2024 Fantasy Football Thread

I think I took him once or twice early on. I guess it’s Swift and Roschon.

What the Bears moves really tell me is that they are going to throw the **** out of the ball.

Sniping too?

Still a bunch of rds left, but the remaining players are pretty much useless

How’d I do?

2025 NFL Draft Notebook: This season's Bucky Irving and more fantasy football takeaways

I think you did about as well as you could at RB. Shipley a big draft day winner.

Will you be doing us the honors of making a 2025 thread, or do we just want to continue discussions here?

I figured we'd probably keep it here especially with it mostly being you, jimmy, and me haha. Maybe we can ask a mod to remove 2024 from the thread title and make it the general fantasy thread.

BBM should be dropping within the next few hours. I'm guessing around noon eastern. I'm guessing DK won't be far behind. Drafters dropped their contest yesterday.

I'm still planning to mostly take a break the next two weeks until the schedule is released. I don't see too many guys I want to chase for value right now.

Tet
Harvey
Hunter
Harris
Bech
Judkins

Seem to be the main expected rookie risers.

And then guys like

Chase Brown
Javonte
Swift
Pacheco
Ferguson

Are some vet candidate risers.

But nothing I feel like I need to chase, especially since most people drafting today and this week are aware of the same trends. You're just playing chicken over a handful of players each draft.

I also think I'm going to be more hardline in full offense fading, QB room fading, and general backfield uncertainty fading than I did last year. I'll still mostly keep my 4-16% draft range but cancelling out certain subsets of the pool should help boost the general offenses, macro bets, etc. that I want to be making.

DK is supposed to drop today. I'm just interested in seeing the entry $, but I'll probably do a few drafts just so I can get some Jags and Bears stacks before they get to expensive.

I’m very interested to see the structure of DK’s main.

Drafters increased their buy in from $15 to $20, but the prize pool is the same.

I heard speculation DK was going to $10, but I find it hard to believe with the price of everything going up. Part of me hopes it goes to like $30 so I wont' even have to consider maxing it out.

If they went back to $10, that might make me want to max lol. I highly doubt they will, though.

I definitely wouldn’t do many at $30.

Oh no, UD is going to draw me in.

BBM is live. But they also dropped a $3 Schnauzer. $500k prize pool, $100k to first, and a 20 max. I might have to fire a few today, but it should take a little while to fill.

UD has 3 clock options available. 20 secs, 30 secs, and 8 hour slow.

I'm watching Pete and Pat. Jeanty at the 1.06 in their first BBM. He went ahead of Gibbs. Cool cool.

I really wish the smaller entries were 150 max.

They have the $5 Puppy that's 150 max.

They changed up the Eliminator format and it's really cool. 6/12 for week one. Then it's 1/2 from weeks 2-16. The final is 3 person. Buy in $10, 196k entries, $1.75M PP and $200k to first. 2nd is $100k and 3rd is $76k.

8 contests have been released so far.

Yeah I just saw the Puppy. Do you know when that normally fills? I'm going to prioritize DK, but assuming their $1 and $3 contests are 20 max, I'll probably move to UD after I max those.

The Puppy usually takes 2-3 weeks to fill. I imagine this one will be closer to 3 weeks+ due to all of the contests available.

Here is what I'm thinking for each team.

Heavy 13-20%
Pats
Bengals
Jags
KC
LAC
Bears

Overweight 9-12%
Broncos
Eagles
Dolphins
Raiders
Lions
Vikings
49ers
Cardinals
Panthers
Falcons
Bucs
Commanders
Rams
Texans

Underweight 6-8%
Titans
Ravens
Bills
Jets
Steelers
Colts
Cowboys
Packers

Light 4-5%
NYG, except for Nabers
Sea

Fade 0-3%
Browns
Saints

I think that seems reasonable. I'd swap Pats and Phins.

I like to use the lines for teams total points whenever those come out.

Total points is definitely a nice way to attack it.

With the Pats, I'm happy to simply bet on last year being a complete dumpster fire with a lot of new help this year and chasing them hard. It'll probably be pretty consolidated with Maye, Henderson, Diggs, and Williams. I probably won't be heavy on Mondre or Henry.

I like the Phins, but every single one of their players has a respective risk that worries me lol.

Being underweight Bills or Ravens doesn't feel great. I'll probably aim to be about even on Lamar/Josh, then underweight all skill players collectively. The same goes for the Cowboys. I'll probably attack Dak/CD/Ferguson at an even clip and be underweight the rest.

First look ADP projection. No value lol.

Hampton, Tet, Hunter still value haha

Haha, yeah, those are probably the best but nothing crazy.

Pete/Davis are drafting now and Tet went 30. Hunter at 43 and Hampton at 44.

I might be wrong about Hampton steaming. LegUp has him ranked right around where he was going during the BB. Maybe the Najee presence will still suppress Hampton for a while. It could be a slow creep where he eventually ends up early to mid 3rd by the end of it.

This guy must hate money.
