2024 Fantasy Football Thread

2024 Fantasy Football Thread

Welcome to the 2024 fantasy season, where I'm officially addicted to best ball. I've been drafting since the end of January. Through 95 drafts, my exposures are below. The player order is based on current ADP. Some of these ADPs have been quite fluid over the last 3 months, with FAs and rookies moving the most. Most of my exposures are structurally driven, rather than player take driven. Especially at this point in the game, pre-draft.

But there are some players I simply couldn't avoid going heavy on, like McBride and Andrews in the 5th round. I'm actually quite heavy all of the top TEs, minus LaPorta and Kincaid. I also tried to make sure I had at least 1 TE by the end of round 8, with Ferguson being the last of the group.

Also took approaches like attacking Nabers and Odunze harder than MHJ, at their relative prices.

What do we like and not like?






Rookie season is also upon us. Redraft is still 3.5 months away from heating up, but there will be rookie drafts, dynasty startups, and best ball drafts leading up until then.

Good luck to all, and may injuries and variance be kind.

That's a fun team. I want more Mahomes Kelce/Worthy double stacks. Right now, most of my Mahomes teams are taking him at the 4/5 turn either with Hollywood or pulling up Worthy a little and then adding Rice in the late 6th/early 7th.

The Puppy will be closed by tonight for anyone wanting to fire some entries.


Tried something a little different

Qb - Allen, JJ

Rb - Henry, Kamara, Pollard, Davis, Wright

Wr - Wilson, Olave, Reed, Addison, Samuel, Mwill, Franklin, McMillan

Te - Schultz, Muth, Knox

I reached for Kelce a bit at the end of the third and then reached for Mahomes at the beginning of the 4th. I don't love the WRs in this range so I figured I'd experiment a little. Mahomes is my number 2 QB behind Hurts. I'm moving Allen down to QB 4. His situation reminds me a lot of the Mahomes situation the last two years regarding the lack of great receiving options. Also, I'm not hearing good things about Coleman. They did a lot of running at the end of the year.

I'm only gonna be getting in about 15 puppies. It's been good practice. Do you know what other cheaper options they may be going to next? Does UD have single entry options? I need to figure out whether I'm gonna do BBM's or DK Millies. I probably won't start drafting those until mid July.


What sources do you guy's use to get up to the minute information on players? I always get nervous when a player falls in ADP.

I think that team turned out well.

I want to have exposure to all of the top 5 QBs, so I'll take them in any order, depending on my build and bring backs. Although, once or twice I thought about taking AR over Mahomes and Lamar and it didn't feel good, mainly to pair with Nabers, but the upside is there.

I could see Mahomes returning to QB1 with his newly added weapons and wouldn't feel like I'm punting value taking him as the top QB off of the board. Reaching at the 3/4 turn is the only way to give yourself a good chance at the double stack. But it feels real good when you take Kelce early 4th and Mahomes falls to the late 5th and then you're still able to tack on Worthy. I've only been able to do it once or twice.

I imagine the next contest UD releases will be a single entry or a less than $5 buy in smaller max entry. If you scroll through the X account below, you can see details for all of the contests they've released so far this season.

If I were you, I'd probably decide how much you want to invest total for the BBM/Millie contests and then split it 50/50 between the 2. BBM is sharper with a smaller final. DK is softer with a bigger final but slightly smaller price point. I think there is value in mixing in both rather than focusing on only 1.

I mainly use X and YouTube for all of my news and analysis. X especially is about as up to date as it gets.


Got absolutely wrecked at qb… teams were going 4 QBs completely unstacked… and I got a little greedy pushing rodgers, then got sniped on Baker

Planned on grabbing dimes/hyatt or dimes fields last 2 rds but got sniped so turned out kinda gross

May be my worst draft

Qb - Goff, Fields, Nix

Rb - Gibbs, Swift, Benson, Charb, Wright, Davis

Wr - Wilson, Pittman, Flowers, Godwin, Jamo, Mwill, McMillan

Te - Pitts, Sinnott

I like it.

Ray Davis and Jaylen Wright are my favorite later RB's to speculate on.

Definitely not the best and not a ton of w17 correlation or team correlation, but you can still get there with the Goff/Gibbs/Jamo stack. I like the RB room. Pitts, Sinnott, and the receivers can get there.

