July 3, 20214 yr comment_185277 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 Report

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. Report

July 16, 20214 yr comment_185380 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. Report

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.

We are nearing the deadline for renewal and if he is not participating we need to find a new GM before the draft. Report
