2024 Fantasy Football Thread

I'm probably advancing 5 of 8 in the Eliminator, but only 1 of 7 in the 1st Quarter.

Caleb’s got the inaccuracy yips again

He and Trevor should get together and figure out how to fix it.

Justin Macmahan deleted all his tweets victory lapping Vikings fades in the first half.. what a bitch

Lmao, that guy is such a level 1 thinker, but he thinks he’s sharp.

I tried to delete my JJ McCarthy will make a great back up post but I was too late.

That’s what I love about 2p2. 30 minutes is forever.

PPR - $100 FAAB

Should I make a claim for Fannin or Juwan Johnson - if so, how much?

Current TE is Ferguson, who I would not drop. Curious if either of these TEs is worth rostering to potentially use ahead of him ROS.

Survived my 5 guillotines week one but a couple of them were dicier than I was hoping for 😀

Its weird seeing all of these big names on the wire. We get 1000 fab. But when you have names like Chase, Jefferson, Gibbs etc out there it's tempting to blow the whole wad right of the bat. The top 2 or 3 names in every league appears to be some sort of upgrade. My plan (for this week anyway) is to put in reasonable, keep 'em honest types of bids and try not to go nuts on any one player. I don't expect to get nything 😀 But if I do I think it will be fair.

Kinda anxious to see how the bids play out and just how cheap (or expensive) they are. There is definitely a learning curve here and I have no experience. There will be more next week! Once someone hits that I feel I just have to have I will be very aggressive but right now I am more interested in keeping my powder somewhat dry.

I'm in same boat. Both look like heavy use TEs on bad offenses. But I pretty much went all-in on Njoku who may get buried by Fannin although I heard one analyst say that Fannin would take more from WRs than Njoku?

Shaidy out there advancing 79% of his 150 eliminator teams.

That’s wild! Not as good as my 100% (1/1 lmao)

I normally hate ai, but this is incredible

Slappies unite

More best ball. I'll be sitting this one out and focusing on the weekly contests.

You don't say?

Damn I had a Lamar/Dimes team in the 1st Quarter that was advancing this morning, but must have been hit with a late stat correction as it's now behind 2nd by 0.28 points.

UD Gladiator paid out. A 2 week bonus play-through. That’s a ****ing joke. That’s not rakeback. DK absolutely smashes UD in bonus and promos.

I didn’t get paid out? Wtf!

lol the people who already blew their FAAB are not going to win. You’ll have another chance at those players.

Nico for 300 is the best value.

Nix and Juwan for cheap are nice.

Ppl are down bad on waddle lmao

Yeah w1 ppl go crazy on the faab. I bid 35% on CD, winner bid 55%

Ladd went for 20%, I bid 10%

Yeah, I’m not surprised, especially for the more inexperienced players. They see those big names and think now’s my chance.

Those people may make it further than the teams holding onto FAAB, as not aggressively bidding at the beginning puts you at a relative disadvantage and is higher variance. But I think a team spending 50-100% of their budget on a couple of players after week 1 is almost surely drawing dead to win the league.

Survive and advance while preserving FAAB is the key for the first half of the season. You only have to be better than 1.

Yikes. I hope redraft at least lol.

Yeah redraft haha

What are you guys doing with Javonte?

I sent an offer of my Javonte for their Egbuka in 10tm .5ppr, where I’m strong at RB and weaker at wr

I think that is almost for sure a win for me if accepted.

Would you make that trade for Waddle instead of Egbuka?

On paper it’s a win, but it feels not great even though waddle was much more expensive a week ago
