    I'm on my tenth season in our league. I find it pretty fun. Just wondering if anyone else is into it. It would be fun to discuss the whole concept. To me its made me look at the NFL totally differently. Now I root for teams and watch games I never would have before.

    Thanks in advance for any responses...

    I still haven't figured out how you play Fantasy Football - always been curious about it.

    QB- Aaron Rodgers
    RB- Ahmad Bradshaw
    RB- Frank Gore
    WR - Marques Colston
    WR - Greg Jennings
    WR- Darius Heyward-Bey
    TE- Vernon Davis
    K - Jason Hansen

    QB- Big Ben Roethlisberger

    How many teams are in your league? I have a team and my roster is way worse, but it's a 16-team league so the talent pool gets depleted way quicker.

    We go winner last, new guy first, everyone else where we finished... Draft is about 3-4 hours of draft, all fun, as we have been separated by distance and circumstances... Cool to be all together for a few hours... We started my freshman year of college, so it has always been fun!

    Cool! My league is all old buds from HS and newbies, but they defer to us, and are all cool anyway! Good luck this season!

    The league I am in perennially is trying to figure out a new way to set up the draft. Normally we just do random order snake, but some people complain about it not giving the people that finished last a chance. By the way, it's not a keeper league. Your draft sounds pretty good. After last year's winner drafts, do you snake it so he/she gets the first pick in the next round or is it more NFL draft-style?

    We go last season and bump all newbies two or three slots... Champ is last, put the newbies somewhere in the middle... I've been in the same league like 10 years now, newbies get 5-6 slots on draft normally... Unless we all figure we don't like them and give them 9 or 10...

    Its actually fun, you watch all the games you have players in and care a lot more... More than just watching YOUR team, but you have to pay attention all week on injuries and stuff....
