He is bragging about how awesome he is, but if he played me both weeks he would have lost badly both times.

There is some skill. My brother told me its 30% skill/70% luck. I'd say thats about right. The skill involved I guess is just doing research and being able to draft guys with an upside that no one has heard of or picking up a guy off waivers before he blows up. I've found that in IDP leagues the balance shifts a little more towards skill just because if you don't have a strong defense then it doesn't matter how good your offense is.
League i've commished for the last 5 years we start DT, DE, DE, LB, LB, LB, CB, CB, S, S. Definitely makes you watch football more and learn players on both sides of the ball. Like the guy that picked up Justin Houston after he went undrafted at the end of August and he had a 32 point game against Philly. I'd say the knowing who he was and snagging him as an undrafted player and figuring he'll score 7-10 points a week is the skill portion. The luck would be the insane amount of points he put up in the game on Thursday.
