Welcome to the 2024 fantasy season, where I'm officially addicted to best ball. I've been drafting since the end of Jan

I think it’s better for jcm that he’s sitting

I bought JCM in my auction yesterday for $7.

I have no idea if this is good or not, but excited to have him!


If you don't have JCM yet in BBM or the Millie you are just gonna have to take the loss. If he falls to a current reasonable price and you are desperate for an RB you can take him assuming you are strong at the other positions.

If you are in a time box that is starting now he is the perfect zero RB target. You can pull him up as early as you deem necessary. His closing ADP is far from settled. I grabbed him in the 10th yesterday to go with Barkley. I saw him go in the 7th in another draft. Round 8 is about where he should settle.

It appears he is the real deal. Action should have been taken a couple weeks ago regarding drafting him.

I think you did good. He sounds legit. It sounds like he would have gone much earlier in drafts if things played out differently for him. I love betting on the unknown upside. I love taking advantage of the ever increasing drum beats we hear in the off season. He is playing for a team that will score a ton of points. $7 seems like a good price for a guy who is probably starting.

2 words...Arthur Smith

I like DK more than most, but I wouldn't touch him at the 3/4 turn.

I've only taken Rodgers when desperate.

This is why their ADPs are so low. I like to take advantage of the hive mind when I see potential. The good news is I don't have to take DK at the 3/4 turn and I can still wait on Rodgers. This reminds me of when I was taking Keenan Allen in the last round of every draft before he had a team. People were saying "He's dust and teams would have signed him by now". Well, He's going in the 12th round now and probably should be going slightly sooner. He couldn't have a better landing spot.

I still think Rodgers can sling it. Tomlin isn't dumb and certainly wouldn't entrust his Super Bowl window to a guy who is "dust". Rodgers locks into his number one and that is DK. I don't think their running game is gonna be anything special. I think they are gonna be forced to chuck it more than people think.

That offense will be lucky to run 60 plays per game. Jonnu is my favorite click of them all. Rodgers is a fine price. DK is tough, because there are so many good players in his range. And honestly, he’s just not that good and doesn’t fit great with Rodgers. But I still mix him in because he could run hot on TDs and big plays. Warren is my biggest fade of that offense. I might h

I agree with everything you said except Warren as I have a ton

In terms of w17 you’re most likely right, but I try not to get that precise in this stuff, lots of games we thought would suck have been high scoring. Obv this situation is unlikely here though


Back to UD

Had to back stack all my QBs due to craziness in the room

Would you have taken Bech for the Geno stack or Giddens bc we didn’t need another wr?

Stroud, Geno, Ward

Jeanty, Harvey, Jones, Ekeler, Marks, Giddens

Nabers, Adams, Evans, Hunter, Pittman, Ayomanor, Noel

Loveland, Andrews


So this isn't good for the likes of Dobbins and Pat Bryant?

Tomlin entrusted his SB window to Fields and Russ last year. Rodgers was a last resort option. So yeah, he might be dumb.

A lot of the Rodgers WR1 narrative has been chucking it to Davante for many seasons. And Davante is way better than DK. DK doesn’t separate, he wins with size and athleticism. Rodgers doesn’t like to throw a bunch of contested targets, because he really tries to avoid ints. It’s going to be easy for the defense when DK is the only NFL caliber WR on the field.

I won’t let w17 dictate decisions, but I’ll certainly let it sway. The Browns and Steelers are already two offenses I’m not excited about. The fact they play in w17 helps accentuate being light on both. That game might not clear 40 for the o/u.


Who do we like better in 1/2 ppr redraft between RJ Harvey and Treveyon Henderson? Why? And by how much?

Like both, but personally like Henderson more. More talented player and better draft capital . Looks like he’s legit in the small sample we’ve seen

Pats offense should be improved

At cost though I think Harvey is quite a bit cheaper so that bridges the gap quite a bit

Thanks. What kind of ADPs are you seeing? Last one I checked had them going back to back in early 5th.


