Hey guys, we've been looking into hosting a weekly private NFL league for Betting Talk members. There's a few options out there for us in terms of sites to join which have a pretty good setup.
We'd like to gauge how much interest there would be in being part of something like this. No commitment needed right now, but if you think you might be interested in playing in a weekly NFL contest with us (for the entire season), just leave a note in this thread to let us know.
Also, if you played in a weekly league last season, let us know where you played and the things you liked/disliked about it. Feel free to ask any questions, as well.

I am using a combination of data from several sites. Pro-football-reference, fftoday.com and ESPN. ESPN has decent "against" stats and their team D stats are good for fantasy purposes. Teamrankings also has some good stuff too.
Right now I am only using previous data to project but I'll probably rope in some site's fantasy projections as well. I want to incorporate DVOA or DYAR as well but I haven't yet found a good way to go about it as it is kind of an abstract concept. Those are found on football outsiders.
There are obvious flaws with only using past data (team change, big FA signings, draft class, new coach) but I haven't yet found the best way to go about it. I have a major hardon for ZIPS projections with incorporate 3-4 years of past data while adjusting for "luck" and aging trends amongst similar players. However, baseball is infinitely more quantifiable than football so the challenge is quite large.
We'll be doing a Daily Fantasy league. If you're interested in a season long league on Yahoo, cpech56 was looking at getting one going over in this thread.
Got absolutely zero interest in my thread about that idea so I am going to pass and let you know that I am interested in joining your group playing daily. Keep me posted- Thanks Parker
