2024 Fantasy Football Thread

Ah ok gotcha, I misread it. Saw on bbmdb that I was expected 80% advance but advancing 59%, sounds like that’s because of the 5 or lower thing. Glad I autod that contest haha otherwise wouldn’t have had time to max

Ya, Pat posted earlier that the expected advancing has been updated to include the wildcard teams too.

Advanced 1 team in my best ball attempts - and it'll be tough to win another round as my only TE remaining is Jatavion Sanders (also had LaPorta and Ertz).

Lost Skattebo.

Remaining potential difference makers:

qb: Lamar and Bryce Young.

Wr: amon-ra, tet, jsn, pearsall, flowers

Rb: kyren, Achane, tuten

In my first dynasty league (drafted for the 23 season), i finished last and got the #1 overall pick. Last year, in year 2, I made the playoffs and lost in the first round. This year, year 3, after trades, waivers, rookie drafts, I finished #1 overall and have a good shot at a championship!

In total, between redraft and dynasty, I made the playoffs in 5 of 8 leagues, and the 3 i missed were dynasty leagues that I had no playoff expectations during rebuilds anyhow.

Philip rivers was truly horrendous the last time he played football. Complete noodle arm. Don't the colts remember that? I'd easily roll with Brett rypien over him.

A lot of fun names there, but not having a TE will be tough to overcome. Brutal run out on LaPorta and Ertz. Good luck!

I thought the same, then I looked at his stats from his last year with the Colts. It wasn't as bad as I remembered, at least on paper. I do remember him not having much velocity. And that was 5 years ago. I doubt the guy has been staying in football shape. I guess they figured it'll be bad enough with Rypien or Leonard, why not roll the dice. Rypien basically has no experience and was undrafted. Leonard is a 6th round rookie with an underwhelming college career.

Ultimately, the Colts are screwed no matter how you look at it.

My core advancing ended up being 273 compared to 227 expected combined for DK/UD. There will be a few more wildcard teams added. 12/50 in BBM. 2 in the top 10k for the regular season LB. 14/50 in DK Milly.

I also tracked slow entries compared to fast entries on UD, since I can actually name my contests.

My slow entries advanced 151/674 = 22.4%. My fast entries advanced 104/489 = 21.27%. It's not an equal overall comparison due to some contests having different advance rates, but I think it's a pretty good representation to show there isn't much expected difference between slow drafts and fast drafts. Which has also been confirmed by research Leone has done in the past.

BBM

looking for some dynasty advice starting 1QB 2 RB 2WR 1TE 2W/R/T
im not in playoffs. i will have 3rd pick in the rookie draft and hold one other teams 1st rd pick (will be anywhere from pick 9-12)
should i stand pat or could i afford to move a kyren williams for a 27 1st rd pick or any other players for any 27 1st rd picks? Im not very high on the 26 class for rookies. thanks for any advice etc...

DK Pods are up. I'm in one with Shaidy and 2 with the guy that won BBMV last year. Nothing else of note.

I skimmed my pods and don't recognize anyone. But at least DK says my possible winnings is $12.7k. How exciting! Lol. I hate the way they list unearned cashes.

I think I'd hold tight. Since it's a 1QB nonTEP start 8 league, firsts are devalued. I think riding Kyren/Corum into next season probably makes the most sense. It's likely to be them 2 again on a good to great offense. You have a solid top 4 between those 2 and Breece/Jeanty. Won't be able to get anything for the other 3.

I also like your WRs + Fannin. If you could move Waller or Jauan, I'd do that. But you probably won't get much for either. Need to find a way to upgrade QB, but now is not the time to do that.

Only $12.7k?

Let me know if you need a loan.

Now I feel poor.

It's an oddly nice feeling going into the playoffs with your highest exposed guys all healthy (knock on wood).

16% Kraft and 13% Higbee are my only two highest exposure that are out.

These are my top advancing players

Not great having dimes as the top advancing qb, but at least all those are 3 qb teams

Gotta love fantasy football. Debating playing Phillip rivers in a superflex league .

The mis type of looked instead of look scared the crap out of me there. I thought there was an update on his injury being more severe

Same. I had Dimes. Maye is my only other QB. My other options aren’t exactly elite.

Hahah my bad. Terrible typo.

I lost Dimes and Jayden Daniels. I may just start a non qb.

Now I have the choice of Kenny Pickett also . Doubt I go that route though .

That's tough. In a vacuum, I think I'd prefer Pickett. But Rivers certainly has a better offensive team. The matchup sucks, though.

In the league where I'm debating Rivers, my opponent lost Jayden and only has Stroud. So that helps. I also picked up Brady Cook, but I think I'd go Rivers over him.

I can start 3 WRs, 1 TE and a SF from:

Egbuka
Godwin
Wan'Dale
Flowers
Addison
Metchie
Burden

Schultz
Likely
Fannin
Gadsden

Rivers
Cook

It's a mess, especially with Evans likely returning. I'm also starting Bucky.

I start Fannin and I’m not sure who else lol . I’m in the same boat . And all of my guys have bad matchups this week .

Haha, yeah I think Fannin is locked. But that weather is going to be brutal.

I'd probably play Zach Wilson and hope Tua gets concussed in the 1st quarter on Monday night before playing Rivers against Seattle lol.
