We need to talk about 2024 Fantasy Football

[Doomsday Dallas]

I think LaPorta is going to give good value for where he’s drafted. I think he’s better value than Kelce. If I can get him third round at pick 32 i’ll be happy.

There are way too many sleeper TEs to chose from this year... pass on LaPorta if you have 14 teams drafting

[1987_Lakers]

I managed to get Kyler as the 9th qb off the board so I was happy with that. Backed him up with Herbert in the 13th round. That foot injury could wipe out his fantasy relevance but it was a risk i was okay with rolling the dice on Harbaugh working his qb magic as plan b.

I think Chubb still has some tread left on the tires but it was probably a round or 2 early when I pulled the trigger in front of both Titans rb's.

Think I might grab Herbert now that I put Brooks on IR and have an open roster spot. He's available in my league.

Chubb is coming off a pretty nasty injury and might never be the same, word is he is not even close to coming back. Will miss at least half the season. But I guess it's worth the risk if you think it's worth it.

Gus the Bus as a sleeper anybody?

[warriorfan]

I am no fantasy football expert but I came away from my draft feeling like dooms nailed it




If you love Laporta get him but there were options at TE later in the draft I would not have been unhappy with.

So the draft ended up not going as planned. I know it never does but this was a little more than usual for me.


1st round 4th pick - I went with Hall. As expected CMC, Hill, Lamb went before and I had to choose Chase or Hall. I was big on chase this year, I think I talked about earlier wanting to do a Chase and Burrow stack. Chases contract brings a little uncertainty. He’s gonna get his contract but it was still enough to make me cool off and just go with Hall. It’s a RB thin draft and I wanted a Hero RB to make the rest of my roster construction easier.


2nd round 25th pick - The only RB’s I wanted at this slot was Pacheco and Achane. Pacheco was gone but Achane was there. However Josh Allen dropped to me….I was left with Achane or Allen. Achane could be amazing but he has a lot more boom or bust potential than Allen who is money in the bank. I went Josh Allen.


3rd round 32nd pick - I was thinking of Mahomes if he dropped but I had Allen and Mahomes got picked before me. I was looking for Waddle or Brandon Aiyuk at this position for WR, I didn’t like RB’s at this pick when I did mocks, I didn’t want a 3rd round RB.

But the weird happened, Travis Kelce fell to early third round and while he wasn’t on my radar at all before draft, I felt like him dropping to me I had to pick him. Like with my early Allen pick I felt like it would make roster construction easier from there on out

4th round 53rd pick - I needed a WR desperately. Devonta Smith is the best available option.

5th round 60th pick - Pick up another much needed WR with Zay Flowers. I liked this pick where I got him. Was happy about it.

6th round 81st pick - Tony Pollard. Decent value in my opinion.

7th round 88th pick - I wanted Godwin and was watching him for awhile but he got picked right before me and I settled for Jayden Reed.

Later rounds are later rounds, it is what it is




So overall my team for week one is looking like

QB: Allen
RB: Hall
RB: Pollard
WR: D.Smith
WR: Z.Flowers
WR: J.Reed
TE: Kelce
Flex: C.Samuel
Def: 49ers

No kicker. We removed it to reduce randomness. Last year we played with no defense as well but we brought it back this year for some reason.

So I have mixed feelings all in all. I have the best QB, second best RB, best Tight end…..but my WR is pretty damn weak. My number 1 receiver isn’t even the number one receiver on his own damn team…. I like Zay at WR2 though, the kid can play if he can stay healthy.

This is the most uncertain i’ve been post draft ever maybe…but part of it I think has to due with increasing the league size to 14 teams, im not used to gauging teams in a 14 team league.

Here we go for another year. Good luck to everybody.

Drafting Kelce with Aiyuk & Waddle still on the board is very risky, especially when you consider Kelce is coming off one of his worse seasons & is about to turn 35. He's still a stud and will probably be a top 3 TE at worse this year, but I feel his best days are behind him.

