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
He still hasn’t told us how much money he won.
He said he doesn’t play dfs so he’s clearly a liar lol .
But he has all the good plays!
I'll wait to see if Miami can finish 10-7 and sneak in
Looks like a decent contest, but I’ll probably be skipping. I’ll finish out my Q4 entries, then I think a break until the pre-draft contests drop is wise.
How many more Q4 do you have? I just did my 20th
Spoiler
I'm up to 38. I'll probably end up somewhere around 50.
Just drafted this one. I'm mostly hammering WR/RB through the first 6-8 rounds then filling QB/TE with volume. I'll have the occasional w14 bye, like this one with Diggs. But I don't want too many on any one team. Typically 1-3. Though, I did build out 49ers on one and NYG on another recently. I think I had 3-4 of each on those 2 teams, including the QBs.
Spoiler
I like yours above, but TE might be too light. I have a lot of late Brissett, Mariota, and Shough.
That Eaglezzz guy has been crushing these. He cashed for something like $12.5k in Q2 and has 11 finals teams for Q3.
50 is a good number. I'll probably do 25-30.
Going heavy RB/WR early is the way to go. I'll occasionally sub a QB for WR, but I'm trying to always take 3 RBs thru the first 6 rounds.
I’m going to try to draft 10-20, have been sitting them out mostly due to being both burnt out and busy , but I should have some time today at least
I think if you spent any of the time allocated to BRs or creating DFS lineups to these contests instead, it'll be a better bet. Obviously the upside isn't as high with only $15k up top, but these games are soft. There is almost no content around them, either. Whereas there is so much content around the UD weeklies and DFS.
Like, this can't be good lol.

The advance rates are really nice too. If you maxed, you'd be expected to have 2.5 finals teams. I don't think any of the season long contests have that high of an expectation. And you're playing with a lot more information now.
They're all 20 second clocks, so you're looking at roughly 30 mins of draft time. They can take a little while to fill sometimes, though.

Yeah I think did 7 or 9 teams in the 2Q and made 1 to the finals. Then I got 2 to the finals of the 3Q out of 20 teams.
Agree they're super soft as well. Like maybe even softer than anything on DK.
This guy has been in a lot of drafts with me, and his teams are always lolbad.
Spoiler
Lmao, my god. That room is now 2/11. He may not have one receiver for W14, depending on London's injury timeline. Plus his top 2 RBs W14 too.
Seeing Penix/JK on that team reminds me of another aspect of the softness. Whether it's due to autoing or people just being really dumb, injured players that are projected to be out some or all of the contest timeframe are still regularly being drafted. I'm still taking some chances on guys like Burrow and Daniels right now, but they could also be zeros. Burrow's ADP shot up after it was announced he could be back in W13, but I definitely don't think that's a guarantee.
Hunter has finally fallen into the ADP 200s, but I still saw him being drafted at 100% after it was announced he would miss the rest of the seasons. I just double checked the 4 I drafted yesterday, and he was still drafted in 1 of them.
I missed on cheap Burrow, and he's too expensive for me now. I don't mind eating 0s, but I'd prefer them to come at least around 150 to consider.
Speaking of London's injury. I just checked and I'm only advancing 5/43 Mooney teams. Maybe that won't go up with Cousins back there throwing, but there is a sliver of hope.
I have 5 shares of Burrow. I think 2-3 were cheap. I don't mind pairing him with Flacco. I still haven't decided if handicapping QBs is good or not, but I think it's fine if the schedule is good. And because advancing through the first 3 rounds is really important. I really like the Ari/Cin W17 game. And then the other games are pretty nice too for Cin. I hope we get more clarity on MHJ. He was one of my highest drafted WRs, but I've backed off a little bit until we know more about his recovery timeline.
I'm advancing 30/159 Mooney teams. I guess that's not awful considering he was my highest drafted and how bad he's been. It would be cool for him to spike a couple of times down the stretch.
4pt pass TDs, - 2 INT, .2 pts per rush attempt
-3 pts if your QB's team losses and +3 for a win
put these QBs in order of who you would start just this week:
cousins @NO (+1.5 dog)
tyrod taylor @BAL (+13.5 pt dog)
rudolph @CHI (+3 dog)
I put them in the order I think. This is the 1st week of our playoffs where me and 3 other teams play and top 2 scoring move on. I am a proj for the most points but want to pick 1 of these guys up to either block another team or possibly start over trevvyon henderson, aaron jones, diggs or nico in PPR.
In that format, I think I'd have it.
Rudolph
Taylor
Cousins
Cousins has been so bad as a fantasy starter with Atl. And he'll be without London. I think Pit is most likely to win of those 3 teams, regardless of the spread being more favorable for Atlanta.
Taylor could score 1-2 points in rush attempts, but no chance they're winning that game.
About that Burrow 0 risk.
Good to know!
I've got 2 more drafts today, so maybe I'll see if I can get him at cost.
Burrow teams. Pulled him up in each because in the last 5 drafts, he hasn't gone past 92.
QBs were going fast in the 2nd room, so I ended up with 4 (technically 3).

Spoiler
I can see paths for both. If I had to pick, I'd go with team 1. TE might be too light on each, but those guys could also give you some spikes.
Here is a Burrow team I just drafted. Let's hope the practice reports aren't smoke haha. But after the Lamar FP BS, I don't think other teams will **** around. I think he's playing this weekend.
Spoiler
And another one. My only regret was Keaton should have been E. Wilson. But I messed up the 13/14 turn. Still worlds where Keaton provides some points. I opted for a 8th WR over a 3rd TE, but that could be wrong.
I also went Shough over Mariota to bet only on Jayden on this one.
Spoiler
Drafted my first one…
It is really bad haha
Roast me
Spoiler
Not terrible for your first one. Some notes/opinions.
1. Sounds like Hampton will probably be back, but I would've still gone 5 RBs. Saquon hasn't really flashed his upside this season, and Warren is...well...Warren.
2. I've mostly been avoiding the Panthers. Between eating a 0 in Week 14 to the tough match up against Seattle in Week 17. Not appealing.
3. I've mostly been a 4-5 onesie guy in these, but a 3rd TE makes a lot of sense for this team.
4. Stacking your QB is obviously fine, but I don't feel it's as important in this contest.
I’m gonna be honest, I meant to draft 3 tes and didn’t realize it was rd 18 lmao, I’m rusty
It feels weird being back in 18 round drafts, especially when you're used to 6x6 haha.
I think with the RB/WR allocation, I really like 3x3 for the first 6 rounds. So to newguy's point to reach 5, I think I pass on one of those RBs in favor of a WR and tack on 2 later in the draft. And especially since you have Tet. I think he needs to be a 3rd WR and not 2nd with the W14 bye, if you're going to take him. I've been mixing him in a little bit. I also have some late Chuba/XL/Coker. I've been full fading Bryce/Rico.
I mostly like 5-6 onesies, but I've mostly been punting both positions. Advancing rounds 1-3 are so important, that I like having some floor there.
I agree stacking isn't as important, especially for the first 3 rounds, but I do think it still matters for the finals.
I tried again and panicked on the tuten pick haha
This is probably too weak at rb. Probably burned two entries but I’ll get the hang of it
I don’t know the board yet so when I get sniped on a couple ppl I scramble and not well
