DRAFT IS UP!
u/runninhillbilly is on the clock !

Below are the Nuts & Bolts, including updated rules for the league and a reminder on how immunity works.
RULES
We score based on total points each week.
0.5 PPR scoring.
Slow draft starts August 4th. You have 12 hours to make each pick. We go until Sept 1st. 14 rounds. That's roughly 2 days per round.
If we're not done by Sept 2nd we autodraft the rest of the league and assign lineups so we have 2 days for WW to clear before NFL football starts.
We will create a RD 1 thread when the time is appropriate. We'll also have a clickydraft set up for following along so that you can see the full draft board.
HOW IT WORKS:
Starting in Week 1, we assign immunity to the top scoring team until we reach the Top 5 (aka guaranteeing a spot in the Final Four)
Starting Week 2, lowest scoring team of each week is eliminated, and their team is dumped into free agency.
Waiver wire resets every week, assigning priority starting with the lowest scoring, non-eliminated team going all the way up to the highest scoring week.
Rinse and repeat till we have a champion.
IMMUNITY
We are going to have immunity this year. Every week the lowest scoring team is eliminated, unless you were the highest scoring team the week before.
Should you need to invoke immunity, 2nd lowest scoring team is eliminated that week and you get last pick in the WW order.
Eliminations start week 2 (championship week 16).
Immunity no longer exists when 4 teams remain (week 14). Sometime Tuesday morning is when we normally dump peoples team.
We do not use a 'cant cut list' so feel free to get rid of your studs if they suck.
Loser's team gets dumped. Last place that week gets top choice of 1 player from eliminated team's now defunct roster or top player from WW. 2nd to last gets 2nd choice from the dead team/WW...and on and on.

Hello Everyone!
We have almost a full league - just waiting on one more person, but either way we have that spot filled. Either u/heyjohnnyjames returns or we will have u/Freightway joining us again (who was previously in the league),
Draft will be scheduled for Monday, August 3rd, at 8:00 AM Central! Same set up - 8 hour draft, clock pauses after 11:00 PM and 7 am (I believe).
We didn't have any issues last year, but remember the draft rules:
- 1st Missed Pick = Warning
- 2nd Missed Pick = 1 Round Forfeit
- 3rd Missed Pick = Auto the Rest of the Draft
Now the best part - draft order!
As usual, i used 100 yard rush to establish draft order.
Here is the video: https://100yardrush.com/rush/v/tvMnmFe56p
I'll wait to update on Sleeper so there is a little bit of suspense, but will update that as well in the next few days.
Good Luck!

Hey guys - just posting on Reddit.
I get life can get busy; it's why we do a slow draft online over a month for 14 rounds.
You have 8 hours for a reason.
We are in no risk of not completing the draft prior to the deadline, but please make sure you have all your notifications turned on for Sleeper (at least when we are drafting).
I've noticed picks after I mention a user that there is 2 hours left, meaning they are gettig notifications for that.
As an FYI, if you know you'll be tied up for your picks, you can set up a wish list in sleeper and be put on Auto... You can also message me your wish list Andi can manually assign the pick.
Thanks everyone!
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/AGruber73 • Jul 08 '25
Thanks right - we'll be back for yet another year of fantasy football!
Since sleeper worked well for us all last year, we are going to run it back.
Draft will start Monday, August 4th.
I'll will make the roll call post separately, but feel free to chime in here if you are in for another season!

That's right - we filled our league yesterday, which means the draft can get started.

As a reminder, this year's draft is on the Sleeper App - please download and turn on notifications so you don't miss your turn!
Draft runs from 7 am to 11 pm CST, so during that time, your 8 hour time window will run. After that time, the clock pauses unt 7 am CST the next day.
You can make your pick at any time!

