I have an afternoon flight. Should be home and in front of a computer at draft time Sunday but it's not a certainty. If I end up going auto draft then I apologize. Also my team will be garbage but I'll try to bounce back.

No worries. You could try to set up your draft board ahead of time.

How does everyone feel about their own teams?
Who do you think has the best and worst teams?

I'll admit it, I made some big mistakes. Pretty obvious from my roster where I went wrong. One thing that threw me off was I charted my picks by round on the assumption I'd be somewhere in the middle. Instead they dropped me in second, which I didn't know until I signed in at 7:59 EST. I hate going very early or very late in the snake because you know after every other selection you're not getting back on the board for another 16-18 picks, so I end up spooking myself out and reaching for guys I think might not be there by then. Oh well, it's a long season, plenty of time to bounce back.

So the league was supposed to randomize the draft order an hour before the draft, but that didn't happen for some reason. The result was that we picked by the order we joined the league. That meant me going first, which I don't think went too well. The first pick is great, not picking again until 24/25 wasn't. I missed a ton of RBs and WR2s. Oh well, overall I'm not too upset with my team. Excited to get the season going!

Shaky first week for ESPN's fantasy setup. The whole site was down for most of the day Sunday. I hope that didn't screw up anyone's last minute tinkering.

On a personally note, my team was utterly bailed out by Larry Fitzgerald and Antonio Brown. But I'll take it, 1-0!

One would think ESPN would have figured out the preparation by now. It's been several years in a row with nightmarish server issues.

Tough week 2 for me. It appears my team will live and die by Antonio Brown. Week 1 he was awesome, I won. This week he was terrible and I got crushed. Also didn't help that Russell Wilson got all of 11 points while Matt Ryan racked up 33 on my bench. :eek:

Finally remembered to snap a pic of our epic trophy. That's right, the winner of our league will be crowned "Elite Champion". Pretty impressive stuff, and definitely not just a trophy I had laying around.

Also, I have three pretty decent TEs (Ebron, Walker, and Barnidge) and am willing to offload one. Looking for an RB2 but will listen to all offers :thumb:

Congrats uofi09! Really thought I had an unstoppable squad this year but Rodgers and Johnson just demolished me! The trophy is yours! PM me your address and I can send it to you.
