2024 Fantasy Football Thread

How is the Chicago coach not fired today. How do you let the Redskins get without resistance just enough yards to be able to throw a hail mary on the next play? Was there no plan for the defense on that last play? That's on the coaches. How about that putz who was taunting the crowd. That's coaching as well. This team came off the bye and looked like trash. Again coaching. Why did coach E hire a clearly horrible offensive coach? Caleb Williams growth is going to be stunted in this organization. Every other rookie QB is looking great. Thank goodness for their defense. I'm personally not a fan of Ryan Pace either. He got really lucky with the Carolina trade.

How would you guys rank the following QBs ROS:

Mahomes, Stafford, Nix, Cousins, Baker, Geno Smith, Trevor Lawrence

It's so close to me, I can't figure it out. and don't really have room for more than 2 QBs.

If I recall correctly, the Bears ownership has never fired a coach mid-season.

I doubt they will. It's a shame they are wasting Caleb's talent with inferior coaching. I wondered about Caleb's mental toughness entering his rookie season. Running into the the stands and crying in your mothers arms is not normal. Painting your nails is not normal but that's a different issue. I think both Coach E and Waldron will be gone if they don't make the playoffs. It would be funny if that hail Mary is what knocked them out.

It is close.

If Bo Nix had more talent at WR I'd put him number one. He is ascending and he is the one who can run out of the bunch. I'm putting Mahomes and Geno at the bottom of the list.

I'd go

1) Baker...He's gonna get Godwin back week 12 and he has a great ROS season schedule
3) Nix....His running is gonna give him a floor. He seems to be getting better every week. His intelligence is his special sauce. His footwork and pocket presence has improved significantly each game. His accuracy is improving as he gets used to the smaller NFL windows. I like taking the chance on the unknown ceiling.
3) Cousins...He'll be up and down but it seems Pitts is coming to life. He also should get better with his new team as the season progresses.
4) Stafford...I'm a little concerned they may trade Cooper if things go bad.

5) Trevor....Losing Kirk can't be good. He's just a middling type of QB at best
6) Geno....He'll be very good in good matchups when his receivers are healthy. Bench him against tougher defenses.
7) Mahomes....He's just not a fantasy QB anymore especially with all the injuries. He is a floor guy that's about it.

I am not as high on Bo. His floor week-to-week may be the lowest of that bunch, even with his rushing ability. He's coming off a high against the Panthers.

I really like Stafford out of that bunch if Kupp and Puka stay healthy, I'd probably rank him #1.

Stafford, Cousins, Baker, Bo, Geno, Mahomes, Lawrence is about what I like.

Bo will have some rough games for sure. I do hate his receivers. He should have had 400 yards and 5 TD's against Carolina. I'd move Stafford up if I knew Kupp was staying which he probably is unless they go on a loosing streak. Given the choices I like to gamble on the ascending player and the unknown of his ceiling. I'd bench Bo in the KC games for sure.

Worth mentioning Godwin is not back in week 12. He'll be lucky to play again this year.

I meant Mike Evans.

Baker
Bo
Cousins
Stafford
Mahomes
Geno
Trevor

Is how I'd rank it. I wanted to put Bo first but hard to ignore Baker's production. I'm still not fully confident in Baker, especially without Godwin and Evans. But it's really tough to ignore the production this season, and especially factoring in this past week without either receiver. Having two great receiving backs helps. Throwing 45x and 50x these past two weeks also helps.

Also, there is no guarantee that Evans is back by w12. They simply said he wouldn't be back until at least after the bye, but they didn't explicitly say he'd be back in w12. He has a long history of hammys and the fact that it was a reaggravation isn't great for the timeline.

Anybody looks good against the Panthers, but Bo has now scored 20+ in 3 of the last 4 weeks. He's averaging a weekly rushing output of 6.25 fpts. Also, being a rookie who has plenty of room to grow gives him asymmetrical upside that the rest of these QBs don't really have, especially combined with the rushing production so far.

Stafford/Cousins will have lower floors and higher ceilings due to the way their teams and offenses play. There will be weeks where the offensive TDs are on the ground. There will be weeks where they throw for 300+ and 3-4 passing TDs, assuming good health to their top weapons. Considering the current standings for the NFCW and with the trade deadline being next week, I would be shocked if Kupp is moved, especially after McVay made it very clear his opinion on the situation after this past week. There isn't enough time for things to go that bad, other than a season ender to Stafford this weekend.

Mahomes, Geno, and Trevor are what they are. Geno probably has the highest weekly upside when Metcalf is healthy. He probably has the lowest weekly floor of these 3. Mahomes continues his streak of sub 20 point games. The injuries to Kirk and BTJ aren't great for Trevor. Hopefully BTJ doesn't miss any time, as he's the real key to Trevor's upside.

Diggs officially out for the season. Time for Dell to get back to last year's production!

Who's gonna win it, cokeboy?

Downgrade all passing weapons for the Ravens.

Good for Lamar and the King.

Your team is gonna be tough to beat, barring any injuries.

I don't like this at all for my Z shares. Laddy welcome to my permanent startling lineup!

Mid way through I’m satisfied with bo nix Russell Wilson and Flacco as my QBs in best ball and midway through couldn’t ask more from tucker Kraft ! How’s everybody looking midway ?

Diontae would make sense.

Guess I'm late to the party

ROS, non ppr, rank these 3
Mooney
Cedric Tillman
Josh downs

Tillman
Downs
Mooney

I’d have Downs in first if the chance of AR starting again was nil.

Flacco is starting

Probably swap Tillman and downs.

For now.

Bo was always my go to for a cheap back up when I took a stud QB early so I have a ton. The same with Drake Maye.

I also have a ton of Kraft. I thought it was too easy to just fade Musgrave and take Kraft in the last round. He kind of felt like this years Puka.

I have very little Russ and no Flacco. I have 8% Fields. I still think Russ will wear his welcome out at some point with stupid end of game fumbles.

I ran hot with the number one pick so I have about 10% CMC. I started to take Lamb at number one late in the drafting season just to even out exposures.

I've done fantastic with my early second fades.....Aiyuk, Olave, Adams, Waddle etc. La Porta was an easy fade. Kirk as well.

I've done well with my plant my flag guys...Bowers, JK Dobbins, Tank, Mooney, Kraft,

I whiffed hard on Dulcich although I think his story is not over.

I had a lot of J Brooks which is a huge miss.

Overall if it wasn't for injuries I would be doing quite well. Every good team I have has a guy lost for the season. I think this is gonna be the year of come from behind teams. I have a lot of teams that are in the 3-7 ranking in the pod that are coming on and somewhat injury free.

Mooney
Tillman = Downs
