to go!

Need advice in the final of a league. Can play 2 RB's out of the following 4 Thomas Jones v Seattle Pierre Thomas v Detroit matt Forte v GB LT v TB

ok so in my money league I proposed 2 trades by the same person...I am deciding if I want to take any. (me) Sammy Morris for Wes Welker (me) Jamaal Lewis for Chasni Stukley (sp, NY Jets WR) I need a 3rd WR and he needs an RB I got Reggie Wayne and TJ Housh (WTF???) as my other starters and Reggie Williams/Kevin Walter as my 3rd Starter... My Rbs are Gore, Earnest Graham, 2 above and Selvin Young Any Advice?

4 R.B's pick 3 to play LT Forte Bush Felix Jones

In our league we get to keep three keepers from our prior year roster. The cost of the keeper is whatever you used to pick the player in the previous year's draft. I have to make these selections tomorrow morning. Here are my options: Steven Jackson will cost me my first round pick. He's currently holding out. Plaxico Burress will cost me my fourth round pick. He's currently got leg issues and isn't happy with his contract. Ben Roethlisberger will cost me my 7th round pick. However, keeping him as my starter means I wouldn't even consider taking Manning, Romo or Brees who all look like they'll be available (not kept) in the random order draft process.…

I just assumed that most who were in the pool would prefer that their selections not be shown to others until after the deadline for picks had expired. I have several email me saying they would prefer to see their picks asap. So I ask you, do you want me to show the selections I have received and entered into the contest program as I get a chance to enter them or do you want me to wait until after the picksheet deadline has passed?

Ok guys, if I win this game week 13 I am in the playoffs in the ESPN league I am playing in. In this league you do NOT get point per reception. I am trying to decide on my WRs. I started T Owens Thursday and he did fine by me, got 15 points. I have Moss slated against PIT. My third RB/WR/Flex is what I am concerned about. My options are: TJH of CIN vs BAL, L Moore of NOS vs TBB, D Hixon NYG vs WAS (Burress is out) and K Walter of HOU vs JAX. I have R Brown of MIA vs STL & M Moore of PIT vs NEP as my RBs I have P Hills DEN, & R Williams MIA but do not see playing either of them in flex. I am also trying to figure ou…

Congratulations to flea, winner of week 6. He edges out staley - both had 10 wins but flea had the tie-breaker! Great job guys! A tough week for sure.

I should have the new picksheet for week 1 up soon. Normally this would not be until Tuesday but with a game on Thursday and being the first week of the season (no game tonight to hold up the lines from Vegas) I should have it up and going today. A few things to remember: The only contest of the 3 I am running against the spread is the weekly/season selections. The Survivor Pool and the Margin Pool are both with NO POINT SPREAD. In the Margin Pool and the Survivor Pool it is VERY IMPORTANT not to use the same team more than once as your selection in each of the pools. If you choose Chicago as your margin pool selection this week, you can not select them aga…
