[idea] Daily Fantasy Football

I really like our NFL Picks competition we have. I would like to expand this to a Daily Fantasy Football. The concept (if you're not familiar) is you get a salary (e.g. $60,000) that you get to spend on QB, RB, WR, TE, D, etc ... and you have to stay within budget.

Draft Kings and FleaFlicker have something like this. BUT, I want to have it for our members. It would be FREE, no charge. Just a Weekly football competition.

Anyone have interest in this or nah?

The government goes over budget without any repercussions....and the broncos go over budget and get to back to back superbowls....so why should I have to follow a budget in this?

The concept sounds interesting, but I'd like more information.

When would a new season begin for this new fantasy game ?
Is there an auction Draft and does one season carry over to the next? Do players have a chance at a fresh start each year?
Who would be the commissioner Zero, you ?
You say free, but some leagues ask a small fee to finance the champions trophies, will this apply here?
I understand the time required to run/play in a standard fantasy league. This sounds more time demanding and while some will keep up the work required, others WILL find it more than they bargained for and desert when your not looking. Who would step in and run that/these abandoned teams?
Is there a way to observe another similar league of this type league in progress?

No YAYS or NAYS, just would like more information. Thank you.

I'm in.

Never have done one like this.
Would be good experience if I ever wanted to spend a little money online.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Here's an example of what it would look like.

We would all sign up to a website similar to how you already do for Fantasy Football e.g. ESPN, FleaFlicker, Yahoo, etc ... except this would be for daily fantasy football.

No money would ever be involved. No fees, nothing.

In the perfect world, we have 17 weeks of winners and the person with the most wins at the end of the season gets named Champion. Just like we do for NFL Picks and FleaFlicker.

dfosterf (6h) : We do have good depth at running back imo. Still so frustrating. Bitching about it is a futile excercise, which I plan to do anyway.

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Whoops, I thought Zero was saying it was a surprise the Brewers lost and not Lloyd being hurt

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Not a surprise; inevitable

Zero2Cool (22h) : Brewers streak ends at 14

Zero2Cool (23h) : SURPRISE

Mucky Tundra (17-Aug) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on MarShawn Lloyd: “He’s gonna miss some time.”

Mucky Tundra (16-Aug) : CLIFFORD WITH THE TD WITH UNDER 2 TO GO!!!!!

Zero2Cool (16-Aug) : 90 MINUTES UNTIL FAKE KICKOFF!!

Martha Careful (16-Aug) : I think Ruven is a bot, but regardless should be stricken from the site.

Zero2Cool (14-Aug) : Packers RB Josh Jacobs ranked No. 33 in NFL 'Top 100'

dfosterf (13-Aug) : The LVN Musgrave collision- Andy Herman said Musgrave seemed to be the one most impacted injury-wise

dfosterf (13-Aug) : a lower back injury

dfosterf (13-Aug) : Doubs says he's "fine" after injury scare. Some reported it as z

Mucky Tundra (13-Aug) : With LVN that is; need to see what happens in the next practice

Mucky Tundra (13-Aug) : beast, reading about what happened, it sounded like one of those "two guys collide and are moving slow afterwards" type of deals

beast (12-Aug) : I believe Musgrave has been injured every single season since at least a Sophomore in highschool

packerfanoutwest (12-Aug) : Matt LaFleur: “Highly unlikely” Jordan Love plays more this preseason

dfosterf (12-Aug) : Doubs, Savion Williams, LVN, Musgrave all banged up to one degree or another, missing one here I forget

Zero2Cool (12-Aug) : RB Tyrion Davis-Price is signing with the Green Bay Packers.

Zero2Cool (12-Aug) : zero help, dominated. preseason

beast (12-Aug) : QB Jordan Love has surgery

beast (12-Aug) : Martha said Morgan had a lot of help, I didn't watch the OL so I can't say.

Zero2Cool (10-Aug) : Packers LT Jordan Morgan did not allow a single pressure across 23 pass-blocking snaps vs. Jets last night, per PFF

Mucky Tundra (10-Aug) : With buckeye and the reasonable couple, we're currently sitting at 10

buckeyepackfan (10-Aug) : Just posted to re-up on our FFL.

Zero2Cool (10-Aug) : If healthy after, then thats all I care. Well, no drops would be nice

wpr (10-Aug) : I made it through the 1st Q.

dfosterf (10-Aug) : Just gotta figure out how.

dfosterf (10-Aug) : Could have been a worse start, so there is that.

beast (10-Aug) : Yeah, someone tell the Packers football season has started, seems like they weren't ready for it

Mucky Tundra (10-Aug) : Sooooooo many penalties

Mucky Tundra (10-Aug) : It may only be preseason, but this game is a trip to the dentist

Zero2Cool (10-Aug) : Packers do bad -- FREAK OUT!!!!!!

Zero2Cool (10-Aug) : Packers do good -- eh only preseason

dfosterf (10-Aug) : Well that half was fun

Zero2Cool (10-Aug) : Great, zayne is down

Zero2Cool (9-Aug) : 13 minutes away from kickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkoffff

Zero2Cool (9-Aug) : Had Celebration of Life for my uncle up north. wicked rain hope it dont come south

Mucky Tundra (9-Aug) : THE GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE PLAYING FOOTBALL TONIGHT!!!!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!!

Zero2Cool (9-Aug) : Woo-hoo

TheKanataThrilla (9-Aug) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress
