TalkBears Keeper FFB League 2021

Featured Replies

GM's, I want to get a jump on the league compared to last year as we cut it really close in terms of replacement GMs and payments. 

So I need to get confirmation by 12 AUG that you intend to play this year. I will send out reminders weekly to ensure those that may not visit the site are getting the notifications as well. Once 12 AUG hits, we will start looking for replacement GMs to fill your slot.

 

Here are the league dates:

Confirm GM status for the season: 12 AUG

Payment via LeagueSafe: 26 AUG (David has already paid)

League Draft Window: 27 AUG - 03 SEP

Week 1: 09 SEP 

 

So for those that frequent the site regularly, please post whether you will be participating in the league this year or not.  The league and ability to pay should be available in a few weeks. I will need Ary to restart the league for this season as the Commish. Once the league is restarted, I will confirm the league settings and rules. If my memory serves me correctly, we are up to 2x Keepers (can't be the same as last year/had to be drafted by you and on your roster at season's end), and the fee is $30, with the Champ taking $180, 2nd taking $90, and 3rd taking $30. Draft order is last to first as a snake draft and the standard weekly waivers are in use. 

If there are other rule changes or requests, we can discuss them here. I will pin this to the top of the board for now.

 

 

KEEPER TRACKER (as of 7/23)

5th: Dak Prescott, QB; David Montgomery, RB

9th: Antonio Gibson, RB

10th: Josh Allen, QB

14th: TJ Hockenson, TE

Can  u  give the compensation rules on the keepers agian?

Correct me if I am wrong but the first keeper is 1 round, so a 4th round pick costs a 3rd rounder this year. If you choose a second keeper, that one costs 2 rounds, so a 6th will cost a 4th. If you happen to choose two picks with the same round comp (4>3 and 5>3), just swap the round comp so (4>2, 5>4), so you still give up 3 rounds total for 2 keepers.

You can't keep a keeper two years in a row and you had to draft the player and have them on your final roster.

If I keep Dak and Hockenson, it costs me a fifth and tenth?

Mongo, Dak was a 5th round pick and Hockenson was a 14th rounder, so that would cost a 4th for Dak (1 round) and a 12th for Hockenson (2 rounds).

No, not bad at all. Basically, 2 starters locked in without losing a top 3 pick.

In going to keep David Montgomery lose my 5th and Antonio Gibson and loss  my 9th. 

That's highway robbery, I wanted Gibson last year, but waited too long (obviously). I should've taken in him in the 7-8th.

According to (experts) they are both #2 RBs but I think both could finish top 12. In one league last year I ended up with McCaffery and Michel Thomas making me think I would easily make the playoffs. Both failed. You never know how things work out.

Montgomery is a top 5 back and Gibson has huge upside. The QB situation in WAS is the only thing that is concerning and that would impact him.

 

I added a Keeper Tracker at the end of the first post.

Are you sure you want to give up a 10th Rounder for him?

Gents about 10 days until GM confirmation. We need 3 more to respond and make payment. If you know anyone in the league, please remind them. I am starting to send out reminders via email.

Confirmed/Paid: Adam, Andrew, Ary, Brad, Duane, David, and Kam

Not Confirmed/Unpaid: Jason, Steve (Mongo), and Nopper.

Gotcha.  Thanks!  I paid today as well.

Ok, we are down to one more GM and we are all paid for the 2021 season. Does anyone have contact with Jason? He was a new add last year and is our last GM to confirm for this season.

Does anyone have contact with Jason/Jay (Team: Nips&Tips)? We are nearing the deadline for renewal and if he is not participating we need to find a new GM before the draft.
