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
Feels like I'm still making mistakes in rounds 11-16
Whiffed TE
QB - AR, Tua
RB - Bijan, Jacobs, Kamara, Pollard, Chubb, Herbert
WR - Waddle, Pittman, Odunze, Davis, Bateman, M. Wilson, Claypool, Malik Washington, Toney
TE - Shultz, Gesicki, Theo Johnson
Maybe I’m brain farting . Which Davis ?
I assumed Gabe when I responded
That would make sense .
yeah Gabe
They play in a dome and have an extremely qb friendly system and JJ is the best wr in the nfl. I think you’re overthinking it.
Yes anything’s possible obv, but that system has shown that even absolute scrubs can be fine at qb
I'm still taking him but not until after Bijan and Breece are off the board. I do have a habit of overthinking things. This is why I'm not doing redraft anymore. I tinker way too much with my lineups.
Have drafted way more best ball than I was planning to this early, mostly out of boredom
Is this one too 0 rb in the dk milly (was trying to get white in 6-7 but got sniped by 1 pick and then same thing happened w Monty a rd later)
Qb - AR, Geno, Nix
Rb - Javonte, Spears, Charb, Gibson, Tracy, Eli
Wr - ARSB, Aiyuk, Nabers, Dell, Odunze, JSN, AD Mitchell, Dev Walker
Te - Kittle, Kmet, Woods
It would be better if you were able to get another RB where you drafted Odunze and JSN.
I like that you paired Woods with AR and AD. Probably a good decision to go with a 3 TE build given how up and down Kittle can be. Nabers as a week 17 bring back is nice. A little Tracy as well I see.
You have some nice week 17 correlation in several different areas. Was that planned? Kittle,Aiyuk, Eli/ASRB..... Dell/Tez Walker........Geno, Charb, JSN/Odunze,Kmet........ Nix/Javonte. Literally everybody but Spears is correlated in some way. Nice job.
Overall a pretty solid team.

Thanks
Yeah I generally correlate week 17 when I have closish decisions and as a way to get different exposures
Definitely wish I had another rb maybe went too far on grabbing wr values when I felt like they dropped too much
This was my worst draft yet in regards to poor decisions and always picking at the end of player tiers. I didn't love my choices in round 6 so I took AR. I still should have gone WR. This is my first draft going 2 RBs in the first 3 rounds. I hate it. I had to take a third QB because AR and Lamar are off week 14. I should have taken Nix in round 17 to go with Mims. I didn't do great with regards to week 17 correlation.
QB) Lamar, AR, Bryce
RB) CMC, Achane, Singletary, Kendre Miller, Rico Dowdle
REC) Waddle, Hopkins, Lockett, Shaheed, AD Mitchell, Bateman, Mims, J McMillan
TE) Mandrews, Jonnu Smith
QB - Purdy, Tua
RB - Gibbs, A. Jones, Chubb, Hubbard, Dobbins
WR - Waddle, Nabers, Pittman, Watson, Jeudy, Gabe, Chark, Boyd, McMillan, Jennings
TE - Kittle, Jonnu, Gesicki
Pretty sure I should have taken Higgins, Terry, Ridley, or Godwin over Kittle at 5.11, and then just grabbed Kittle at 6.2 and get my 2nd RB in round 7.
I don't love having 2 pocket passers as my QB. Wanted to get DJ in the 15th, but someone got him in the 14th.

RE
Am I the only one who thinks there’s almost no way Achane returns round 2 value ?
Ooof, yeah I think once you go 2rbs in the 1st 3, you almost have to go with like 2 QBs in 10/11 range (Jayden/tlaw/etc w/e correlates) otherwise you end up too weak at wr and too weak at te (in this case wr)
I’d rather grab a top 7 te than a top qb if i have to choose between the 2
Obv grabbing 2 top QBs and a top te is insane given how quickly wr evaporates but I think you know that already

This is one of the better ones you’ve posted.
Definitely think you need 3 QBs here imo (nix/maye/geno/pittsburgh/anyone late)
Think you needed another wr when you grabbed Jones. You can get a plethora of RBs well after rd7.
Kittle in the 5th seems too high (his ADP is like 70 something isn’t it?)
I think you’d be better served to pick closer to choose ADP values in the later rds vs whatever you’re doing. You end up with way too many too many guys on your roster that are not good values it seems from the outside looking in
I think he is being way over drafted. This is the first time I have taken him and it was round 3. I think he should be late round 3 or early round 4. This has Gabe Davis written all over it. It's possible that he is never gonna get significant touches per game. He's only 188 pounds and we've seen the injuries pile up. This was the concern of him coming out of college. They drafted a clone of him in Jalen Wright. This tells me that they aren't confident he'll last the year. Even his week 17 matchup in Cleveland is bad.
If Mostert goes down and they increase his touches he will definitely return round two value. Maybe even round one. I wouldn't touch him in redraft in the second round.

It’s like you read my mind lol

This draft was a disaster.
If I'm lucky enough to advance to the playoffs maybe Lamar and AR can ping pong weeks. Week 15 Lamar goes off. Week 16 AR goes off. ETC. Maybe week 17 the Lamar teams are eliminated and Lamar goes off. That's my weak rationalization.
Just finished this one in the dk milly. Is this too weak at rb? Also, only going 2 at the onesy positions, mistake?
Qb - Hurts, Cousins
Rb - ETN, Javonte, Charb, Wright, Irving, Tracy, Shipley
Wr - AJB, London, Godwin, BTJR, Ladd, Polk, Tolbert, McMillan, Rondale
Te - Pitts, Goedert

Other than ETN and maybe Javonte, are any of those other RBs going to start?
I think TE is okay, but getting a 3rd would've been okay.
Definitely would've taken 3 QBs if I had Cousins (or any QB over 30)

For rb I generally have been trying to just grab upside guys, but yeah looking back at this one, I think I needed another one around rd 9-10ish
For qb whenever ive been getting one of the top 3 (Allen, Hurts, Lamar) I’ve been only grabbing 2 but I think you make a v good point w Kirk’s health, wish I’d grabbed Maye late to pair w Polk and Ladd bring back

This is a spot where I would have skipped the opportunity to correlate Cousins with London and picked another RB. Maybe try to push Cousins back a round or grab Mayfield to go with Godwin and McMillan. Maybe even wait a bit later and grab your second QB. You're banking on Hurts to carry this team.
Your RB room is very weak. You'll need to get lucky here.
You are very strong at WR. I'm a big fan of Ladd. I think Polk is gonna be very good.
I'm fine with just going Pitts/Goedert

Yeah that makes sense in terms of skipping the cousins correlation to grab another rb

If you had one more reasonable point getter at RB I would be on board with going with some upside guy's. We love upside guy's in this game but we don't want zeros in our lineup.
As played, getting Maye as a third would have been a good.
I'll gladly take the L if I'm wrong, but I'll have 0 guys from the Pats.
Not really seeing where the points will be coming from.
Last draft for a while for me (want to do the rest closer to the season).
This was a weird one, there was a very late run on QBs and I ended up being stuck with literally only Maye and AOC in the last few rds. I was holding off bc there were so many left late and then 6 QBs were taken in a row fml
Qb - Lamar, Maye, AOC (Maye and Lamar have the same bye)
Rb - CMC, Moss, Benson, Kendre, Lloyd
Wr - Nico, Aiyuk, Godwin, Worthy, Lockett, Palmer, Pearsall, Bateman, Corley, Bourne
Te - Andrews, Okonkwo
