2024 Fantasy Football Thread
Welcome to the 2024 fantasy season, where I'm officially addicted to best ball. I've been drafting since the end of Jan
Ok well I think BTJ has a better chance at being top 5 than Hunter does at being top 10-15. I guess we will see how things play out

My wording was poor there. I was referring to BTJ being 10-15 wr range. I mainly thought he was being way overvalued in Dynasty in post season and going a bit too early in redraft

Ah ok that's different then. I was also hoping TLaw would get on a career arc similar to Baker or Darnold but that does not seem to be the case. He's just not good. I've watched some of the games and the announcers basically make fun of him for his decision making, unacceptable delay of games etc. Jags would be really good with a good QB
Had Dowdle last week - faded him this week and of course he follows up with a great game. It's just amazing how bad Dallas D is - they're the most fantasy friendly team this year.
Need to fill a wr4 slot who do we like ROS Ridley, Mooney, Kirk?
I like JJ as WR1 this week. Hoping for some 1.05 starts so I can go with Judkins/JJ or Saquon/JJ
I think I probably like Pickens (if Lamb is out) and Rice more than JJ. Either way, those 3 are probably pretty far ahead of everyone else on the slate. WR is kind of gross.
I really like Judkins this week.
The Eagles have to go back to Saquon more, right?
This slate kind of sucks lol.
WR is gross past the first few.
RB dominates the first round, with a bunch of other guys later that could be viable.
So many QBs and TEs that could be viable.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a Pickens/JJ, JJ/Rice, or Pickens/Rice 1-2-2-1 take it down. You'll have to ignore ADP a little to create some of those unique combos, but I'll definitely be doing it. CD would change it, but I'd probably still draft both Pickens/CD in that game environment.
BBMDB has an entire portfolio view now. It's sick. I think the only contest not in there right now is MMG's BB League.
Nice! Was hoping they’d roll something like that out.
Doing slightly better than average

I won't be posting my BB advance results. I'm advancing over 26% but this number is about to significantly rise. It may be close to 40% next week. I have a ton of teams just out of advancing but will be getting injured/suspended players back soon. The best news is that I am advancing in 66% of my Flock teams. Thank goodness for Best Ball because my DFS results have been very blah. I can't seem to avoid the injuries.
Caleb is a nice click. It'll be hard for me to end up with many QBs outside of Mahomes, Jayden, Caleb, Dak, and Maye this week.
I'll probably mix in some Love, Herbert, Nix, Dimes, and Hurts, but I don't think they hit their ceiling nearly as often as the 5 above.
I'm also fading Rico for now, especially at his current ADP. I think there's a good chance Chuba is back. And while I think either could have a good game, I don't think think either can have a ceiling game while the other is active.
I don't really want to take Breece either, but I get it. Who else are they going to give the ball too? But probably mostly fading Jets altogether, including Fields. I might mix in a little Taylor, since TE is where the Panthers defense is the weakest and he could be the top pass catcher.

Yes Rico should be a fade this week. The Jets D line is pretty stout. I also think this is gonna be a big time rally of the troops for the Jets after last weeks embarrassment. The Jets are actually not as bad as their record indicates. They could have won some games against good teams earlier in the season. The Jets were shut down by an elite D last week. They should be able to operate as a functional offense in this one.
Agree generally on the jets, but no Wilson is definitely not great for a rebound
Reynolds as wr1 is not great for an already bad passer

I mean, I guess. 2 point loss to the Steelers, who I don't really believe in, and a 2 point loss to the Bucs. Smoked by the Bills and Cowboys, with garbage time against the Cowboys saving some fantasy days. A loss to the Dolphins and then negative passing yards against the Broncos doesn't inspire confidence. I get the Broncos have a good defense, but negative passing yards is another level. It could also completely fall off the rails this week.
The Jets have been middling against RBs. I'd be playing Dowdle if I didn't expect Chuba to play. But it's tough to see how a 50/50 backfield is in the winning lineup. It'd be better if one missed every week, because the Panthers bellcow has been very valuable for fantasy during the Canales tenure.
Without Wilson, it's tough to see a Fields ceiling game.
Breece doesn't even have a damn TD this year. But it's tough to not at least mix in his volume at an underweight clip.
I'll close my eyes and mix in low owned Taylor, I guess. It's a pretty strong TE slate, though, especially if Njoku doesn't play and it's all Fannin.
I think we probably need to dock Ferguson with CeeDee likely coming back. But it's tough in what is the current highest projected scoring environment. 55.5 is insane.
I assume you're fading Skattebo this week haha.
Only made 1 BR so far, not sure I like it, but we’ll see

I'm very nervous about this game. There is a ton of pressure for the Broncos offense to show up this week. Losing our left guard Ben Powers is a really big deal. The Giants are riding high and feeling confident. On paper Denver should destroy the Giants. This defense should be terrifying for Dart. The Giants have had 10 days off while the Broncos had to travel from London. I will not be playing Skattebo this week. I may not even play DFS this week. It's such a scam and I'm sick of getting close but having one guy get injured and ruining for me.
In summary, taking the points and betting the Giants is easy money.
Seems decent to me. Phins/Browns not the best environment, but Waller could catch a TD or 2.
I think this week is a Saquon week. Lost 2 straight trying to pass and abandoning his touches, plus Minn is the best passing defense so far coming off of a bye, so that helps the Saquon narrative.
If Breece finds the endzone once, hopefully twice, you're feeling good.
Some uncertainty with Pickens/Deebo, but a great game environment and who knows how CD and Terry look if they both return this week. I do wonder about Deebo's health after his performance on Monday, but he's worth a shot.
Got 2 teams into the 2Q Semi's. Is FFLINX someone well known. the name sounds familiar.
Nice! Good luck. And yeah, he's in a lot of contests, posts some on X, and I think he's been on some streams here and there.
Big time volume.

I'd like to try doing BR's but it has been a few weeks since I have felt strongly about anything. This week is no different. It feels too crap shooty and I don't feel like doing a ton of drafts. I feel good about avoiding the Broncos/Giants game.
The big problem with DFS is that you really need to do mass volume. I only play maybe 30 lineups. Because of this I take stands that quite often are correct. The problem is because I'm doing so few line ups I end up not having certain players I needed in my player pool. Maybe I should just start playing mass entry but much lower buy in.
