Hey, Sack Pack

Week Three is already underway. Hopefully you saw the tweet from Sack Pack or the reminder from the Yahoo! app or just remembered because you love, live, and breathe Fantasy Football and set your lineup prior to the start of the Thursday night game. It was a rough night for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but hopefully the Khan family can take comfort in their AEW success. But even if you forgot, it’s okay because it looks like most people didn’t have players in the Thursday night game anyway... unless they were neglectfully benched .

Grats go out to this week’s champions: The Astrocats, Newbie Newton, mitch’s Team, Snootchie Boochies, Backus To The Future, and Shady Bradys! Backus To The Future racked up an amazing 180+ points this week to bring home the Biggest Blowout of the Week award, winning by a massive 51+ points! Only Newbie Newton and The Astrocats remain undefeated this season.

Grats to the undefeated: Amazons, The Astrocats, Oakland Vaders, Regis Island, Go Birds, and Newbie Newton! And super-grats to the number one: Go Birds! who accumulated a massive amount of points this week. If you’re not in the winners’ circle this week, just keep in mind that half the teams have to lose each week. It just wasn’t your turn. I recommend sacrificing a nerf football to the fantasy football gods before Thursday in case you’ve angered them in some unknown way. And if you do that, please post it on something. We want to see that. Week One tends to be a bit of a gamble for projections. Now that some expectations have been met or missed, competition and self-second guessing is sure to ramp up.

Week 1 of the 2020 season is here, and for us in the Sack Pack, it’s been an extra long road to return. This could be a crazier season than usual, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but hopefully all involved come through healthy and we’ll roll with whatever changes come along. Remember this moment. You’re currently undefeated this season. Be sure to set your lineups, coaches.

  Draft happened! Good luck in the upcoming season!

I hope you're all doing well and staying safe AF. I'm sorry for the late information on the Fantasy Football season, but it's really difficult to know if there is going to be a season and plan anything. Currently we have 6 teams this season so we will have a season, if there is a season. A few of you have been sent reminders to join the Yahoo app to confirm participation today by visiting the link in the email or confirming on the app or website. If you're opting out of the season, please let me know so that I can adjust the settings for the league. Due to COVID-19, we will be doing a live online only draft this season. It is currently scheduled for 2PM on Sunday, August 30. If that time/date is not good for a few folks we can adjust it, but if we're not able to reach a consensus, we may have to default to an autodraft. All the best,  Commissioner of Sack Pack  

Invitations to our 2020 season have gone out. Because we lapsed the 2019 season, you will need to reconfirm your participation through Yahoo. Draft is tentatively scheduled for August 29th. This will be our first season allowing for remote drafting. Be sure to confirm your participation by July 1st. This will give the league time to find a new participant if you do not wish to continue in the league.
