We need to talk about 2024 Fantasy Football

[QUOTE=tpols;14941386]A 3pt projection guy going off in 1 game doesn't prove much of anything. Is likely better than mahomes, pacheco, rice and derŕick Henry as well? It's one game. Not saying he can't be very good this season but we have to wait and see.

Kelce does look a little washed. He's played a ton of football past 5 years and he's 34 years old. Thankful the computer took Laporta over him for me.[/QUOTE]


I'm just saying this year there are plenty of serviceable TE's in the later rounds... some even going undrafted (Likely in many leagues went undrafted).

Why spend a high draft pick on one?

Reed looked great tonight. He is a big play machine. Philly secondary was pretty bad though.

With my WR core being so thin it will be clutch if he can keep it going.

RIP Jordan Love owners. You can see the pop

[QUOTE=AlternativeAcc.;14941524]Puka and Kyren going off last year won people leagues if they picked them up.

The Ravens have no WR weapons other than Flowers and the Ravens ran a ton of 2 TE sets. So even if Andrew's rebounds, Likely is still gonna get a ton of targets.

Week 1 projections mean nothing for guys like this. He's well worth an add and a good chunk of faab.[/QUOTE]

I would throw like $25 on him if I had no TE. So I agree. That doesn't mean taking a top TE in the 4th or 5th round is bad. Tight end is a ****ing waste land almost every year and has always been a coveted position for me.

I'm platinum ranked in Yahoo (and can screenshot it), and the only years I won were twice when I had prime Kelce, and once when I had Darren Waller in his only great season on the raiders in 2020 when he went off. Having a great TE gives you a massive advantage when opponents are getting goose egged with theirs. So it's possible the computer could've saved me this year.

It's not a wasteland THIS year. That's the entire point. There is no peak Travis Kelce outlier player who gives you a significant advantage if you have him. LePorta and McBride are very solid but they're not gonna dominate remotely like Kelce did.

The point is that WRs and RBs are far more valuable in the early rounds than TE when the TE class is deep and there isn't anybody that will far and away dominate the field like Kelce did.

You could've punted the entire position and get essentially the WR2 for the Ravens in Likeley with no draft investment, who will probably get similar targets to the guys going in the early rounds.

Yes but that's easy to say after the defense left Likely relatively open as the 5th option behind Lamar himself running, Derrick Henry, Flowers, and Andrews.

No pun intended... but defenses will "likely" pay more attention to him going forward. Which will open the door back up for Andrew's and Flowers and others.

I'd like to see the Yahoo start % stats on Likely in week 1. Its probably Likely less than 5%. So nobody that got him late was starting him any way because he was literally considered a back up TE in a system that is run based to begin with.

The main point isn't solely about likely though. It's about the idea that drafting TE super early this year doesn't make sense.

If I thought LePorta and McBride would far and away dominate the rest of the field? Yeah I would've taken one in an early round no question. But I don't think that's gonna be the case. It's just a much more even and deep field this year than years prior.

Kelce has a stupid adp of 28.. and then you have LaPorta, Andrew's, and McBride going early as well.

But then there's Kittle, Kincaid, Pitts, Engram, Njoku, Ferguson, Bowers you can get middle to late rounds.

None of these guys stick out from the pack. Not even the top guys. It's just a silly strategy to be drafting Kelce or LaPorta in thr 3rd ****ing round.

This may be a bold move cotton, but I think I'm starting Yoshi over Chase.

[QUOTE=AlternativeAcc.;14940394]Not really. Jefferson with Darnilold is meh... he's still the best wr in the league but the situation is terrible. Kupp is old and insanely injury prone.

That team sucks dick for a 10 team league. Hurts is the lone bright spot.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]Kobe, tell me how my ass taste[/QUOTE]

St.Brown was so worthless last night...

hope that Kittle does not do well tonight.



I had my week 1 victory at 80% up until St.Brown put up a dud... now I'm at 40%

That had to be one of the worst TE weeks of all time. :lol

And a pretty shitty week from WRs too.

