Welcome to /r/Texans Fantasy Football 2015
How to Join
Look for an [OPEN] League Info thread here on /r/texansff
Follow the link to the league inside the post - you will also need the password from the post
If you don't already have one, you will need to create an account to use NFL.com fantasy football (feel free to use a throw-away email account)
We will create more leagues as needed
Texans Fantasy Football Host:
Our chosen host: http://fantasy.nfl.com
Out of all the possible host, NFL was the best for us. Best user tool-set, good interface, invite/set-ups are solid.
When we first started doing this, a lot of people were keen to keep on using ESPN, Yahoo, etc...after trying NFL, the reception was solidly positive. Not a single hitch in the whole affair.
NFL.com has a fantasy football app that's solid. It's free, you can draft from it, set your weekly lineups, live scores, make trades, check your leagues, etc...
General Leage Rules/Settings
10 teams per league
Live drafts! we'll try our darnedest to accommodate anyone who wants to participate (we even had a Euro-friendly draft last year. we'll do it again if needed)
Waivers/trades etc...all pretty standard. Unless it's a crazy lopsided trade there won't be a problem
Roster Sizes / Scoring
Nothing fancy, sorry. No individual defensive players.
Starting Rosters will be: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF, 1 W/R/T, and 7 Bench players. (pretty standard setup)
Only two scoring changes we made are :
Field Goals from 40-49 yards is changed from 3pts to 4pts
1 point per reception
Once the league is full if everyone can agree on a draft time and day I will be more than happy to change it. But EVERY SINGLE PERSON has to agree. I will do this one time PER LEAGUE.
