I’ve spent the entire offseason rounding up the who’s who of the fantasy football industry. You see, I needed to boost 50 cars in 72 hours to keep my kid brother from getting murdered by a scary mobster. Wait, that was the plot from Gone in 60 Seconds. Sometimes I get my life confused with Nicolas Cage movies. One day I’ll have to tell you about the whole Face Off debacle; what a mess! Anyway, I felt a lot like Memphis Raines rounding up his car theft crew when I was recruiting this all star cast for the Razzball Dynasty Best Ball League: a 12-team, half PPR league featuring a 28-player roster and starting lineups consisting of 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 2 FLEX and no defense or kickers. If you’re unfamiliar with the glorious best ball format, it’s a league format designed for minimal in season management, where the computer will select your optimal starting lineup each week AFTER that week’s NFL games have been played.
Here’s the full star studded list of industry participants and the league’s official draft order:
1. Michael Salfino | The Athletic
2. Dalton Del Don | Yahoo
3. Pat Fitzmaurice | The Football Guys & The Football Girl
4. Rudy Gamble | Razzball
5. Dave Richard | CBS
6. Donkey Teeth | Razzball
7. Jake Ciely | The Athletic
8. Heath Cummings | CBS
9. Nando Di Fino | The Athletic
10. Andy Behrens | Yahoo
11. Scott Pianowski | Yahoo
12. Brandon Myers | Razzball
We’re now about halfway through our 28-round draft, and today I’ll be recapping the first round which was full of wheeling and dealing—that’s right, we allow trades in our dynasty best ball league!
Please, blog, may I have some more?
