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
I hope he doesn't climb back to the 4th lol. I think he should stay in the 5th/6th, even with the 6 games known now. Between the 6 games + the bye, he is still guaranteed to miss half of the regular season. Part of the reason I backed off, is because I was having trouble taking him over guys like Hunter, Egbuka, Golden, Pearsall, etc.
You didn't like Skat before the injury? I took him because I waited on second RB. I knew he was healthy and wanted an upside guy knowing my number two was lacking. I also knew I was gonna go with at least 6 RB's.
I liked him okay pre-draft, but not so much post-draft based on his landing spot.
I just think Tracy is way better.
If he had gone to DAL or CHI, I'd probably like him quite a bit.
Also, Rashee to the moon! I backed off drafting the last few weeks, since I was already overweight. But the first 6 games is a big win. I'll sprinkle him in a little bit the rest of the way.
I did take him at 81 in a Marathon slow yesterday. Cha ching!
He should have been suspended for the year for what he did.
Fantasy wise 6 games is still a lot and they have a bye week 10. Not having your stud for 7 out of the first 10 weeks is rough. You would think there would be a little rust the first couple games back. It's good news for my Mahomes shares. I'm not sure it's "to the moon" news.

I went to ASU so my judgment is probably clouded. I love the guy. I loved how he played in the college playoffs. I still think he can prove the nay sayers wrong and be a solid back in the league. The Giants isn't the best landing spot but they should have decent QB play this year whether it's Russ or eventually Dart. Tracy is clearly ahead of him but I am hoping Skat can be a late season riser. Hopefully my other dudes can keep the ship a float.

It is to the moon news if you've been paying attention at all. We already knew 6 games was the most likely outcome. The first 6 games is absolutely the best case scenario, given what the other timelines could have looked like. The hope was that they would come to an agreement ahead of the season, and if not, at least ahead of the 9/30 hearing.
Worst case was that after the first 4 games, he has the hearing, doesn't like the result, appeals, blah, blah, blah, and then the suspension lands some or all during the fantasy playoffs, which would have been a complete disaster. This scenario is why I was drafting the other good WRs over him for the last few weeks.

I agree this is the best case scenario. If it was 10 or 8 weeks I was out. If it was the late September hearing I was out. This situation makes it close enough to where if you are out I wouldn't blame you and if you are in I wouldn't blame you. 4th round I'm out. 5th round maybe. If I go WR heavy early sure. This is certainly good news but not "Too the moon news". "Too the moon news" would be if we knew he wasn't going to be suspended until next year.
The likelihood of suspension being pushed to next year was pretty much at 0% once he accepted the deferment deal. It was in the best interest of all parties to come to this agreement and knock it out ASAP. The CBA also made it very unlikely the suspension would be more than 6 games.
The problem since the 9/30 hearing was set is that we had no idea which 6 weeks it would be, other than it would not be during the first 4 weeks, which was not ideal. Now we know.
Rice went 43 on Pete's stream right now. It was ahead of Tet. That'll be a nope for me.
Just do what I did and get them both 😀
Mahomes, JJM
Bucky, Cook, Pacheco, Allgeier, Giddens, Brooks
JJ, Tet, Rice (53), Keon, Shaheed, Burden, Teslaa, Thornton
Goedert, Chig

This is the type of WR room you will need if you draft Rice. A couple studs at the top. Keon and Shaheed should provide weekly points. Burden and Tesla could be really good. Thornton might do some MVS type things.
This is a nice team.

I was just using the suspension being pushed to next year as an example of "Too the moon". I knew it wasn't a possibility.
lol if it wasn't a possibility, then to the moon would be the best case scenario, which is what we got. Anyways, it's just semantics and I was excited about finally having a resolution and the fact it ended up being the best 6 weeks of the year.
I'm just happy I play the guy who drafted Rice in week 1
That was the Milly. The team is:
Spoiler
Fields, Trevor, Bryce
KW, Breece, Mason, Tuten, Spears, Giddens
Nabers, BTJ, Evans, Tet, Addison, Aiyuk, Horton, Reynolds
Warren, Sanders, Arroyo
Doesn't feel great having both Addison and Aiyuk, but Aiyuk fell to 155 lol. Also helps that I started 4 straight WRs.
Also drafted the $15 single entry Button Hook.
Spoiler
Dak, Stroud, Ward
Bucky, Harvey, Pollard, Blue, Sampson, Kendre
CD, JSN, Davante, Downs, Kirk, XL, Ayomanor, Noel
Warren, Schultz, Muth
The truth serums have arrived.
B-R-R-R-R-R-R-REAKING NEWS!
Draft all the rookies!
Spoiler
That made me laugh out loud lol. Fade Spags.
Meanwhile, lowest I've seen Aiyuk. It was The Golden 2, where I think he is actually not a very good pick lol. But my internet cut out and I autoed him. I probably would have taken him anyways, as my WR room was a little boring and has coverage. Need to make the finals and then have a big Balt/GB game.
Lamar, Fields
Breece, Conner, Jones, Skattebo, Keaton, Giddens
JJ, AJB, Wilson, Reed, Bateman, Doubs, Aiyuk
Goedert, Ertz, Juwan
Separate rant, **** Underdog's new domain update or whatever it was. Not only was I hit with those advance cash fees, but you can't be logged in on more than one device anymore. So if I log in on the phone app, I get kicked out the browser and vice versa. And every ****ing time I pull up the phone app, I have to enter my username and password. That did not used to be the case. It's driving me crazy and not ideal for how I usually handle things, as I'm on both the browser and the phone app plenty. I'm getting tired of having to log in every time I switch between the 2. Not to mention, when I am drafting on the computer and have issues, I want to immediately be able to go to my phone to pull up the draft.
Strange. I haven't that had issue yet with not being able to easily switch between PC and mobile.
And speaking of a big BAL/GB game. Here's a Puppy I just did where we have 6 of the same players.
Lamar, Fields
Saquon, Achane, Mondre, Najee, White, Brooks
Wilson, Waddle, Rice, Reed, Keon, Bateman, Ayo
Goedert, Chig, Likely
I like that one too.
I’ve been stacking GB/Bal quite a bit this summer. Two good offenses that should be vying for playoff spots.

I don't have access to check, but I'm guessing GB/BAL is among my highest W17 stacks.
Tried out 2 truth serums from that video in this one.
1. Hero WR - WR1 in Round 1 and then WR2 in Round 5.
2. Herzig's idea of punting TE by using your last 3 (or 4) picks on the position.
I'd like to try both again, but with taking my WR2 in Round 4 and going with a 2 QB team.
Maye, JJM, Penix
JT, Hampton, Breece, Blue, Shipley
Nico, DJM, Diggs, Addison, Higgins, Mooney, Coker
Chig, Jonnu, Arroyo
I think the hero WR is probably more viable on DK, but that one can work if that group exceeds expectations behind Nico.
I think a 2 QB team will feel better. I’d use at least one of the early selections on QB or TE ending at 2 to give yourself an extra roster spot. And sometimes I like mixing in the 1-1-1-1 start.
As far as the late TE, I prefer one in the round 8-12 window and then two late more than all 3 late. But that’s a solid group for 3 late. There are always late TEs that beat ADP.
I think I have less than 10 hyper fragile builds, but the hardest thing about them is it’s really hard to not take falling rb values
Dak, JJM, Tua
JT, Jacobs, Breece, Kaleb
CD, Waddle, Jeudy, Addison, Kirk, Horton, Slayton, Malik
Goedert, Ertz, Gesicki
