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.

They don't like being strong armed. The Yorks, Lynch and Shanny have enough clout that they'll decide how things go.


I think he ends up getting extended .


I think that's most likely too.

But if not, I still think he plays on the 5YO because he has no other choice with the way the CBA rules work for service time. Although, he could extend his hold out through training camp and into the season, but that'll cost him financially.

I forget exactly how the service time rules work, but I know there is no world where he can hold out for the whole season and not end up in the exact same situation next year. He'll have to play at some point.

Think he can sit 8-10 games and than has to report . But you can prolly fake an injury at that point too.


For sure. Aiyuk doesn't make me feel great in the 2nd, especially compared to all of the other guys we can draft. I'll keep taking him some, but he has a lot more risk, especially for end of season projections.

The one silver lining is he plays for a good team who will make the playoffs. If he was with the Panthers or Raiders or something, then I'd say there was a really good chance he'd be missing time at the end of the season for "injuries."


Pearsall just got put on the non football injury list . Idk what that means for him .

Niners nation said it's probably a minor injury that occurred away from the facility. that's what they heard.

Yea I saw that after . Just wanted to keep you guys informed if you were drafting .


I hope he falls. He’s still a tough click, but I want more shares to hedge Aiyuk.

He’s a good lotto ticket guy but he’s like benson to me . I’d take a shot if the price wasn’t so steep .

I'll be buying any dip for sure. Assuming he gets back pretty quick he will be getting more reps hopefully with the first team with Aiyuk out. His stock is kind of up while simultaneously down do to the injury.


Naked Lamar


QB - Lamar, Levis, Dimes (wanted Geno to be my QB2)

RB - Gibbs, Conner, Javonte, Vidal, Tracy, Bigsby

WR - Puka, DK, Ridley, Godwin, JSN, Gabe, Hyatt, Brown

TE - Goedert, Kmet, Woods


That'll be a good one if the TEs pull through.

I built a weird fast puppy, but I kind of dig it. Just need Maye starting early and we are cooking.

Mahomes, Maye

CMC, Achane, Mostert, C Brown, Vidal

Nabers, Hollywood, Diontae, JSN, C Samuel, DeMario, Slayton, Osborn

Muth, Otton, Jonnu

Your tes are fine. I’d just be worried that Maye might not start on Mahomes bye week other than that this team is great .


Haha, sorry that wasn't clear. The first sentence about the TEs was for newguy's team.

And for sure, Mahomes's bye is definitely the big concern.

Lol I can’t read. If maye is starting week 6 you’ll be good .

It's good.

The Patriots might be 0-5 by the time week 6 hits so good chance Maye will be in there sooner than later. They have a brutal opening schedule. I've been in a similar situation and ended up grabbing an unstacked QB late just in case. I don't know if that's the right thing to do or not. Was Jonnu too good of value to pass up?


I get Etienne, Kirk, Engram and a guy snipes Lawrence unstacked way ahead of ADP. That's ok because I'll grab Tua...snipe! unstacked way ahead of ADP. Ok I'll grab Dimes..snipe a full round ahead of ADP. This team could have been something special!

I think the casuals are starting to fire up the drafts on UD. This felt like a Draft Kings draft.

I took Estime with my last pick. I've heard reports that this could be a 45/40/15 split between Javonte, Estime, and Jaleel. I've heard reports Javonte could get released or traded. I doubt it. I'm not sure if adding Estime was the right move but it kinda makes sense. It sounds like Perine will get cut.

QB) Love, Bryce

RB) Barkley, Etienne, J Williams, Vidal, R Davis, Estime

WR) Tyreek, Nabers, Kirk, AD Mitchell, Legette, Wondale, Boyd

TE) Engram, Bowers

Na, I just generally like to always have 3 TEs when my first TE is after Njoku, so that was the plan. I kept flip flopping on who I wanted as my QB2 between Maye, Bryce, and Dimes, and by the time I decided on Maye, I was kind of committed haha. Figured I'd gamble it up with it being the puppy.

Having both Javonte and Estime could work out. They should have all of the goal line work between the 2 of them. I agree Javonte isn't going anywhere and Perine is most likely to be cut, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Broncos end up keeping him either .

I do believe the casuals have arrived. It's crazy how different each room is right now lol. I just had an opposite experience. First time I was able to get Zay in the 4th and Lamar in the 5th. Almost every pick was 5+ spots after ADP. Tua was 23 spots.

Lamar, Tua

Moss, Benson, Zeke, Charb, Wright, Herbert

Chase, Waddle, DeVonta, Zay, Worthy, Hopkins, Washington

Bowers, Likely, Jonnu

I love this team!

It's not fair you got Tua so cheap.

Dolphins megastack! I've been drafting Washington over OBJ. I hope that's correct.

I don't have much Rachaad, but I love when he falls to the 6/7 turn.

That's a nice team. Might have tried to find a third TE, but that's just a small nitpick.

I normally would have gone 3 TEs. But I already had the makings for a backdoor Fields stack to work.

I have been shying away from Hill/Waddle stacks. Part of the benefit of Waddle is the contingent upside if Hill misses time, whereas in this build you need hill too

It can obviously work and I may be too cautious on that, but at Waddles price, I don’t want to remove any of his outs, if that makes sense
