I'd love to do a dynasty league, it would be good fun I think.

I'm also a fan of the offline draft, partly because I don't think I'd be able to set aside the time to set up my draft order and also complete a live draft unless it was between 9pm and 12am one night once the kids, and wife, are in bed..... Could it be completed in 3 hours?

I have to say I've enjoyed the 16 team league this year, it made me more inclined to offer trades as I knew I couldn't just pick up someone off the waivers. It puts more emphasis on good drafting, but it is pretty hard to change things if you are struggling. If we could drum up 6 - 8 more players then we could do two 12 team leagues next year, some of us could put two teams in, I'd be willing to go for a second team.

My work draft was completed in 36 minutes. All you need to do is print out a cheat sheet or two from your favourite fantasy football site, pick the players you want and then join the online draft. As players get picked, strike them off your cheat sheet. You can also participate in mock drafts to get an idea of what round certain players will be picked in so you can time your picks perfectly. For example, why pick Tom Brady in the first round when he is typically getting picked in round six? Of course mock drafts are not perfect, they're just a useful tool to help you,

Good drafting is obviously important but you can't predict injuries. If you you lose any of your first picks early on to injury, you're in trouble since sleepers don't really show their value until a few weeks have passed making wavier wire pickups risky (but also you're only option).