Sorry I’ve been only paying attention to best ball so far, so haven’t seen redraft adps. They’re about 1rd apart in best ball but Henderson goes in rd 3 pretty often (so 2 rds)

Based on some of the discussions I’ve had with non best ball playing friends, I think most ppl are very excited about Henderson, even non-psychos that don’t start drafting in February haha


Henderson has much more upside than Harvey imo....more explosive for sure.

Henderson has been taken early 3rd round in recent best ball drafts that I've been involved in.

I finally had a chance to grab him. Picking 5th:

5 - CD Lamb
20 - AJ Brown
29 - Henderson
44 - Xavier Worthy

Next pick is at 53...hoping to snag Hubbard or should I go Pacheco?


Is it best ball? What site?

I would be dependent on who’s left and how likely rb will come back

Most likely I’d be taking Conner/Harvey or Hubbard and then Zay/Rome/Olave

Or Waddle/Hunter and hope one of Conner/Harvey/Kamara come back and if not take Zay/Rome/Olave

This is DK Milly best ball $20 buy in.

I'm 6 picks away (# 53) and RBs left are:

Breece Hall - 47.5 ADP
Hubbard - 53.87 ADP
Harvey- 58.4 ADP
Swift- 64.5 ADP
Pacheco - 66.37 ADP
Conner - 57.48 ADP

There are also some decent WRs to choose from-iff they make it to around to me:

Sutton - probably will be gone so these WRs will probably be available:

DK Metcalf
J Will
Ridley
Devonte Smith
Pearsall
Flowers

Rashee Rice - even with suspension looming?

Another interesting option would be Joe Burrow if he slides a few more picks but I don't have anyone to stack him with.

I'm 6 picks away (# 53)


I don’t draft burrow in that spot ever, but I have only like 2% burrow.

I would take whatever WRs or RBs you like the most


Breece if he's there or Jamo, DeVonta, Ridley or Flowers.

If they're gone, then Harvey or Pacheco.

What isn't good? What type of actionable intel do you think you are getting from this?


by newguyhere

Breece if he's there or Jamo, DeVonta, Ridley or Flowers.

If they're gone, then Harvey or Pacheco.

I dont think Breece will be there...I think at least RBs are coming off the board by the time it gets to me.

Assume breece and Conner go (they have higher ADP) it'll be a choice e between Hubbard Harvey or Pacheco (who I think is undervalued).

My first choice would be hubbard?

Looking down the road maybe snag Mahomes for pick 68 to stack him with worthy...but that's a long way away since I'm doing slow draft.


How early is too early to draft croskey Merritt in best ball?

Im the 84th pick (picking back to back - started in the 12th position).

Im not crazy with the WRs left - jujuan Jennings, addison, shakir or kupp.

Thinking TE either Hockenson or Tyler Warren.

Or as a dart throw should I consider croskey merrit here - too early?

QB could be an option (Prescott and Murray) but I think I'll "pass" on qb this round.

Or is there someone I haven't considered here?

Selections so far:

Thomas Jr and jeanty (12/13)

Mike Evans/Henderson (36/37)

Pearsall/waddle (60/61)

I've got 7 hours to pick...

Is this BBM or a time box tournament?

I would pass on him for sure if it is BBM because you will be against those who got him in the 18th. Also, you have two solid RB's already. If you just had Jeanty and this was a Puppy or similar pulling up JCM wouldn't be the worst decision. 84 is pretty early. I've seen him right around 95+ recently. You have a nice team so far, I would grab Warren and get a solid TE. You can fill in the rest of your RB room later in the draft.

This is the DK millions bestball tourney.

I was thinking hockenson over Warren then picking up Addison and then pick up McCarthy later on to finish the viking stack but I'm not sold on McCarthy putting up good enough numbers to make JJ, Addison and hockenson league winners.

I'm leaning towards a TE with one of my back to back picks. Its either hock or warren most likely.

Your stacking plan is fine. I'm a huge Warren fan so I'm taking a ton of him. Hock is a fine pick though.
