Contest - Salary Cap league

Duce has never been a good fantasy back.

True.  But as we well know, that had little to do with his ability, effort, or performance.  I think he'll be a bona fide stud this year as the featured back.

I take it you drafted him as well.

[Diomedes]

Yeah, you're right.  I said that just because I drafted Duce.   

[RomeyRome]

I'm not saying that your opinion is that only because you drafted, but would you take the time to post it in this fantasy thread had you not?

[Diomedes]

Yeah, I would.  Jesus, man.

No offense to Duce, but I will be amazed if he puts up worthwhile numbers.

[DonovanTheMessiah]

I'll join.

Count me in, if it isn't too late.

Question about the salary cap league. 

If one of the players we boughts price goes up, meaning we bought him at a cheaper price, do we get that money added to our cap?  Meaning if someone buys James Thrash and he goes out and has 4 TD, 200 yrd receiving game and his price shoots up, can you sell him and get that increase money, essentially "raising" your spending cap.

[MURP]

i certainly hope not.

In the ESPN league, whatever you paid for the player, his cap stays at that number.  If you release him and sign someone else, and then try to pick him up again later, you have to pay his updated cap number.

It becomes interesting when the bye weeks start.

So when you release him you just get the money back that you initiailly spent on him, not what his current market value would be?

[MURP]

correct.

[mikey418]

correct.

That sucks.  So the only value of picking up someone with potential (a la Javon Walker with the Pack) would be that you get him initially at a lower price and thus have a better team when his cap numbers go up, since you got him cheap.

[MURP]

there are many ways to look at it.

NB, you started this league, you better investigate this and get back to the league how the rules work.  When I hit the link for the rules it was no longer available.  Every salary cap league I've ever participated worked the way Mikey suggested, meaning your total $$ to spend changes with your roster's value.   I chose cheap sleepers banking on those rules.....

Salary Cap: $100.00
Current Team Value: $80.31
Available Cap Room: $19.69

Expect a reply NB before Sundays games....
