2024 Fantasy Football Thread

People steaming JAG Jordan Mason and now Jones is back lol.

ugh don't mention it. I still like Mason as I do think he's the better back, but I'm done pulling him up.

Tucker coming back is not good for Bucky

Alright, I’m back to drafting, have to kill 2 hours while my place is being shown haha

Dog walking and drafting for 2 hours starts now

Hearing Cousins to Raiders . Is it possible Mendoza sits the whole year ?

Would be wild, would guess 6 weeks and then he’s playing

Did a little research the other day on last year's SuperFlex and Eliminator.

Top 10 in The Puppy but SF

- All used at least 3 QBs. (3 teams with exactly 3, and the other 7 had at least 4)
- The team that got 7th in The Pug but SF did use 2 QBs (Caleb/Drake)

The 3 teams in the finals of The Eliminator all had 2 early RBs (Jacobs/Kyren, CMC/JT, and Achane/Cook), and none of them used an elite QB/TE.

Here’s my first one back

Missed some good picks (doubs at 120ish)

Looks good to me.

No, no it’s not. I guess I’m done drafting him for now. Just annoying to see how he good he was as a rookie.

It would be interesting. Mendoza’s price has been awful the entire pre-draft season.

Makes sense. Both are high floor, advance rate strategies while also allowing for high ceilings.

I still like Bucky in the 3rd . Maybe I’m just dumb lol.

Haha. The problem is that he could still touch the ball 20x a game and not payoff. Basically what happened once he returned from injury last year. They kept running him between the 20s then weren’t throwing or giving goal line work. I saw two games of it against the Panthers.

It’s also possible he was just really injured last year and they only wanted to run him a certain way. The advanced metrics were pretty bad too.

The first 4 weeks looked great, though. Maybe he can get back to that.

Baker also wasn’t great last year . I’m hoping the change in OC will help .

True. Baker had his own shoulder injury. And Grizzard was certainly no Coen.

I’m happy betting on the Bucs again. I bet Bucky falls to at least the 4th, maybe gradually. Surprised Godwin and McMillan aren’t moving up faster after Mike left.

I know it’s just coach speak but Zac Robinson comparing Bucky
to Bijan Makes me hope his usage will be a lot .

I forgot about that quote. It is encouraging to hear

heels, what are your thoughts on Chuba? I've been hammering him in the hopes he's in for a bigger workload, but also mixing in some Brooks here and there as well.

I hated Chuba last year but think he’s great value this year . Brooks needs to prove to me he can stay healthy .

All those guys in that range are easy clicks for me. Chuba, Dowdle, Pollard, Monangai, Allgeier.

They can't all be good though.

I liked Allgeier until he signed with Arizona and I’ve been fading Pollard cause I think Tennessee takes Love.

I think Chuba is a fine pick. Plenty of outs to be the lead guy all year. He was injured last year too. He could get back to 2024 Chuba.

Also a chance Brooks is healed and comes on as the season goes along. Plus, the staff likes Trevor Etienne. I wouldn’t be surprised if they draft another back too. If so, I’d expect day 3.

All in all, Chuba could be a bad pick, especially for late season. But I think there’s enough upside to mix him in.

I think I’m 5-6% Chuba and 9-10% Brooks so far.

Hope ya'll got your Keaton shares in order. He's about to jump to the 12th round.

Oh boy, the people are definitely going to like that. I only have a few shares.

I'm at 17% on DK and 16% on UD.

I've got 8 more to do on DK, and I'm all in if I can.

Just started one from the 1.12. Will try to get him at the 13/14 turn.

I have no problems ranking him above these other RBs given his landing spot, talent, and the contract.

I can see the upside argument. But it's a lot of projection for a guy who has never played more than 50% of the snaps in a game and only has topped out at 11 touches in a game. He's definitely better in best ball, though. All you need is a couple of games where he breaks off a long TD run.

Also being a UDFA who was let go by his original team who seemed to like him isn't a great sign. Not like Balt is oozing depth behind Henry.

I look at the contract (2 year/$9m) vs Vidal's 1 year/$1m. and the fact that Keaton has a bunch of different incentive bonuses. Right now, it would seem they have him as their RB2.

I could see a 50/25/25 split to start the season, and then depending on how he does, maybe he gets to 35-40 if everyone stays healthy.