Glad I did draft Kupp in 1 of my other big money leagues. He fell to the 4th and I felt obligated to take him. I still don't trust he'll stay healthy but hopefully he can carry me early.

Was able to scoop Mason up to shore up my mediocre RB rotation. This dude out here running like pacheco... violently.

If San Fran is winning they ain't rushing CMC back and this guy will be a short term RB1.

Booo-yah!

Tuddy boy.

Good comparison. Strong downhill runner who has no problem picking up chunks of 5 to 15 all day while moving the sticks. No big play home runs but is good around the goal line. If he has volume he’s a solid RB2 or flex.

This has been the game he’s gotten the most burn but it’s been nothing surprising. He has always shown this.

Thanks. He did have some homerun plays though that got called back on weak holding calls. Dude could have had 30 tonight.

Got a week one win and scored most points in the league.

Had huge games from Josh Allen and Jayden Reed. My running backs Hall and Pollard each had nice weeks as well.

Feeling good about my team now going into week 2. If my Kelce pick can end up not burning me I should be good. Love going out for a few weeks is a bit annoying. Not seeing any big games from reed anytime soon.

My squad :pimp:

[QUOTE=Doomsday Dallas;14940129]

I picked up James Cook in two leagues...

No Diggs, Gabe Davis gone... he looked great against Dallas.

only 24, plays with a great QB


Just needs to stay healthy and he should put up numbers.[/QUOTE]


and that decision is paying off in week 2

Christian McCaffrey placed on IR

that's good news to me :)

as you can see... all TEs have basically been a non factor after 4 weeks.

never draft a TE early. Just don't do it.

[QUOTE=Mask the Embiid;14940152]was drafting while working. Think i ended up with a decent team for someone not paying attention except when my pick came up.

That is a very good team. Especially when kupp is back.

I have the Monty / Laporta stack too. Montgomery has been rock solid... actually better than rock solid. And now that Detroit lost their best defender the game scripts wont always be blowouts hopefully which will finally lead to some laporta targets. Even though he did catch a 50 yard TD last week.


With Davante getting traded to the Jets my squad now has a 3 headed monster @ WR ~ Jamaar Chase / AJ Brown / Adams. Bout to turn loose on them. :pimp:

In Week 8, My starters: (.05 ppr - 10 teams)

Hurts
Lamb
Nabers
Gibbs
J.Cook
Pitts
Achane
Swift

put up over 200 points... probably the best week I've ever had.

and I got Robison Jr, K.Hunt, and J.Reed on the bench

stacked.

2024 FF playoffs are coming soon.

Puka stole all of his thunder.

Jamar Chase has carried my team to the 2 seed, but I'm worried about my Week 17 matchups in the championship. Chase is going to be shadowed by Patrick surtain that week. And probably Diggs on AJ Brown. It's gonna take a miracle to win the whole thing.

Jayden Daniels & Saquon Barkley have led me to the Championship Round.

gonna get me that Christmas Bonus $$$

Maybe that will work out well for me... I have Higgins as my #2 WR in week 17 (Amon Ra is my #1)

My team got fvcking wrekt in the semis :lol My opponent's team balled out, scored 150+ points both weeks, while my players significantly underperformed.

There's a guy in my league whose about to finish 8th place despite scoring more than all of us on the season in total points. (on the right)

His trio of Barkley, Jacob's and Kamara with TE1 Bowers and Burrow the passing yard leader decimated everybody. But happened to face the leading scorer almost every week.

Bad luck sometimes.

A tale as old as time. I have a good regular season, then once I hit the postseason, my team forgets how to play football and I essentially lay a goose egg and lose in the first round.

[QUOTE=Doomsday Dallas;14964925]Maybe that will work out well for me... I have Higgins as my #2 WR in week 17 (Amon Ra is my #1)[/QUOTE]

130 yards and 3 TDs

Yo I put you on game with that post bro. Surtain was mostly on chase. But jamarr had a decent game. Tee went off.

My opponent has started Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and Mcbride so far. Not looking good in the chip for me.

This is probably the craziest L I've ever taken in the championship game.
