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
No idea about week 5-8 BB strategy - but probably safe to assume the guy who took 4 QBs is dead money.
Assuming this is a SnG so stacking and other “tourney strats” shouldn’t apply. I like your QB and TE rooms. Kinda surprised McBride fell as far as he did (6.5 would be 3.11 in a 12-teamer).
I like Mason over Javonte ROS, but Mason’s bye muddles things for this format…but since this is a 6-teamer with loaded rosters, maybe the correct strategy is to prioritize “3 great weeks” over “4 good weeks”? Honestly not sure, but that’s my initial intuition with no data to support it 😀
Just did an extremely slappy thing
Traded a 28 1st for Fannin in a 2x tep ppr 14tm dynasty league
I haven’t played dynasty since 2019 but per numerous analysts, Fannin seems the real deal. I think you got the better side of the trade (and by a lot, given 2x TE prem)

Given the recent talk about simulators, is this something one of the paid products (SaberSim or Stokastic?) could help answer? Just curious. Feels like a massive edge to know how to handle the byes structurally.
I’m sure the sims would help answer it, but in this case I do think Javonte is a better play by projection in probably every week of the 4 weeks
Just as an example. Javonte is projected rb 19 by Thorman this week vs rb30 for Mason
I’m just firing 3, 3rd one is a 16tm winner take all with some friends

This seems like a smash. 1sts in 14 tm leagues are devalued, especially 3 years in an advance, + the 2x TEP.
I traded Olave for Fannin and a 26 2nd in a 12 tm start 9 SF nonTEP where my TE group is not good.
Puka is incredible
So many shows were talking bad about James Cook in the preseason and I only drafted 3% of him in bestball. And now he's smashing. So frustrating.
Yeah, unfortunately a lot of people only looked at James’s snap share and total TDs scored last year and said no way this hold.
They ignored all of the details like increased goal line work last year, the fact it’s easy for good players on good offense to run above expectation again, the fact that once they paid him he could be even more involved, the fact even with a 50% snap share he’s a huge emphasis when on the field, etc. I faded him in 2024 and wasn’t going to do it again.
Ayomanor!
Very likely going to go 9-1 this week.
Only loss is to Heels in a league I’m starting 0-2 in after going all in , in dynasty haha
Did I miss something with Troy Franklin? Was All-In on Nix but assumed it would be Sutton and Mims doing the damage.
There was some positive news on Franklin. I think most likely the broncos WRs are going to be very frustrating to predict game to game

I'm 6% on Franklin for 10-man best ball. I just mixed in him and Patrick Bryant as late round WR picks as I heard Nix would be mixing up his targets.
I guess not too bad considering I had < 5% both ARSB and Nabers, and had like 35% Cowboys DST.

Eliminators atm
1. Winning 112-102. He has Jeanty left. I have Bowers and Geno, but Geno would need to outscore Lamar to hit my lineup. Edit: I also have Najee.
2. Winning 160-101. No players for tomorrow.
3. Winning 114-107. He has Bowers. I have Stroud (would need to outscore Dak), Bucky, and Jakobi.
4. Winning 89-87. He has Herbert, Hampton, Chubb, QJ, Bowers. I have Geno, Hampton, Jakobi, Tre, and Bowers. Should be a fun sweat.
5. Losing 105-94. No chance.
6. Losing 102-86. I've got Bucky, Jakobi, and Tre. He doesn't have anyone.

Just curious about non-playoff format best ball vs the playoff format, but wouldn't stacking still be somewhat important to leverage big performances by stacks? How much less of a factor would it be in the non-tournament vs tournament format? Also, what other differences and adjustments would there be between the two formats?
Without any theory, ya it does make sense that 3 weeks out of a stronger player is better than 4 weeks from a lesser player, in a six-man contest given that the fill in players for the bye weeks would be much stronger than if you were in a ten or twelve man contest. 4 good weeks would be more important the larger the number of competitors.

Good luck. I'm winning mine 127.20-119.54. I have Herbert/Ladd still to play. Herbert needs to score more than 26.30 to hit my lineup. Ladd needs to score more than 12.50. Villain only has Egbuka, but he only needs 5.5 to hit the lineup, so it'll be a sweat.
This was probably my strongest stance I took. I obviously wasn’t predicting injury, but the price was so bad imo, so I always pushed him and he rarely got back to me
I was at 0% in SF just bc of price again

I’m basically dead in my 1 eliminator. Need like 28 or so from Nico and Hampton to just have an average game