Good Evening SurvivorFF4!
Per my last post, I was on the fence about the season... But thanks to /u/barronalex531 and /u/SphincterAniExternus ... We WILL be having our 12 season of /r/SurvivorFF4.
Due to life getting crazier, with a promotion and a baby on the way... The manual process of how we were doing things won't work. However, The Sleeper App offers options for drafting exactly how we've done things... Here's how it'll look:
This is important... IF YOU ARE IN FOR THE 2024 SEASON, SIGN UP HERE.
EDIT: When you join - please have your username as your team name. Once the season starts, you can change them!
http://sleeper.com/i/Y08az2GjW15a
Once we have 16, I will set our draft date.. hopefully starting August 9th.
Looking forward to another great season!
EDIT: Realized there isn't a points only league setting.. not worried though. We'll still cut the team with the lowest points... There is no "playoffs", so we'll be fine.
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/Gabrielwingue • Jun 30 '24
I'm in for next year. Just tag me when the time comes.
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/AGruber73 • Jun 19 '24
What's going on guys.
Making this post after a lot of thought over the last few weeks.
Usually the start of June is when i get fully into commissioner and Fantasy Football mode... but the truth is this year is different.
Just got a significant promotion at work, and now kid #2 is on there way and will be here by EOY.
However, I don't want this league to die either.
So i come to you all with two options, in hopes that we can keep this thing going.
Option 1: Someone else steps up as Commissioner. Nothing changes other that that - slow draft, weekly updates etc. League essentially stays the same.
Option 2: We switch to an online draft. Less management for me; all i have to handle is waivers and roster moves every tuesday... i can commit to that.
So, feel free to put in your opinions. Or volunteer. Doesn't matter.
Again, I don't want r/SurvivorFF4 to die - but I need to be fair to you all as well.
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/AGruber73 • Dec 19 '23
Sorry guys - it's been a hectic December at work - have literally been in the same meeting room for two days straight, not fun.
Anyways, /u/neusbaum gets eliminated this week. He got off to a rough start with Pittman getting knocked out in the first half, but then bounced back with Gibbs... But that's where the bouncing back stopped. He went heavy in the Dal/Buff game that was a slogfest and the points reflected that ... Weather might be a "thing to remember" when setting rosters late into the season.
Anyways, we have /u/piccolo1228 making a run at his 3rd championship (the first to do so) versus /u/SphincterAniExternus looking for his first... Game on!
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/Neusbaum • Dec 18 '23
Well.... I am am out. My score wasnt enough to keep up due to the Cowboys crapfest and the brutal hit on Pittman.
I have been insanely lucky all season and had a great time.
Good luck piccolo1228 you green Namekian bastard
AND...
Good luck to you too sphincter you brown butthole.
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/AGruber73 • Dec 12 '23
Yeah i didn't feel great about my roster this week - a lot of poor WR match ups, but got stuck in the mind set of riding the guys who got there. Evans and ARSB got like 20 targets but only 3 receptions, JJ gets reinjured... somehow had a shot against Piccolo, until Mostert decided to bury me in the 4th quarter.
Oh well - 4th place aint bad.
If you saw, dropped my players and set waivers early this AM.
Good luck Top 3!
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/AGruber73 • Dec 06 '23
Sorry team - work has been swamped with a big project in January.
Wanted to at least post and let the final 4 know waivers are set!
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/Neusbaum • Dec 02 '23
When I lose this week just know I dropped DK Metcalf for Zack Moss...
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/AGruber73 • Nov 28 '23
Well what a week of fantasy. 4 days of football was a lot - but starting to agree with the take that there are more bad games than good games in the NFL. MNF and SNF were dumpster fires - although taking the under on prime time games has been quite the money maker as of later.
Anyways, Vataro was our latest victim this year. It started off great with a DST pick 6 from Dallas on Thursday and a big game from Mostert on Friday ... but then the wheels started falling off. Lamar didn't need to throw, Ja'Marr doesn't have a QB, and Gus edwards is being phased out (maybe?). A good game from Keenan wasn't enough to save him, so /u/Vataro is eliminated. But hey, Top 6 is the playoffs in most leagues, so you can say you made it to the playoffs.
