Anyone planning any dynasty start-ups?

No, but if I can find any better best ball setup than Fantrax, I'm dumping that place in a heartbeat.

Sleeper rules and now that they have auction there's no reason not to use it. Give them all your money.

The only reason not to is so that people in other leagues not Sleeper related get the breaking alerts, but admittedly, that's a selfish reason. But it did help me out a couple of years ago when no one else had it installed and I did and picked up some FAs about 20 minutes earlier than anyone else.

Honestly if he's on an NFL roster week 1 it wouldn't surprise me if a team ran gimmick plays to try to get him a TD. If you're in a bad position streaming TEs he might be worth a stupid gamble for a stupid position.

I mean if he's on Urban's team, this is highly likely.

One thing I didn't realize until the new schedules are out is that week 14 now has four teams on bye. So keeping the old week 14-16 playoffs would put those teams with those players at a huge disadvantage in the first week of the playoffs.

It's a new world.

The season is an extra week long, so it runs 18 weeks with 17 games and a bye.

So... Start your three week playoffs a week later and it's exactly the same and you still aren't playing in the last week

Right, that's what will happen probably. But that does affect schedules for leagues with large numbers of teams that try to use NFL rules for playoffs, 14 team leagues that played each opponent once, etc. Definitely an adjustment period.

What are the current platforms that support a customized best ball league? Fantrax and Sleeper are the only two I know, and Sleeper doesn't allow an odd amount of players.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unless they've revamped their interface lately, I'd have to pass. The last time I used it, it was not intuitive at all. Even for a league that only drafts and does nothing else....

I did some more research and Yahoo has best ball too, but it doesn't seem to allow custom personal leagues, at least from what I can tell.

Started our slow best ball draft today with .5/1/1.5 PPR for RB/WR/TE and six picks in, Kelce was third and Mahomes was fifth. No WRs yet but I'm sure they're coming.

Heres the top 75 according to 2020 production:


Yeah Tre'Quan is on my radar too because of exactly what you said. Someone there has to catch passes. My concern is that this is Tre'Quan's fourth year and he has had a ton of opportunity to take hold of the #2 role there and he consistently has not, so I'm wondering if a change in QB would change that? Like... maybe Brees just didnt look his way much because MT was always running slants?

As a Saints fan, I can just tell you that Trequan has the knack for catching record passes, but otherwise, he's been a disappointment. I've been trying to grab as many shares of Callaway as possible because he may end up as the #1 WR by next year if Thomas is traded. And if not he will make a hell of a number 2. Callaway has a good rapport with Jameis, at least in training camp and it showed in the preseason.

Dammit, I just picked up Latavius. Man, he must want a lot of money/term if the Ravens went with Devonta

I think he was making 3 million with the Saints when they cut him after refusing a pay cut.

You all can ignore this but I just need to salt/dramapost so I can sleep tonight. I’m on the left.



I’ve come in last in this keeper league two years in a row, and this will probably be year three. I don’t understand how anyone can be this bad at fantasy football. I do the Beersheets and Fantasypros and all the experts and weekly articles. I’ve done research, I’ve “gone with my gut”, I just can’t seem to form a reliable team. Every year it feels like my picks all bust and even playing the waivers isn’t enough to supplement my team. Am I just doomed? Bad? Unlucky?

I know it’s only Week 1 and means nothing but holy poo poo what an absolutely demoralizing start to the season.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. I’m not giving up on the season and maybe I’ll be back here in a few weeks gloating about my team but I just needed to vent.

Maybe you need to use the George Costanza opposite way of managing your team.

Does dropping Devin Singletary for Kenyan Drake make sense? They had the same number of points with Jacobs playing and Moss out. It feels like Drake has much more upside. (Im also carrying Cook, Darrell Henderson and Hunt.)

Definitely does now with Jacobs out.

Why are the Vikings so stupid? I have Cook and picked up Mattison before week 3, but the Vikings are going to gently caress around with their entire offense's ankle against the loving Lions so both Cook and Mattison are loving crapshoots.

Cook's out today so fire up Mattison.

Man I know fantasy is ebbs and flows but this is my toughest year ever so far. 3-2, 3-2, 3-1 (hopefully after tonight) and then five teams with one win or less. I would love to go on a run with that 0-5 team but it’s crazy.

Write me down on the AJ Brown disappointment bandwagon. Only starting him because my other options (Tyler Boyd, Rondale Moore, Jakobi Meyers) are equally unreliable.

My only hope here is that the Bills start crushing them so bad that they're forced into pass-every-down mode.

Honestly Jakobi Meyers hasn’t been too bad for me as a WR3.

That feeling when you want to start Aaron Jones but you have no 3:00 players at all. If I had to flip a coin I guess he doesn’t play but it would be nice to know now.
