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
Got a decent amount through to the semifinal, but unfortunately most had lions and ravens, so only 2 somewhat live teams left both in the mitten 2
Qb - Mahomes, Stroud
Rb - Saquon, Mixon
Wr/te - Kelce, Worthy, Hollywood, Goedert, Reed, Nico
So 6 active and 6 for a chiefs/eagles Super Bowl
The second one I honestly have no idea how I drafted this team and why I grabbed Steelers at the end. I think I obviously got sniped on Mahomes early and then Darnold later, but kinda a funny looking team. Wish I grabbed like ertz/ekler instead of Steelers
Qb - Jayden
Rb - Saquon, Brob, Pacheco, Warren (?)
Wr/te - kelce, Mclaurin , JJ, Addison, Pickens
Not the best, but at least I’ll have 5 in a Commanders/Chiefs Super Bowl and Saquon as an advance rate piece this round
I've only got this team with a chance, but it's stacked if KC gets to the SB.
5 Chiefs + 2 Eagles/2 Commanders
Mahomes
Barkley, Kyren, BRob
AJB, Worthy, Terry, Dhop, Kupp, Samuel
Kelce, Gray
Nice, that’s a v good squad
Yep which only means we're getting a BUF/WAS Super Bowl, but if we're being honest, that's probably the most entertaining matchup.
BJ to the Bears is not bullish for Swift.
Great cause I just traded 1.1 for swift and Goff so this really hurts me lol .
The double whammy lol. Is that the 1.01 or the 1.10?
If I was going to move that pick for a QB, I’d remove the other pieces and find someone more valuable than Goff.
I think Jeanty is going to crush. But obviously more volatility in RBs.

Hasn’t historically the record breaking college RBs been busts in the nfl ?
And that was by far the best offer I got for the pick .
This is not a good year to need a head coach. There were no Paytons or Harboughs out there so the Bears had to settle for a first time head coach who could be another Nate Hackett.
Really? Hackett? That’s just insulting.
Over half the league has guys who were first year HCs with their current org.
Ben has shown remarkable success over multiple seasons. I can’t say with certainty that he’ll be a good HC, but I wouldn’t bet against it.
The change from OC to HC is a big transition, but just because the best candidate might not have experience doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a high ceiling. And really, it’s Super Bowl upside or bust when hiring a HC.
Lol.
I had already decided to be heavy on whatever team hired Ben.
Will initially focus on DJM, Caleb and Rome, and then see how things shake out with FA and the draft. Probably sprinkle in some Kmet too, as he should be cheap.
As a bears fan I was resigned to quitting the team when they inevitably signed McCarthy, I am so happy that they got Ben and I don’t have to find a new team to cheer for!
Yeah, I’ve just never been that into him. But need to adjust priors given the change.

Very happy for you. I’m a big Ben fan and hope he smashes this opportunity. Definitely way more exciting than fat mike lol.
Interested to see how the market reacts.
After 2023, there was a lot of discussion of making adjustments due to the QB injuries. Then they mostly stayed healthy.
Last year was definitely the year of the running backs . Not so sure that trend continues.
The RB market is going to be tough to gauge, outside of the few at the top, especially with the incoming rookies.
I'll be getting some shares. Ben Johnson will be a big upgrade for the offense. I don't understand why the Bears are keeping Poles. He set back Caleb a year of growth by retaining Eberflus and hiring Shane Waldron. He might be the worst GM in the league.

Hackett was a "hotshot" OC before heading to Denver. Ben Johnson "might" end up being a good coach. Had the idiot Poles fired Eberflus last year they may have been able to lure in one of the elite coaches like Payton or Harbaugh.
I don't think Caleb is a championship QB. He had mental red flags coming into the NFL and those proved to be true. I think he will put up big numbers but he'll never win a Super Bowl. He doesn't have the "it" quality that guy's like Daniels and Nix have.
The soft fade of Saquon and Henry was pure lunacy by the hive. Everyone of my teams that advanced to week 17 was drafted in August. That was the month I tuned out the guy's who got lucky and won a BBM and started going heavy RB early. Unfortunately, I was a sheep the first couple of months of drafting even thought I had the feeling this was gonna be an RB year.
