Just heard about the Alliance of American Football. New league being promoted by CBS and NFL Network.
The eight-team Alliance of American Football, which opens with two games on Saturday night (San Diego at San Antonio and Atlanta at Orlando), marks the debut of the upstart league on CBS.
- Per ESPN

Is anyone following this? Are there any fantasy platforms that support this league. Or would you need to do it old-school style, tracking and logging box scores? Any enterprising commissioner out there who would want to throw something together? No cheat sheets, no rankings, no nothing. Could be a simple 8 team league, start QB/WR/RB/2Flex with 10 bench slots. Simple rules.

This could be a fun league while it lasts.

If we had more than a day, I'd set up a league for this.

I saw a couple real drafts and he did not go first round.

hahaha wow! He was the biggest name I saw on the depth charts. Unless I missed someone.

I'd be extremely interested in joining one of these AAF leagues though!

I’m rooting for this league. The NFL has long n ended an minor league, it give finge players a chance to show their stuff, and hopefully gives us decent football up thru the draft. If it works out I love it.
Think I will be holding out to enter an AAF fantasy league though lol.

Zach Mettenberger was a hyped name before Marcus Mariota was drafted in Tennessee.

Haha, I do agree with you. Gives the players an opportunity and also gives a huge opportunity to try new things and experiment with rules to improve the game. I'll be watching tonight!
