I talked to Whoami about running a second game for the NFL season and she was cool with it, so here it is. This is a very simplified version of Fantasy Football. All you have to do each week is pick the following:- 1 Quarterback
- 1 Running Back
- 1 Wide Receiver
You will receive points in various categories based on that weeks performance by those players. The points for each category will range from 0 to 5 and are described at the end of this post. There will be 40 points available each week. Just a couple of rules:- You may only use a player once during the entire season.
- The same player may be chosen by multiple people in the same week.
- Picks need to be made before the start of the first game each week.
- Quarterbacks will only count for passing statistics.
- Running Backs will only count for rushing statistics.
- Wide Receivers will only count for receiving statistics.
Quarterback Points
| | | | | Yards Passing | Points | 300 | 5 | 275 | 4 | 250 | 3 | 225 | 2 | 200 | 1 | | | | | | Yards Per Pass Attempt | Points | 9.0 | 5 | 8.0 | 4 | 7.0 | 3 | 6.0 | 2 | 5.0 | 1 | | | | | | Completion Percentage | Points | 65% | 5 | 60% | 4 | 55% | 3 | 50% | 2 | 45% | 1 | | Running Back Points
| | | | | Yards Rushing | Points | 120 | 5 | 100 | 4 | 80 | 3 | 60 | 2 | 40 | 1 | | | | | | Yards Per Rush Attempt | Points | 5.00 | 5 | 4.75 | 4 | 4.50 | 3 | 4.25 | 2 | 4.00 | 1 | | Wide Receiver Points
| | | | | Yards Receiving | Points | 120 | 5 | 100 | 4 | 80 | 3 | 60 | 2 | 40 | 1 | | | | | | Yards Per Recption | Points | 18.0 | 5 | 16.0 | 4 | 14.0 | 3 | 12.0 | 2 | 10.0 | 1 | | Touchdowns and Interceptions:- You will get 1 point for each touchdown scored by your player.
- You will lose 1 point for each interception thrown by your quarterback.
- Maximum points is 5.
- Minimum points is 0.
I'd like to use the preseason to work out the kinks and then reset everything for the regular season. I just made a quick guess at the point ranges, so those may get adjusted at the end of the preseason. If you are interested in giving it a try, just post your players in this thread before the first game, which is Thursday, August 9th. If this takes off, I'll have the mods create folders similar to Whoami's game. Please post any comments and suggestions in this thread.

Since pre-season is an "iron out the kinks" period, can we start fresh with our players when the regular season kicks in. Or, if we pick someone in the pre-season, then are the out of commission for the regular season too?

Bob sounds like fun. Can't play the preseason but would be interested once regular season starts. One question: Can I assume it is not compulsory to change any players picked each week and the same 3 could be kept for several weeks at a time?

Whoami: Everything starts clean with the regular season, so you don't have to worry about anyone you use during the preseason. Wink: The big kicker is that you can only use each player once during the entire season, so you will have to pick different players each week or get no points. Otherwise some people <...cough...granny...cough,,,> would always pick the same Quarterback! Grannyg: You are guaranteed to pick a week were Peyton gets you 0 points.

The 2nd and 3rd team players should be the stars of the preseason. Hopefully it won't be to hard to locate the stats during preseason.

Change away. All preseason points will be thrown out at the start of the real games. This will just force me to get my charts built and figure out how to track and report the results.

According to Bob's post above:
quote:Just a couple of rules: You may only use a player once during the entire season. The same player may be chosen by multiple people in the same week. Picks need to be made before the start of the first game each week. Quarterbacks will only count for passing statistics. Running Backs will only count for rushing statistics. Wide Receivers will only count for receiving statistics.
According to the third point, they should be in before tonight's game. ETA, Oh sure Lycan. Be quick and to the point while I'm messing around with formatting, and beat me to the punch!!

The helpers are correct and tonight if the cutoff for preseason week 1. Thanks for the help. Remember, you may pick players that are already being used by another poster, as long as you have never used that player before. Feel free to play any week, even if you miss some. The main rankings will be based on total score, but I think I'll keep a second set of rankings based on average score just for weeks played. That way if people miss a week or 2 they can still see how they compare without the 0's skewing their score. Of course, there will also be the weekly high score rankings, so everyone can have a chance at winning each week.