I couldn't pull the trigger on drafting TE high... and it was hard to pull the trigger on drafting high on QB too... (but I went with Hurts in one league cause if he gets hurt or fails, I'll still be okay with that result as a Cowboys fan)

Look at Kelce compared to a player like Njoku last year... not much of a difference.

I think it's better to draft 2 late round QBs, and 2 late round TEs and fill the roster up with RBs and WRs early (for 2024)

LoL with the emotional Jalen Hurts hedge. I like that. I had Mason on my radar for the niners but I couldn’t bring myself to pick him, felt like bad juju where you are waiting for a CMC injury. If CMC goes down **** fantasy. I’m a niner fan first

Damn I don’t like those Njoku vs Kelce numbers when accounting draft position……

Still though you have to go with sample size. That’s my cope at least


To be honest I kinda agree with your sentiments of you can get pretty dope TE and QB very very late in the draft…..And my league starts 3 WR…..This seems like it might be the wrong year to go with your first WR pick in 4th round. Damn. I don’t know though these 14 man leagues become a real crapshoot. We just have to wait and see at this point.

[warriorfan]

But regardless of league size….

How do you guys feel about landing Kelce at pick #32?

At the time to me it seemed like I had to get on that.

[tpols]

Gus the Bus as a sleeper anybody?

Big time. With Jim Harbaugh back in the NFL, having been the 49ers coach back in the day who ran all day long... against a shitty bottom feeding raiders team this week. I'm going to have to bench this bum jamar chase and play Gus in the flex.

[Charlie Sheen]

Think I might grab Herbert now that I put Brooks on IR and have an open roster spot. He's available in my league.

Chubb is coming off a pretty nasty injury and might never be the same, word is he is not even close to coming back. Will miss at least half the season. But I guess it's worth the risk if you think it's worth it.

I think you are right here. The level of risk was way too high for the price i paid to pick him. First he has to get on the field for enough games to make a difference then he has to play well. I was just trying to talk myself into feeling better about it

Went with Rico Dowdle instead



Word is he might be the #1 RB for the Cowboys, added to see what he does. Zeke is getting up there in age.

I have multiple shares of him as well. The way I see it, he's the starting back on a probable top 10 offense. Zeke is washed but will vulture TDs in the redzone. Still, Dowdle should see the bulk of the carries and has receiving abilities. He actually looks pretty explosive in the film I've seen of him.

Low risk, high reward potential RB2.

At the time to me it seemed like I had to get on that.

The field will be a lot more open with Xavier Worthy in that Chiefs lineup. Defenses could get away with not covering Kadarius Toney because he was ass. Worthy is the perfect fit for this offense.

Kelce is obviously slowing down at 35, but he's still one of the top fantasy TEs in the league, who will get you 7-9 catches a game, close to 90 yards and a TD or 2.

[1987_Lakers]

Bruh, some idiot just dropped Anthony Richardson (Projected top 5-7 fantasy QB this year), because I guess he missed the draft (only player who missed it) and the auto picks got him 3 QBs so he dropped one. He had Mahomes, Dak, & Richardson.

I have the #3 waiver wire currently and I'm gonna have to attempt to grab him. Purdy is a fine option, but Richardson can be a game changer if he booms this year. The only question is who do I drop? I don't want to drop Purdy because I like him and Richardson has injury risks.

QB - Purdy
RB - Kyren Williams
RB - Conner
WR - J. Jefferson
WR - London
TE - Ferguson
RB/WR - Aiyuk
D/ST - Saints
K - McPherson

WR - Waddle
WR - Higgins
RB - A. Jones
RB - Brian Robinson
WR - Hopkins
RB - Corum
RB - Dowdle
IR (RB) - J. Brooks

keep Corum, good handcuff there...

drop Rico Dowdle cause you have Ferguson and no backup TE.



Why is nobody playing duel flex spot?

Should be double flex in every league.
