2024 Fantasy Football Thread

I've got a snowballs chance of hell of squeezing into playoffs, but if I do, I love my team.

Need to avoid a 29+ spot from Cooks; that should be easy.
But need the guy I'm chasing to get a dud from Cincy D. Very possible, but I literally need 1 pt or less out of them for him to lose.

So I am already looking forward.

What does round 1 look like in redraft next year? In no particular order:

Barkley
Chase
Bijan
Gibbs
Kyren
JJ
Lamb
Nico
Puka
CD
ARSB

That's my rough cut at the top 11 picks in no particular order, assuming no significant QB or roster changes.

First turn options: Achane, AJB, Henry, Breece, Kamara, MHJ, Jacobs. Doesn't feel particularly deep though.

How high does Bowers go?
How far does CMC drop?
How far does Reek drop?

I would think Achane goes top 3 and Kyren goes closer to the turn

Just gut feeling

Barkley
Chase
Achane
JJ
Nico
Gibbs
Puka
Bijan
Kyren
CD
ARSB
Nabers

Bowers, Breece, AJB, Btjr, Henry, Kamara are all probably in the 2nd rd

Tee Higgins I’d imagine will be a 2nd rd pick as well

Have the feeling Chase Brown will be good for me in DFS tonight, but cost me a bit in BestBall.

Ok the Chase Brown TD didn't really drop me in BB.

Just got forced into the highest w1 playoff bestball advance rate team of all time. Had hurts and Lamar available so went with AJB with Allen and 1 other behind me. Guy dbl clicked hurts Lamar lmao

Don’t hate this squad though if the playoffs get weird

Stroud

Barkley, Mixon, Gainwell

AJB, JJ, Nico, Addison, Dell, Schultz

Considered adding a chargers out w Ladd, Herbert, Dobbins/QJ but got sniped.

In hindsight Gainwell is probably a worthless pick here since I need Texans/eagles and have Saquon and mixon. Guess it works if Barkley gets hurt in the nfc championship or something just wanted to add an eagle, but probably should’ve gone Dotson/calcatera

Just lost 2 . I’ll take it.

Only advancing 13%

I advanced 33/150

very nice!

May we all run good

Wow. I sure ran good to keep my remarkable success making the fantasy playoffs going. In 29 years over 60-70 leagues, I've only missed the playoffs once in 2017 when I drafted David Johnson 1.01 and he tore up his knee the first quarter of the first game.

Entering this week, I needed to win to get in for two of my leagues. In one after facing Allen and Puka, I was down by 38.5 entering tonight with Chase vs Higgins. I was still down just less than 10 when Chase got that last TD.

The other one, look at this draft: 1.01 CMC, Etienne in the 2nd, Aiyuk in the 4th, Pittman in the 5th, Stroud in the 6th. Not only did I need to win this week but I needed to finish with a top 5 score (median win) while my opponent was in the bottom five. This somehow happened. I won and finished top 5 with a lineup featuring six of 10 players I picked up from the WW. And my leading scorers, Addison and R White, were basically throw-ins on trades. My opponent had Bucky, so the White-Bucky dynamic was key. But I had little hope of my opponent with Chase and Barkley finishing bottom five on the week. Somehow with the Chase game, I straddled the line of me getting the miracle game from Chase while my other opponent still didn't get top five.

And in my third league, I completed my first undefeated regular season in these 29 years playing fantasy football.

Only 11% advance rate in bbm unfortunately, slightly higher in the lower dollar contests, but well below “expected”.

Hopefully I luckbox my way to 1 final

Advancing in 3 of 4, getting a bye in 1. But time for a stupid brag post, so don't read more if you dont want.

Just had the most epic week, scored 272.8 points, 2nd highest for the week was 180 (6 other weekly scores this season >200, 2nd highest was 217). We have a deeper team including 3 DP and have 100 yard and 300 passing bonuses.

My bench consists of:
Nico Collins - Bye
Courtland Sutton - Bye
Jaylen Warren - 9.2
DJ Moore - 10.9
Chuba Hubbard - 20.7
Isaac Guerendo - 26.8

Lineup (non kicker / dp):
Darnold - 49.58
Najee - 11.3
Chase Brown - 24.3
Zach Charbonnet - 43.3
Puka - 46.8
Ja'Marr Chase - 51.1
Trey McBride - 14.0

So I had
QB - #2
RB - #1, #2, #5, #8 (plus Najee and Warren)
WR - #1, #2 (plus DJ and bye guys)
TE - #4

Time to empty the FAAB - rank these options:

Doubs - @SEA
C. Watson - same
Jalen McMillan - @LAC

Isaiah Davis - @JAX

Do you need a RB or WR more? Is Patrick Taylor or Sincere McCormack not available?

Is it points scored that's the tiebreaker for teams with the same record? If so then i've got #1 seed wrapped up woohoo

Depends, but normally points scored is the tie breaker. In a couple of my leagues it’s h2h

My top bbm team advancing is a bit more live than the last time we posted these haha

Worst single season of fantasy in all my years of playing.

2 of 7 teams made the playoffs, 1 bye.

One team was 1st in PF, but also 1st in PA, ending in 7th place.

2 8th place finishes, an 11th, and a 12th.

1 of the 8th place finishes was a dynasty league, 1st year. Tried selling some pieces but got some terrible offers so I held.

Made the playoffs in 5th place in the other dynasty league. Had to win to get in, down 17.12 points with chase brown going last night. Played my 1st round opponent, so the playoff matchup is an immediate rematch. Traded away moat of my picks for 2025 so I'll be running it back next year with a somewhat solid team, hoping to avoid injury issues but having some depth.

Team with a bye is a 2 seed and hoping to make some noise in the playoffs. We'll see.

Good luck everyone!

How many RBs can we possibly rank ahead of Charb with this KW3 injury? In PPR.

80% snap share, not many guys doing that right now in the playoffs. Are there even 5 guys ahead of him?

Not many. Charbs is a must play if KW misses again, which seems like a real possibility.

That’ll play

That's a nice team. Unfortunately, my top team looks pretty gross minus a few nice plays. Maybe McMilan will continue the success he had this week, and KW will be out for an extended period.
