6. Chubb

I find it hard to argue with your rankings, but I'd put Chubb above Kamara this year. I'd almost move Chubb to #1 or #2. I think Chubb is going to have a monster year.

Also, no CMC in the list. Cuz Darnold?

Is there a "league has an opening" thread anywhere or is this the place?

6ish year old IDP dynasty league has an opening coming up. Has 1.13 and 1.08 and a pretty drat good team.

Team is Brick Squad:

That’s more than I care to spend on either a TE or a QB.

Your league is modeled after ours so I get it. But a top TE is worth it. There are 3 good TEs and then a bunch of dart throws, if Pitts lights it up then he's absolutely worth the extra $10 salary to be leaps and bounds above the guys like Gronk and Tonyan.

A plug and play top4 TE that puts up consistently more points than the guys in the 5-15 range is worth it. Kelce and Waller were over 220pts in one of my leagues, then it cuts from 150 to 110 really quickly beyond that.

It's still a huge dart throw because he hasnt played a snap, but it's not unreasonable to take Pitts.

And if Lawrence is Mahomes 2.0 who puts up consistently more points than the QB you are against every single week... Same poo poo. The "too high" salary is worth eating for points.

Just a heads up, I'm one of the guys that sold you on Mixon a few years back. I may not be good at Fantasy Football.

No one had Kittle or Waller as difference makers when drafting. On the other hand, OJ Howard, Njoku, and Engram were all drafted as top 10 TEs before they'd played a snap, as were Hockenson and Fant.

It's dynasty though. If you need a TE to win now then it's not the worst idea in the world is what I was saying.

I would never do it personally, but there is an analytics group that plays FF that would argue it much better for it than I do.

We've got another opening in our IDP dynasty league. The team is linked above. Dues are $30.83 and we're looking to draft by the end of the month.

The team finished 7-6 last year which is a wildcard contender. Finished one game out of first in the division, so almost a playoff team.

PoM wins the league this year. If Tebowfan15 has a good year from Baker then he's second. Team5 and Nerds gonna be powerhouses too, but I got money on PoM and Tebowfan.

We have that same league. It takes like 3 years for salaries to even out.

It's not a startup, so that analogy doesn't matter.

If mahomes hits FA he would go for 30 or 40 bucks. Tua would go for 6ish. The salaries are starting to even out a bunch in our league. Still have the high hitters, the expensive studs, but unproven guys like Etienne and Harris and Pitts simply can't cost the same as a home run like Zeke or Cooks.

Edit: guys who aren't home runs will get dropped after a year or two in order to be picked up at a lower price point.

The last 1.01 to actually live up to the hype in our league was CMC.

Mahomes was 3.01. Josh Allen was 4.03. Quarterbacks in a 1qb league just go in waves, people don't value them and then they are overvalued in cycles.

We had 2 or 3 years where the top picks were guys like Guice, Corey davis, n'keal, David montgomery, Rashad penny, Sony michel...

You can't have those guys costing 25 and guys like mahomes at $1. That doesn't fix the issue at all.


Edit: it's also a 12 team league with 25 slots plus 4 taxi. The waiver wire is pretty bare. If these rookies don't cost something then you have two or three guys hitting the vet auction every year that would go for 90% of the cap.

The hit rate on early first round picks is absolutely terrible. The scale can't be too large.

In my own league I refer to past seasons to see how scoring pans out, it's nice to be able to look and see for example the top scoring players of all time list and see the mix of positions there.

I am going to assume the week 16 Kamara absolutely destroying my championship chance is #1 on that list. That link can stay blue.

Is that redraft? You only need 2 RBs. You will grab a handcuff soon once an injury happens.

You have Cooks and Jeudy who can flex easy imo.

Not a bad draft but week versus week is based on fantasy luck so no one knows.

I wouldn't, just stream QB in 10 team if you already own Herbert.

Someone will go on IR in the next couple weeks, just IR or cut them and then worry about a qb. I would trust Carr more than Lance for a redraft.

Your league is modeled after our league. We allow it.

It's not worth trading Julio for a 3rd or 4th at that cost, so drop and bid is the way to go. Everyone has 24hrs minimum to place bids, right? Our league has that rule, if it's less than 24hrs then the player isn't available on waivers till the following waiver period.

Akers is done. Running backs don't come back from Achilles. Straight up cut. Pick an actual lotto ticket.

Just wait for a dude to break out. Jefferson wasn't rostered last year I bet. Neither was Robinson. Snag both, or any guys like Herbert on the cusp of breaking out. Bid on all of them, don't wait a week just to see if they repeat their weeks.

Churn the last 2 roster slots weekly (alternate weeks) for gold nuggets.