I'm about even on Wright. He feels kind of gross as the RB3 on a team in a range with mostly RB2s. With that said, Wright could go from a complete zero to a league winner real fast. He fits nicely on that team with Henry/Kamara/Pollard as anchors.

Thanks again for the great information.

Regarding Mahomes: I think Hollywood and Worthy are significant upgrades to what they had last year. When they get Rice back this could be an unstoppable offense. Maybe their defense takes a step back which would help. I agree with taking your fair share of these top QBs.

When I have three or four solid RB anchors is when I like to take Wright. He's one of the later RBs who has a legit path to becoming a league winner. All it will take is for one of the guy's ahead of him to pay massive dividends. He's basically a bigger version of Achane. My gut tells me this may be a come back to Earth season for Mostert.


I don't hate my QBs considering I waited but I feel a lot better when I get an elite guy. I was sniped on Cousins. I am higher than most on D Jones. I love my WRs. My RBs are a bit thin given J Brooks may not be at full strength to start the season. I had to take a third TE because Pitts and Conklin have a week 12 bye.

QB) Stafford, Rodgers, Jones

RB) J Brooks, B Robinson, Singletary, Charbonnet, K Miller

WR) G Wilson, London, Kupp, Flowers, Worthy, J Williams, L McCaffery.

TE) Pitts, Conklin, J Woods


The obvious concern is if he even gets many opportunities, but if he does, I really Guerendo as a 19th-20th round RB.

Speedy back in a Shanahan offense. There's potential.


I have maybe 1% Guerendo. Eli’s the rb2 and feel like Guerendo just ends up as a 0 too often to take the risk. Def better on dk than UD though


Really really struggled to get bring backs in this one, mainly bc I got an unexpected work call mid draft and got distracted haha

Qb - Lamar, JJ

Rb - Mostert, Pollard, Brob, Gus, Irving, Bigsby

Wr - JJ, Waddle, Diggs, Addison, Keon, Polk, QJ, Bateman

Te - Andrews, Jonnu

I feel like anytime you get the Lamar/Andrews stack you are gonna be in it.

It's a solid team all around.


I'm all puppied out. I was able to get 20 teams.

Josh Allen fell to the late 4th so I was able to get the Allen/Kincaid, Coleman stack. I may have moved the markets a little by talking bad about Josh. I guess more people watch this forum than I thought.

QB) Allen, B Young

RB) Conner, Mostert, Spears, Corum, J Wright, A Gibson

WR) Jefferson, Nico, D Moore, Coleman, JSN, Legette, Bateman, Tez W

TE) Kincaid, J Sanders.


I’d like some late 4th Josh. I’ve gotten a little bit of late 4th Hurts. It’s especially nice when you take Devonta at the 2/3 turn.

I hope UD waits a little bit before dropping the next contest. I’m in too many slows haha.


Not my favorite draft. Curious what you guys think

Qb : Burrow , Daniels

Rb: Taylor, Robinson jr , Zeke, Vidal, Ceh , Dillon , Guerendo

Wr: Chase , DJM, Kirk , Dhop, Keon , Johnston , Mims, Tolbert

Te: Kincaid , Hock , Likely

Likely is good, but I would have taken Gesicki instead.

Not a fan of pairing running QBs with their RB and no one else. Don't think that correlates very well.


Built a 2 7 7 2 that I’m pretty happy with although maybe too many potential 0s at rb

Qb - Lamar, Levis

Rb - Zamir, Pollard, C Brown, Dowdle, Chubb, Pierce, Estime

Wr - Chase, Waddle, DK, Nuk, B Thomas, Jeudy, Bateman

Te - Andrews, Chig

Your rbs are good. This team is really good . And if Chubb is good this could
Be a winner


Last one for the night

Qb: Love , Baker , Maye

Rb : Rashaad , Zamir , Brooks , Corum , Davis , Estime

Wr: Lamb, Evans , Kupp, Kirk , Shakir , Thielen , Mims , Demarcus Robinson , Boyd

Te: Engram, Hunter Henry


Naked Love is unfortunate as it just kills upside

Otherwise it looks good. Maybe need 3 te when you have engram but it’s not a big deal either way


Got my first Saquon Lu. Wasn’t sure if 3 qb was necessary or not with Dak

Qb - Dak, Bryce, Nix

Rb - Saquon, White, Swift, Lloyd, Chandler

Wr - CD, Smith, Hollywood, Diontae, Cooks, Jeudy, R Wilson, Mims

Te - McBride, Sanders