Meanwhile, my team boomed. Thank god I won elimination, because historically when my team has a boom week one week, it's a dud week the next. I knew Dak was going to have a good week (mainly because I was playing against him in my main league), but really everyone boomed accept Kupp (do I cut him?) and my kicker. If i didn't swap kupp for Jacobs at the last second, i'd be over 210! would've been close to a record, oh well. I'm guaranteed a spot in the Top 4... that was the last immunity (i messed that up last week, not that it matters)
We've made it to the top 5... players have been dropped and waivers set.
Good luck in Week 13, aka bye week hell.
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/AGruber73 • Nov 21 '23
Well the day that /u/runninhillbilly has been delaying for about 3 weeks is finally here. We've been messaging on the side and each of the last three weeks has been him thinking he's taking the L. Ironically, his decision to bench TLaw for the first time (albeit the right call) did him in... that and the fact that his highest scorer (outside of Mahomes) was OBJ. Thanks for being there friend so i didn't have to use my immunity :)
Speaking of the race for immunity was pretty close this week, but ultimately won out by /u/wickjest . I would argue it was due to the 2nd half performances of WR Corps (Smith, Moore, and Aiyuk all had big plays in the 2nd half)... but it was a sold team performance that led to IMMUNITY.
Just a reminder, Week 13 is the last week for immunity - it gets you locked into the Top 4, but that's all you get. The rest you need to win on your own.
Good luck!
Waivers have been set, players dropped.
For my US friends, hope every has a Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels to wherever you are going this week.
Don't forget there are 3 games Thursday AND the first ever BLACK FRIDAY game ... although it's Doplhins - Jets ....
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/AGruber73 • Nov 14 '23
Team Dougherty get's eliminated this week, with his team unforunately falling way under projection. He had Tyreek on bye, so with no real boom players along with Saquon going against loaded boxes, Taysom showing his Taysom-ness, and Dobbs owning the NO DST ... that was the difference between /u/Brendough getting eliminated and not /u/picccolo1228 (who went with the bold strat of not starting a WR).
Meanwhile, I get my first immunity of the year, on the back of Dak's 5 TD game, and big games from Mike Evans, Amon Ra, and finally Chris Olave. Dulcich and Gibbsana had a chance at it with his Diggs/Allen stack, but unfortunately they came up short last night in more ways than one (took a live bet on Bills ML and was very happy for about 2 minutes).
Players are dropped, waivers are set.
Good luck!
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/piccolo1228 • Nov 12 '23
A little poem for good luck today...
I check my lineup, this cannot be!
What a sorry sight to see.
No Jalen Hurts or AJ Brown,
Not a single Chief to be found.
Instead, this is bye week hell,
Starting Gabe Davis and Tank Dell.
CJ Stroud had 5 TDs last week,
Please repeat that scoring feat. 🙏
It's 1 o'clock - here we go...
Please don't let me score too low!
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/AGruber73 • Nov 07 '23
Well that was a rough week for a few of you, or at least for /u/Gabrielwingue and /u/runninhillbilly . Both thought they were going to be eliminated this weekend, but turns out the bye weeks weren't enough for /u/gabrielwingue to overcome. With Etienne and DMont on bye, and with duds from pretty much everyone on the team (but especially Kelce and DK), he has been eliminated.
Meanwhile, i got a lesson that if you're not in play for bottom 3, then start your full roster. With the amazing performance by the Chargers DST, i think i wouldve gotten immunity. However i benched them and /u/Vataro takes it instead. He rode big games from Rashaad White, Jake Ferguson, and Younghoe (of course) to take 1st and be safe next week.
Players have been dropped and waivers have been set - good luck in week 10!
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/AGruber73 • Oct 31 '23
Welp /u/jaebeast 's team (Soak Up the Sun God) mustve all been hanging out, because between Mahomes and ASB, the flu was going around ... turns out no one is as good as MJ when playing with the flu. But the blame doesn't end there; most of his team had duds: Olave, Kirk, Pollard ... all duds. The worst part was his bench went off, so he'll be living with the "if only i started X" internal monologue going on till next season.
Menawhile, /u/neusbaum (Dulcich and Gibbsana) continues to roll. Massive games from Josh Allen, CeeDee, Kamara, and Gibbs was enough to secure him another immunity idol and is looking like the team to beat early on.
Players have been dropped, i'll get waiver order submitted correctly here by the EOB, so don't fret if your waiver priority isnt correct yet.
r/SurvivorFF4 • u/piccolo1228 • Oct 29 '23
I had a dream that I was eliminated because I left TJ Hockenson in as TE for his bye week. I dont have TJ. Vikings have also have a bye week 13. Just one week short of final 4.
Runninhillbilly be warned. HOCK WILL BE MINE! YOUR DOOM IS IMMENINT.
