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
Shaidy is a beast. The main reason I try hard to respect the Sidekick, even when the suggestions feel counterintuitive. His models are simply good, and he has an insane track record.
DK. Pick 11My most interesting team so far. I went heavy RB to start. I probably should have gone WR where I took Tuten but I couldnÂ’t resist the value. I was considering stopping at 4 but Jonah Coleman fell 12 picks past ADP. I think I did alright at WR. I like QJ a lot more than consensus. TE is sus. It was between an 8th WR and a 4th TE for me. I like Horton a lot and
Good team.
This team is good at 3 TEs, especially with the capital spent on Fannin plus the upside of Sadiq.
I think I'd prefer 3-5-9-3, but the Geno pick is fine.
Also, this is insane behavior lol. Especially for a guy with his resources. Silva never fails to entertain.
Nice. More DK dollars. More best ball tickets.
Jesus, the 4/5 turn sucks now from the 1.01.
Maybe even 2-6-8-2
Yeah rb2 is weak but I sometimes struggle to draft to go 6 when I have Gibbs/Bijan just bc I expect them to lock in 1 spot most weeks
I donÂ’t mind it, went jamo/loveland today from 1.01This team probably needed to be 3/5/8/2 or 2/5/8/3 though
Spoiler
I like locking in a solid number two RB if possible with Gibbs. Loveland is a great pick. If Montgomery was there I’d snag him instead of Jamo. I’ve been doing all DK so I don’t know if that was possible. I like the receivers in the area where Stevenson goes so I tend not to get much of him.
I love the talent of Concepcion but it may be a while before he gets it going. He’ll be battling with Bond for playing time. He could be a great end of season guy. You have a couple vets behind him so that is good.
Why does Mayer go 214 on UD but he goes 340 and undrafted on DK? It feels like you felt the need to force the stack with Mendoza. I would have passed on Mendoza/Mayer and added extra dart throws on RB/WR.
340 is Mayer’s default rank on DK, but his ADP is 227.9.
I mix him in. He could be the 2nd best pass catcher on the team and has top 5 TE contingent upside if Bowers goes down.
I really hope the Raiders let him go after the season, but I’m afraid they’re going to re-sign him.
I like adding his upside in TE rooms like this.
Egbuka's ADP has gone from 37.3 to 35.9. I can't help but think my 62% in The Fast Puppy had a small part to play
You're moving the market!

I was doing that last year with both Mayer and N Gray in mediocre TE rooms.
I think he’s ranked 270 now. He seems to still be going undrafted at least in my drafts. It seems he would be more of a DK play with the extra two spots to play with.
What players currently going in round two do you think will be in round one next year.
1) AJ Brown
2) Brock Bowers
3) Barkley.
At what point do the number of slow drafts you are in does it become difficult or overwhelming? IÂ’m doing the slow puppy and I like it. I just donÂ’t want to over do it.
Why do my apostrophes end up the A symbol sometimes?

I guess that depends on your definition of overwhelming. 50-100 is the sweet spot for me. I peaked at like 175 a month ago and that was a bit much. Currently in about 65 between UD and DK, but that’s about to ramp up.
Most slows take roughly 3 weeks on average to complete.
You can get by with 3 pick sessions per day. When you wake up, one pick session in the middle of the day, and then before you go to bed.
Kerrane said on a stream the other day that he’s up to 500 lol.
Barkley and Walker imo
I think AJB and Bowers can certainly put up big years, but would assume they’ll end up at the early 2nd instead of the first when that happens
I need a player to be elite to have a chance to be in the first. Barkley qualifies but Walker does not. Also, the Chiefs use so many different players near the goal line. He should have a nice season.
AJB reminds me of when Moss went to the Patriots from the Raiders. He had a bad attitude in Philly like Moss did with the Raiders. They both moved on to a better QB. Josh Mcdaniels was there for both. Neither had/have much competition for targets on their new team. Maye throws a beautiful deep ball. I think AJB is gonna feast this year.

I suppose Kerrane’s life is best ball so he might as well get into a bunch. It sounds fun actually. I think when I retire that will be something other than poker I can focus on.
I’m currently in 10 and counting. About 8 of these are in the 6 or 7 spot.
That looks good. I'm liking WR/WR/WR or WR/TE/WR starts a lot if I'm starting 1.03-1.10
I think it gives you a lot of flexibility in Rounds 4-7
Doesn’t it give you no flexibility in those rounds bc you basically have to take rb in at least 2 of them (i like those builds fwiw i just wouldn’t use flexibility as the reason)
You don't HAVE to haha. But yeah, it feels very uncomfortable the more you push RB.
Speaking of which, this chart is pretty funny. Going to be a wild year if early RB fails.
And this chart on QBs.
