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 one way to do it i suppose
This was fun, got Lamar at 53, Tlaw at 140, Pitts 68, and Schultz 149
Qb - Lamar, Tlaw
Rb - Brooks, Pollard, Singletary, Brown, R Davis, Estime
Wr - JJ, Deebo, Nabers, Cooper, Btjr, Bateman, Tez Walker, Rondale

Every pick is correlated with Week 17 except for 2.
Every pick correlated with Week 17 is also correlated with Week 16 except for 2.
Didn't have to force anything except I did draft Watson a round early.
QB - Purdy, Watson, Penix
RB - Monty, Ekeler, Zeke, Chase, Allgeier, Foreman
WR - Reek, Deebo, Smith, Cooper, Terry, Mooney, Jennings, Slayton
TE - Ferguson, Jonnu, Knox
He is.
Tell me you watched Receiver without telling me you watched Receiver.
I finally got some good QB's.
fast puppy pick 2.
QB) Lamar, Dak
RB) Montgomery, Pollard, Elliot, Chandler, Vidal, Herbert
WR) Lamb, Samuel, Metcalf, BTJ, Cooks, Mooney, Robinson, Raymond
TE) Andrews, Chig
I think this guy took Hero WR to the extreme
You can never be too covered at TE.
Got the Mahomes double. Triple if you count Wiley, but that's more of a last round flyer.
QB - Mahomes, Baker, Fields
RB - Warren, Ekeler, Singletary, Kendre, Chuba, Mattison
WR - Puka, Evans, Smith, Hollywood, Rice, Franklin, McMilan, Rondale
TE - Engram, Muth, Wiley
More Javonte speculation.
And Chargers WR speculation. Guess I should add some 18th round Chark. My problem is he looked like dog **** playing for the Panthers last season. A lot of drops and bad routes.
Anyone have a strong opinion on whether it should be:
Breece > Bijan
or
Bijan > Breece?
And does your thinking change if it’s best ball or redraft?
Right now I lean Breece but could be easily swayed.
I like Bijan better by a bit, but both are awesome
Way more expected play volume in that offense
Just drafted the oldest wr group Would’ve won in 2021 haha
Qb - Kyler, Levis, JJ
Rb - Zamir, Pollard, Singletary, Gus, Dowdle, Estime
Wr - JJ, Adams, Kupp, Cooper, Nuk, M Wilson, Boyd
Te - Pitts, Musgrave
Bijan is my favorite RB by far.
I do like Breece as well and will take him if he falls past his ADP on DK. But if I get the 7th or 8th pick, and Bijan is off the board then I'm usually just going up a spot or two for Puka or AJB.
I have Bijan > Breece in best ball, since that’s the way ADP has it. I don’t want to be underweight on either. I think they’re both solidly in the top 8 and will always take them if they’re the top ADP guy on the board.
I drew the 1.03 in my 8 man redraft, so I’ve been thinking through it quite a bit. I’ll decide between Reek, Bijan and Breece.
I think I lean Bijan over Breece because I like Bijan’s offensive environment more, I like the upside of his coaching staff more, I like his schedule more, etc.
It’s pretty damn close, though. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re the top 2 picks next season.
Think I got a nice BAL/HOU stack here
QB - Lamar, Watson, Fields
RB - Mixon, Kamara, Chubb, Vidal, Wright, Tracy
WR - AJB, Nico, Flowers, Odunze, Doubs, Bateman, Mims, Dortch, Elijah
TE - Njoku, Muth
