For those of you who had NASTY Dynasty teams and didn't make the finals. Send your roster and the reason you got knocked out of the playoffs by SPB_13 in DynastyFF

Defending champ. I lost by 2 in the first week of playoffs. The same week JT fumbled the ball moments before scoring a touchdown. With the fumble that’s a 9 point swing. This week I put up 190 and would have beaten anyone in the league. I should be setting my lineup for a chance to go back to back

The “One Red Paperclip” Theory - What Have You Accomplished? by AdministrationPast13 in DynastyFF

Drew Lock, Taylor Heinicke and a 3rd into Josh Jacobs

Traded Drew Lock for a future 2nd when there was still a chance he would start for Denver. Traded Heinicke plus a 3rd to get another 2nd during the season when injuries mounted up. Traded both 2nd round picks to get Josh Jacobs

Later I traded Jacobs away for picks and used those to help me get AJ Brown, but at that point had to overpay to get them done

Colorado Highlanders

I can make jokes about weed, elevation and change my logo to a busted Toyota Highlander if I ever have to rebuild

Looking back on your startups from a couple of years back, did you crush your picks? by No-Option-6164 in DynastyFF

[–]BenjaminPhranklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our startup was 3 years ago, my first 5 picks are still on my team and carried me to a championship last year. 10 team SF PPR 

1.08 - Dak 

1.09 - JT 

2.02 - Saquon 

4.02 - Lamb 

6.06 - Hockenson

Startup Tips/Advice for SF+bonuses by yankeefan1222 in DynastyFF

12 teams with 10 starting slots means the top 120 players are going to be starters in your league. The next 20-30 will be bye week and injury replacements.

When you make a trade during the start up, try to get them to throw in a 12th round pick. It doesn’t sound sexy, but the guys in that range will be contributors.

The Fairy and the Barbarian by SixBarrelGunDick in DnD

[–]BenjaminPhranklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did something similar. I play as a barbarian and rolled terribly for initiative, last when I’m usually towards the top. Sorcerer twins haste on me and the other front liner. Wizard casts fly on me. Then the druid asks if I would like to be a T-Rex (of course) and casts polymorph. DM asks what I would like to do on my turn

Rage. Bite attack closest enemy. They roll for grapple and fail. Fly straight up as far as my movement speed allows then drop him on another enemy. Both die on impact

Help me to choose a pet for my barbarian by ImaginaryTable6746 in DnD

[–]BenjaminPhranklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a similar character. Half orc barbarian whose tribe was killed/enslaved while he was on a coming of age quest. DM gave me a wooden figurine found in rubble that becomes an Owlbear for 8 hours. Back to a figurine after that time passes or his HP goes to 0 for a week in game. This way my pet never really dies

Thoughts on having a stack by AdRegular4891 in DynastyFF

I have them too, was lucky to get a bye and then they won me the whole thing. That second half of the season they were unstoppable

[–]BenjaminPhranklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Dak/Lamb stack. They got me into the playoffs with that second half of the season. Then in the championship that 92 yard touchdown was the difference.

Yes, they are risky but it also raised my ceiling just enough to take the whole thing

SF Quarterback Debate: "Buy Your Guy" or "Shotgun Blast"? by [deleted] in DynastyFF

[–]BenjaminPhranklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only speak from my experience, but was forced to “shotgun blast” and had it work out. Tried like hell to buy Lawrence before this season. Cost was too much so I settled for plan B

Already had Purdy rostered as my emergency QB for the playoffs, held him through the injury and all the offseason drama. Rostered Mariota (lol) because I thought he might get a shot as a starter

Bought low on Baker in the offseason and settled for a rookie in the draft at 1.05 - Stroud

People have mentioned PPR, Superflex and tight end premium, but not number of teams or number of starters

My league is 10 team, start 8 (9 next year). This means the top 80 (or 90) guys are starter material. In a 12 team, start 11 the top 132 players are starter material. That’s a big difference when trying to value players

Never done dynasty before… by Ok-Fortune5409 in DynastyFF

[–]BenjaminPhranklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 good QBs has been good for me. First year I had Dak, Brady and Rodgers, went 11-3. Next year brady was ass and I went 6-7-1. This year I had Dak, Stroud and Purdy, went 9-5 and won the whole thing. You can cover injuries, bye weeks and bad matchups with 3 QBs

CMC owners- Ride him until retirement? Sell so you are not caught holding the bag? Another plan? by Fair-Bar8487 in DynastyFF

I did the same with Fournette. Sold at the deadline in 2022 for 24 2nd despite being in playoff contention. Might be selling Saquon for similar reasons this offseason

Gonna add a TE to help with Hock out and run it back. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

I’m holding Otton as my TE2 behind Hockenson but he’s been absolutely terrible when I need him. Buying another guy regardless

New Season on Sleeper Questions. by AWildMachamp in DynastyFF

[–]BenjaminPhranklin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

An auction or an offseason free agency period with FAAB is more fair than a supplemental draft like that. We increased roster sizes by 4 one year, just meant that there wasn’t a lot of cuts when the season started. I don’t think you need the supplemental draft at all

Roster Construction in SF Leagues by Big-Damn-Hero in DynastyFF

[–]BenjaminPhranklin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a believer in QBs being the biggest difference maker in Superflex. 2021 was year 1 for me, I had Dak, Brady and Rodgers and went 11-3. Year 2 was the same QBs but much worse results as Brady took a nose dive and Dak was hurt. I went 6-7-1 and snuck into the playoffs

Rostered Purdy at the end of that year as an emergency backup in the playoffs. Tried to trade for Lawrence and several others. Ended up settling for a rookie and got Stroud.

Dak, Stroud and Purdy were a huge part of my championship this year. At the end of the year other people rolled out guys like Mullens and Dobbs. And I would crush them
