For the first time I am very pleased with my draft results! (Which isn't to say it's the first time I've had good results. The last two seasons I had very good results in hindsight, but at the start I wasn't impressed because I don't know anything about this as I've always admitted. But this season I'm on board right away.) I got several of the names on my list to my surprise, and the autodraft picks after them look quite good. Other than where it decided to completely waste a round by picking someone who is going to be out for at minimum literally half the season. I really can't believe it did that. Like I really can't believe it. But on the whole this is definitely a positive initial roster to start building my lineup from. And I got my main man Rodgers for the fifth year! He is definitely my franchise QB.

Scoring question: If a team tries a field goal and there's a bad snap or something and they abandon it and try to convert instead, does that go down as a failed kick for the kicker? I wouldn't think so, the play should change into a fake even though it wasn't intentional which isn't on the kicker (right?) but I'm not sure because their scoring makes some other illogical choices.

EDIT Week 3: Somehow AE and I managed to have more points on our bench than in our starting lineups.
I saw that and was stunned. At least we know we have depth.

I would have won if I had started my bench players.

We have incredible parity this season... currently five teams with a record of 5-5.

CON vs AE is the third tie in league history and the second under the Bench Points tie breaking rules.
Interestingly the rule change from most Quarterback points wins to most bench points wins hasn't made a difference in either game that was tied since that change.
