He may be out 6-8 weeks.

Preseason Projection Ranking

Just for laughs, I thought I would use Yahoo!'s projected 2009 stats to rank the Hazelweird teams. All I did was add up the projected season stats for the starting lineups you all have set up for week one (note: Nate has no starters, so I guessed at a starting lineup based on Yahoo!'s highest projected stats at each position). You don't get any benefit for depth, then: this is a preseason ranking based solely on Yahoo!'s season-long projections for your current starters.

1. Bryan 1,126.92
2. Kiah 1,120.28
3. Abe 1,100.38
4. Brad 1,086.92
5. Justin 1,069.8
6. Jerod 1,038.11
7. Jon 1,030.42
8. Joe 1,028.64
9. Nathan 1,020.08

Injury!

Donnie Avery is out for 4-6 weeks (Football Outsiders, Rotoworld, St. Louis Post-Dispatch). If it becomes official he'll miss the opener, Nathan gets a nice little free agent pickup.

Auction Details

I won't review the whole auction process here. Everybody except Nathan is familiar with the process (and I think Justin and others will have a chance to inform him of most of the particulars), and we'll do a quick review right before the draft. But here are the numbers you need for planning.

Salary Cap: $300
Roster Spots: 16
Starting Positions: 9 (basic lineup: QB, 2RB, 3WR, TE, D, K)

You are required to fill all 16 roster spots (we will thus try give periodical updates about how much money you have left and the maximum amount you can spend on one player). I'm not sure you are "required" to fill all of your starting positions (but of course you would want to).

Are there any questions? Any other alterations? I think we can take care of a lot of the details (such as the order for throwing players up for bids) when the nine of us are together in person.
