Sorry for DP, but...

Just over 2 hours until the draft! Everyone ready?

That was exhilarating

I think I have a pretty solid team this year. One of my better drafts, if I do say so myself.

If you guys want, I can do draft rankings and all that. I don't know if Skittles is doing it so...

The site gives automatic grades in a report card. But it gave me an A+, so I'm not sure how accurate it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Might as well release it; I'd love to see what ESPN thought of each of our drafts.

Hint: The closer your draft was to the pre-draft rankings, the higher the grade it gives you. Half of my other league autodrafted and they all got As or Bs -- I got like a D minus or something despite drafting my whole team

so Anthony and Skittles, who autopicked the whole draft, should be at/near the top

I'd like to see Skittle do his own draft grades for everyone. That's always interesting.

I don't think I'm gonna do that this year. Someone else can though.

Well, I can't wait to see what you come up with, LGM.

Ya, had to autopick the whole team cause of reffing a soccer tournament lol. Team looks pretty solid though.

MLBPPWorld Fantasy League Week One Recap

Three Rivers Wildcats (dishnet34) 97
@
Marc Trestman's Toolbox (GoTwins24) 95

Summary
A dominant performance by Carlos Hyde last night (29 points) made things close, but the Wildcats, who led 54-0 (Gronk and Brady both had 27 points) after Thursday night's game, never gave up the large lead. This was the closest game of the week. Had GoTwins not left Bishop Sankey (20 points) on his bench, he would have pulled off the upset.

Ravenous Hamsters (AnthonyP) 85
@
Atomic Pickles (AgentP) 88

Summary
Agent was able to get a "Walk-off" victory thanks to Adrian Peterson's 5 points last night. AnthonyP started two players that managed to score 0 points (DeSean Jackson, Sammy Watkins) and benched Danny Woodhead, who scored 18. Two very close games to start the weekly recap.

New Jersey Eagles (philliesfan134) 108
@
Team Griffith (jag123jg) 84

Summary
The Eagles beat Team Griffith thanks to 22 points from the Panthers defense, and a 26 point effort by Julio Jones to put the game away last night. jag started 4 players who managed double-digit points, but also had 4 players that scored under 5 points. He also has Ray Rice on his bench AND the worst team name. Shame on you, jag.

Back Alley Crackheads (LetsGoMets77) 63
@
Humongous Melonheads (detroittigers15) 122

Summary
The Crackheads got busted as they were dealt an absolute beatdown at the hands of the Melonheads, who led the league in scoring this week with 122 points. 7 of 9 starters scored double digit points for dtigers, including two (Tony Romo and Tyler Eifert) who scored over 20. The Crackheads started the only player in the league (Adam Vinatieri) who managed to score negative points.

Rampant Rhinoceroses (Prediction) 118
@
Tom Brady Isn't Hitler (SkittleMonster) 51

Summary
In the most lopsided game of the week, Prediction ran over Skittles, then got out of the car, and beat Skittles mercilessly. No player on Skittle's team managed to score double-digit points, the only time this occurred in the league. Prediction didn't score the most points in the league, but no player on his team scored under 7 points, including 6 players with double digit scores.
