Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Hey all. I thought it would be cool to have a fantasy football thread on the main board. The FF sub-forum doesn’t seem to get a lot of traffic. I reached out to @Simon and while not a traditional practice here at TBD, he kindly agreed to pin a thread for about a week or so. Maybe another one around the trade deadline depending upon how this goes. As many people are holding their drafts this weekend, this seemed like a good time. Please feel free to post your roster for evaluation, discuss your “sleeper” players, draft strategy and anything else FF draft related. This is from my son’s league which drafted on Monday. Eight team re-draft league. One point PPR. I picked 4th. My team: QB: Jayden Daniels RB: Jahmyr Gibbs RB: De’Von Achane WR: CeeDee Lamb WR: Tyreek Hill Flex: Jaxon Smith-Njigba TE: TJ Hockenson D/ST: Bills K: Tyler Bass Bench: Caleb Williams, Tony Pollard, Calvin Ridley, Emeka Egbuka, Kyle Pitts, Kaleb Johnson, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Thoughts? I’m trying to think of someone to drop so I can pick up another defense/ST. I released Jacoby Meyers to add Egbuka, and Pacheco to pick up Croskey-Merritt. 4 Quote
Mike in Horseheads Posted August 29 Posted August 29 I keep reading great things about Egbuka, good pick up 1 1 Quote

I’m assuming not many teams in your league? 1 Quote

So I assume Gibbs was your first pick? I draft on Tuesday. 12 team redraft league with a half point PPR. (Old school commish fought 1 point ppr, so we compromised). I have the #4 pick and figure it will go Chase, Bijan, Jefferson and then I will go either Gibbs or Lamb, depending on my mood. Not sure how you got Lamb and Gibbs. Kudos to you. 2 Quote

Sojourner Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Great team, I always feel those 8 man leagues end up with stacked lineups. Always been a fan of 12 team leagues for that reason, to each their own though. This is my $125 buy-in league, a 12 man, auction and keeper league (3 allowed. No duplicates from the year prior): QB: Josh RB: Breece Hall RB: Aaron Jones WR: Ladd McConk WR: Calvin Ridley TE: Mark Andrews W/R/T: Jammy Williams (Bench: Mixon/Purdy/Keon Coleman/Rashee Rice/Jordan Mason/Jake Ferguson/Trey Benson) my other 2 leagues are $25 buy ins and regular snake draft - 12 man, one I feel great about: QB: Joe Burrow RB: Devon Achane RB: James Cook WR: Malik Nabers WR: Cam Sutton TE: Tyler Warren W/R/T: Egbuka (Bench: Stroud/Breece Hall/David Montgomery/Chris Olave/Matt Golden/Shakir/Colston Loveland) My thing I got into last year is the 14 teams Guillotine drafts on Yahoo. Lowest scorer each week is eliminated. It’s free but there is prizes throughout the season. 3 1 Quote

Lowest scorer each week is eliminated. It’s free but there is prizes throughout the season. Never heard of a guillotine league. Seems like a fun idea. This is a free league run by my son. My regular league in a 10 team league and the draft is on Sunday. I love Tyler Warren. I think he could have a Brock Bowers type season with the Colts. What are you going to do with Joe Mixon? Sounds likely that he may miss the season. Also Rashee Rice? Can you stash him on IR with his suspension? Also love Colston Loveland in that Ben Johnson offense. I think Caleb Williams, Loveland, Swift, DJ Moore, and even Luther Burder could have big years. Quote

In that offense he should be a target machine operating out of the slot for Baker Mayfield. Definitely WR2 potential. 1 1 Quote

Just waiting a day or two to see if any word comes out about Bass. I initially drafted Jason Sanders, but he went down. Got my eyes on the 70 yard kid, Cam Little. 1 1 Quote
BillsFooteball Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Stacked roster but that’s common with 8 team league. Have some great options and flexibility. I would just think about kicker which I see from post above you are on it 1 Quote

All the top 6 guys were retained as keepers as were the usually 5 WRs in most leagues so even then you’re limited on who to buy off the bat. The only top RBs that were in the pool was CMC and Jeanty. CMC ended up going for $74 and Jeanty $71… no thank you lol (They add a $6 amount onto what they were bought for last year if you’re designating them as a keeper, so that’s a no from me to keep Amon for $69) Quote

KCNC Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Get a kicker who is not hurt and does not have to fight the wind, rain and snow. Quote
frostbitmic Posted August 29 Posted August 29 (edited) I had my first of two drafts Tuesday night, my second is tomorrow night. This is a traditional scoring league at NFL.com but has two extra players and plays two flex players and two Kickers. this is a 10 person league and I had the first pick, can you guess who ? QB - Josh Allen RB - Josh Jacobs, Alvin Kamara WR - Nico Collins, Tyreek Hill Flex - Courtland Sutton, Aaron Jones TE - Mark Andrews DST - Ravens K - Harrison Butker, Daniel Carlson Bench - C J Stroud, Zach Charbonnet, Keon Coleman, Deebo Samuel, Cade Otten, Lions.
