Looking to sign up for best ball on underdogs!
What is the difference between The mini Schauzer versus Best ball mania V versus the marathan?

Thanks!

Little different from my usual builds

QB - AR, Kyler

RB - Bijan, Zeke, Charb, Chandler, Gibson, Roschon, Mattison

WR - MHJ, Devonta, Flowers, JSN, Samuel, AD, LMC, Zay, Hyatt

TE - Pitts, Goedert

Changing things up. Have a season long question

I have some time to make the decision

Pick 1 keeper from this group ($200 auction 10tm .5 ppr, qb/2rb/2wr/te/2flex)

I have $275 (minus Chase kept for $35), 1 tm has $150, another has $175, the rest have $200 (due to trades from last year)

Almost all of the first rd will be kept except one of Breece/Ajb

I can keep

JT for $28
Rice for $5
McBride for $5

If we know Rice won’t be suspended this year, I’m guessing it’s Rice, but what if it’s still ambiguous?

If I kept Rice or McBride they’d be $15 next year and $30 the year after

JT would be $38, then $53

Guerendo is a cheat code in Madden 25. 21 carries for 107 and 4 TDs and 5 catches for 117 and 1 TD.

The mini schnauzer and best ball mania are basically the same structure with different advance rates and final sizes for the playoffs. Both have a week 1-14 league pod with your draft mates and then weeks 15, 16, and 17 are playoff pods. You can see the advancement structure, payouts, etc. in the tournament details on Underdog.

The Marathon is weeks 1-17 cumulative scoring against the entire draft field.

I don’t play keeper leagues, but I do think it’s between Rice and McBride. Especially since that gives you $23 more of leverage when you’re already the richest drafter.

I know it’s not TEP, but being 10 team and only having to start 2 WRs, I kind of lean McBride. It’s possible he’s more valuable at $15/$30 the next two seasons than Rice. Especially if we assume Rice faces a suspension next year, if not this year.

It’s not as cool as I thought. I hope they add the option for only players with the same game time or who play in a later game.

QB - Tua, Cousins, Maye

RB - Bijan, Achane, Dowdle, Braelon, Herbert, Mason

WR - Waddle, Higgins, Mclauren, Watson, Sutton, Mooney, Douglas, Malik

TE - Pitts, Njoku, Dulcich

Thanks for breaking it down! Does that mean that Marathon league will be decided in the final week 17 by the team that has scored the highest amount of points total during the 17 week stretch?

Guy in this draft got a naked Mahomes, JJ, and Maye.

QB - Trevor, Geno, Bryce

RB - Achane, Zamir, Spears, Benson, Roschon, Foreman

WR - Wilson, DK, Flowers, Kirk, Lockett, Legette, Mingo, Rice

TE - Engram, Otton, Likely

I love this team, but remember I'm a super-newb. Been trying to get an elite 2 QB build with AR, Kyler, Lamar, Jayeden. Hasn't happened yet, but I'm only a dozen or so drafts in.

RB should be OK, but the WR/TE has a good chance to pop.

One thing that would help a guy like me would be if you posted the game, UD or DK, and most importantly what your draft position was. If this team was from the 1.10 or later, I love it. But if it's from the first 3 picks, not so much.

Went off the rails with this one. From 1.12

QB - Mahomes, Watson, Nix

RB - JT, Warren, Moss, Dillon, Laube, Shipley

WR - MHJ, Rice, Worthy, Jamo, Jeudy, M. Wilson, Robinson, Mims,

TE - Njoku, Muth, Dulcich

Jj McCarthy out for year .

DK is illegal in Texas so I can only draft on UD. Thanks for using draft position. Helps me a lot anyway.

No problem, and that’s correct.

There will be a leaderboard to track weekly scoring progress.

Now Addison is injured. The Vikings should just pack it up and come back next year.

Jefferson to the moon though !

The JJ faders will feel max pain. He's going to beat quadruple coverage like no one ever has before.

If anyone can do it he can .

I've been fading Jefferson and now I am fading him even more. I wouldn't touch him in redraft. I'll have a sprinkling in best ball. Mullins was ok for JJ last year because he has always thrown for a lot of yards. Darnold has not. I think Jefferson is gonna be the "We should have known better" player this year. He will get his targets and he will have his spike weeks but there will be frustration along the way. The vibes are not good in Minnesota. I can see a situation later in the year where JJ gets an injury and the Vikings decide to just shut him down. If I get pick 5 and he's there I'll take him in best ball because I'm open to being completely wrong on this. Every "expert" seems to have no worries about him.

The good news hopefully is that "carted off" doesn't have the same meaning in training camp as it does in a regular season game.

I mean I did just play a game as the Vikings in Madden with Darnold as the QB, and JJ had 14/266/5

😆

With this new data coming in I may have to move him up to pick 1.

lol

I’ll take my 8% in best ball and call it a day. I don’t have any dynasty shares and won’t have any redraft shares unless he’s an insane value.

And yeah, cart in training camp definitely doesn’t mean the same thing as during a game, even if everyone is over dramatic when posting about it on X.

Hopefully Addison is fine. He’ll also be a redraft fade, but I have a couple of dynasty shares. I guess he might drop even further in best ball. When the decision is Sutton, Shakir, Palmer or Addison, it’s really hard not to take Addison.

I have 22% Jefferson and have him in dynasty . We shall see how he fares this season .
