I want in.  Looking forward to it. 

Believe it or not I already had you locked in. 😂😂😂😂

The 2023 NFL football season is fast approaching and as I have in the previous years I have hosted a weekly FanDuel group for all interested participants.  

$10 a week.  Pays out the top 2-3 depending on group size.   I should have room for up to 20 people a week.  

Let me know if you want in. Either way I will likely be posting the weekly group link here in this thread throughout the season    

Thank you!  Y’all have a nice day. ✌️

Any idea if this has been asked before and if the results are trending in either direction?

It seems and feels like every year it is getting more traction. I won't predict when it will happen but I expect it to happen at some point in the future.  

St. Xavier

Bowling Green 

Lexington Christian Academy 

Owensboro Catholic 

Mayfield 

This game is about to be bananas, huh? 

Good way to start the game.  

Just did a mock draft trying a new strategy out.  I drafted my starters first, excluding the kicker, and then filled up my bench.  Most folks were on auto pick so that kind of ruins the validity of it but I’d like thoughts nonetheless.  Lol.  
 

In my big money league I draft 11th so this is me picking 11th   Davante was my first pick   Garrett Wilson was my second choice   Passed on Henry, Jacobs and Chubb.

Someone from here should set up a cheap ($20-$50) league on one of the free league manager sites.   Do the draft online.  Use one of the cash apps to handle the money.  I bet it would be easy to recruit 8-16 BGP members to fill the league.  And one more thing, I would play, but I don’t want to run it.   Which is probably a popular opinion. 

The BGP League was the most challenging season long fantasy league I ever played in.  Hate we don’t have it anymore.   
 

I’d be down to play but I ain’t running it.  Lol.

Yeah the Lexington hype machine is just on overdrive man. Everything will get straightened out by Labor Day weekend!

I’ll be watching!

A little of both?

I'd lean towards giving FD more credit than saying Louisville is down. Trinity obviously hasn't been themselves, but I think everyone else is where they normally are. I'm loving the parity to be honest. 

I feel you. I haven’t paid as much attention these past couple of years so I was curious.  I knew Freddy D finally sealed the deal last year but to see them move up to 6A and be the #1 team in 6A is absolutely HUGE for Lexington HS football.  
 

Is Louisville football down or is Freddy D that good?   

Trinity

Woodford County 

Bowling Green 

Archbishop Hoban(OH)

Ashland

Yeah, last year with Zeke paid and healthy. I really only took him as a trade opportunity if Zeke went down, then when he did, I couldn’t let Pollard go. 

Yeah I feel that.

For the sake of conversation, I also drafted Brian Robinson of The Football Team a round after Pacheco. What are the thoughts on Pollard in 7, Pacheco in 12, and Robinson forever at 13.

I think that leaves at least two of my other keepers in play in the first three rounds, with Lamb probably the odd man out, even though I would likely have to “reach” for Chubb at 1.03 and Tee at 2.10, 

I’m still early in my research so I can’t give an informed answer.  Pollard went 7th round?  

Ahhhhh, the most wonderful time of the year.  The ending of summer and the beginning of football and then basketball.   Fantasy sports, DFS and coming real soon…gambling.   Let’s get this money fellas!!!!!

I am in a few leagues but not as many as I used to be in.  I’m in a couple of free ones with co workers and my son.  My main league is a money league that is $150 to enter.  There are 12 of us.  
 

.5 PPR

.1 per pass completed 

.2 per rushing attempt 

QB points are not chopped 

1 point per 20 yards passed 

Bonus points for long TDs

Bonus points for 300+ and 400+ yards passing 

Bonus points for 200+ rushing/receiving yards

Yards allowed is rewarded and punished on defense

It’s high scoring and highly competitive league.  

Skins are paid out each week.  $50 for the weekly winner of the Skins category. 
 

Craziest year-2019

I won the league with a record of 5-8. 
 

I suffered the biggest blowout of the year.  242.7-134.4.  Biggest Blowout Win is a Skin category.  
 

My roster was injured from week 1 until about week 10.  Suddenly everyone got healthy and I went on a run to squeeze into the playoffs and ultimately win the league.  
 

The guy I faced in the finals was the guy who defeated me 242-7-134.4.  I got the last laugh.  That year was awesome. 
 

That year also highlighted that it is important to prepare and draft properly in fantasy football.  There is no way to control the injuries but I have more stories of my injured teams getting healthy and winning titles than I do of teams that dominated the regular season and then lose in the playoffs.  Very rarely will I dominate the regular season and playoffs so I always focus on making the playoffs and letting the chips fall where they may.   
 

Good luck this season fellas.  
 

And yes, I will absolutely be running my FanDuel group as always.  I still love DFS way more than regular fantasy.  
 

I can’t wait for us to start our gambling thread so we can tail each other on our parlays.  😂😂😂😂

Thanks fellas!!! I truly appreciate it!!

Happy Birthday to my guy @PurplePride92! Hope it's one of the best yet!

Loving the emblems! Lol. 

He’s on the right team to fulfill his potential.  

Nice pic!  I hope all is well your way, old friend! 

Smh

Will do!

The Yardhouse is nice and roomy.  I like the Fishbowl but I liked it better before they doubled the size of it.  My favorite down there is Jefferson Social because it is pretty low key.

I’ll keep that in mind next time we are up there.  I am certain we will be up to watch Elly again real soon!!!

Where did you go at the Banks?

We hung outside The Yardhouse mostly chilling in the lawn out back of the restaurant.  We got our drinks from The Fishbowl and they let us leave with them.

Sorry I missed that opportunity to meet you!

Same here!  Would have been cool

as hell and a long time coming! 

Was at the awesome Reds game last Friday and then hung out around The Banks with a friend who had family at the concert.  Outstanding time and the Swifties won me over that night.  I’ll likely never play her music but Taylor gained a fan in me.
