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
Drafters - I took Benson thinking I'd be able to push one of Likely/J. Ferg to 147.

Ya, not a bad idea to lock up QBs on the QB hungry sites, especially when you don't have a lot of stacking options later by that point in the draft. It's a tough balance.
I just built one of the grossest teams I've ever built. I started 3 RBs from the 1.11, which I never do. And now I see why I never do. The good ole 3-4-7-4. I'm pretty sure in my 2k+ best ball draft history that I've never drafted that build. I don't even think it's happened in my auto draft situations. But maybe it's so gross, it just might work lol.

Nix was 12 past ADP and Herbert was 10 past, so missed on my stacks and ended up with weak stacks for those two.
Rookie szn at WR?
I like my second team better.

It's not the worst WR team. You've got 3 to 4 guys that could dominate their team's target share.
Hurts, Stafford, Dimes
Pollard, BRob, ETN, Allgeier, Dowdle, Ford
Puka, AJB, Terry, Ridley, Jeudy, Tre, ADM, Royals
Goedert, Kincaid, T. Ferg
I guess good thing I was already heavier on Ford and Sampson.
I’ve been light on all 3, since it’ll be one of my most underweight offenses. But I still have the most Judkins at around 5% post-draft.
Ultimately, unless the details are really bad, I’m guessing Judkins will get cheaper, the other two will get more expensive, and then you’ll want to have Judkins since the chances this affects this season are probably pretty low.
I'm not sure about UD and Drafters but on DK I have
13% Ford
6% Sampson
3% Judkins
Drafters. Wanted Sinnott in the last round, but he surprisingly went in the 19th.

Not sure what happened with this one. I definitely meant to take Keaton and James to get 6 RBs, but somehow ended up with Tutu instead.

Wish I had gone Henderson over Conner the way the rest of my rb room went

Andrews, Ertz
Just saw Shaidy draft this team in the puppy 2. Idk what’s going on with the leg up tool, but feels like it drafts some weird ass teams
Maye, Tua, Stafford, Darnold
Jeanty, Breece, Kamara, Jones, Giddens
Nabers, Wilson, Aiyuk, Kupp, Palmer, Wandale, Nuk
Laporta, Njoku
That is strange.
RB room is fine to stop at 5
TE room is fine to stop at 2 based on draft capital spent.
WR room is where I'd add another over a 4th QB. No idea what's up with Aiyuk. Is he ready to play? Will he be any good? Kupp is also a ?, so that really only leaves 2 confirmed Alphas in Nabers and Wilson.
Agree. Wr rooms too weak. I’ve seen Sack with a few v weak wr rooms too
All dbl stacks w bring backs
Caleb, Tlaw, Shough
Achane, Breece, Pollard, Guerendo, Sanders
Puka, DJM, Hunter, Addison, Golden, Shaheed, Pierce
Loveland, Strange, Juwan
Did it seem like he was actually making the picks? It looks like an auto team using the rankings/tool.
Or maybe he was mass drafting with the tool and missed some picks.
I think there is a world where that WR room works. But 4 QBs with two unstacked pocket passers is very bad. Maye is also unstacked. I don’t like to do that, but it’s more reasonable, especially with the two bring backs.
And if you were going to go 4 QBs for some reason on that team, I Dart would have been much better than Darnold.
Pete and Kerrane drafted unstacked Rodgers on this team earlier.
Nix, Fields, Rodgers
Bucky, Jones, Mondre, Sampson, Braelon, Tahj
JJ, Wilson, Worthy, Sutton, Kirk, Bryant
LaPorta, Ferg, Taylor
Rodgers was 13 picks past ADP and is at 150 in the LegUp ranks. The argument is at his price, Rodgers can add points for advancing plus maybe spike in w15/16 to get you through. Meh.
This is a team Sack drafted that got posted in the ETR discord
Goff, Love, Tua
Bucky, Chuba, Kaleb, Pollard, Mason, Warren
Chase, Pickens, Thielen, Noel, Austin, ADM, Tucker
McBride, J Ferguson
Why the **** have they abandoned stacking? I don't get it. Maybe the sim doesn't like stacking as much, because you do have to give up median projection a lot of times to accomplish it. But that's not what we are playing for. The ETR tool heavily favors stacking, from what I've watched.
I just built this team, which has a lot of stacks. I wasn't really sure what to do with my last pick. It felt like I could go QB, RB, or WR and it'd be fine. What direction would you guys have gone?
Jayden, Trevor, Dart
Jeanty, Mixon, BRob, Etienne, Lloyd
Nabers, Terry, Rome, Golden, Burden, Hollywood, Dyami
Andrews, Strange, Ertz
I normally go qb there, but I think I would’ve gone wr in that build
It’s bizarre bc Kerrane last week said the tool loves stacking, but they’re missing a lot of stacking lately
Dart is probably okay, but I would've thrown a Dart (no pun intended) at WR. Someone with a low floor/high ceiling. ADM, Royals, Malik, etc.
I would have probably gone Wicks if I went WR. I got Burden 18 picks past and Hollywood 19 picks past and felt like that kind of made up for an extra WR with that value. But I can certainly see arguments for another one. I think RB was third on my priority list given the investment already, but I could see arguments for a 6th RB too.
Here's one more. Both teams were The Little Schnauzer. Heavy Houston.
Kyler (11 picks), Stroud, Darnold
Kamara, Harvey, BRob, Etienne, Benson
Nico, Ladd, JSN, Terry, Higgins, Noel, MVS
Jonnu, Gesicki, Chig

It makes no sense to me. Stacking has been one thing all sharp people agree is necessary for big field tournaments.
LegUp is over here drafting like it's a cash game. Between Shaidy's and Sack's teams, we have unstacked Tua twice, Stafford, Goff, and Love. I didn't even realize how bad Sack's team was at WR until I just looked again.
Also, current DK promo for anyone who hasn't seen it. Draft 2 Milly teams, get 10 DK dollars. You can do it up to 3 times. But it expires tonight at midnight.
