MEFI FANT FOOT August 14, 2024 5:01 AM Subscribe
It's that time again: Is anyone interested in Metafilter Fantasy (American) Football for the upcoming NFL season? All of the fun of football, translated into numbers a computer can understand!
Yahoo has done one of its periodic refreshes, meaning that the former league's chat seems to have been shut down. But I'm hoping to get 10 teams together, half PPR, and to enjoy another year of pun-filled team names, positively genteel trash talk, and watching waiver wire players churn like TikTok dances.
If you haven't done it before, it takes about an hour of time per week, and about an hour on draft day.
If enough folks are interested and the old Commish hasn't set up a league by end of day Wednesday, I'll start one and post the invite here.

Can I join the league if I won’t be around for the live draft? I’m happy to be at the whims of the autodrafter.

Yeah, that's no problem.
Also: Anyone who joins is entered in a $1 million sweepstakes, apparently. By Yahoo, not me. I don't have a million dollars. But if you win, you could definitely save Metafilter for uh the next 20 years or so, right?

We're at 9 players, and I'd love to get to 10 for a league. Otherwise, I might just make an autodraft dummy. But if any of y'all have a friend you think would be fun to play with, send them the link

AWESOME RESPONSE
WE ARE NOW AT 11
DO I HEAR 12? CAN WE GET ONE MORE MEMBER TO MAKE IT AN EVEN LEAGUE WITHOUT AN AUTODRAFT DUMMY
(NOTE: CURRENT LEAGUE MAX IS 16, SO IF TWO PEOPLE JOIN I WILL BE REPEATING A CALL FOR ONE MORE MEMBER)
If y'all are interested, I think I can probably swing a donation to Metafilter of $5 per player who finishes the season active.

Thanks again for setting this up, Josh. I look forward to repeating this year!
Will be moving my son into his dorm during the draft so will be at the whims of the autodraft again this year. Hoping for another fun season!

Yahoo will force us to use an autodraft dummy team if we have an odd number, so if y'all know anyone, get at 'em
