*Blinks* Fasano's your starting TE? Good luck with that one. I'll put the stuff on site whenever Ciato picks, and I'll just whap people before the season starts/etc. Should be fun!

Oh yeah, less.

ZING!

He also had like half the catches. Fasano I wouldn't count on at all, he was too fluky from week to week.

Not as far as I know, Scar? I haven't looked at settings too closely. But it just means Witten will get far more looks and chances to score than Fasano.

I'll look at settings as soon as I'm done putting the draft in (I'm 3 out of 8 right now). They can be adjusted however people want.

Yeah, the scoring's not PPR, just more targets generally means more yards and touchdowns.

Results entered, etc. I didn't bother putting it in precise draft order, but everyone has their players.

Witten and Fasano's numbers last year are similar enough where I don't care. Less yards more Tds, it evened out give or take a few points. Not enough for me to care though. Plus Fasano was a number 2 TE and showed promise being the featured player....plus Pennington doesn't have a rocket so I feel he might show a young TE more lovin now that the two of them have some chemistry.

Plus, if he is a bust there's loads of Tight Ends readily available for me to pick up any time I choose. TE was not a important piece of this well trained machine anyways.

Fasano was functionally the 1. David Martin is a bad joke as starting TE (I've been there, he's a former Packer.)

Witten should get enough looks with TO gone to make the high pick worth it. I reached on him and the Steelers defense, but they were also clearely the best options for the positions.

Oh, speaking of league rules, is there any restriction on which players you're allowed to trade? I know some systems prevent you from cutting a first-round pick, and if the picks weren't entered in order I can see that causing problems, of the "what do you mean I can't cut my backup TE" variety.

If possibly, get rid of the decimals?

Fixed.

Questions now:

Do you want points per receptions? Per completion?
