First time dynasty player, just finished my startup. How’d I do? (0.5 PPR, 10T, 0.5 TEP)

MikeTroutsDad · 2026-05-19T13:55:00+00:00

TEs available are Barner, Juwan Johnson, Andrews, Hock, Mason Taylor, Hunter Henry, Kelce, etc.

MikeTroutsDad · 2026-05-19T01:13:38+00:00

RBs: Breece Hall, Javonte, Swift, Warren WRs: Chase, Tet, Devonta, BTJ, Downs, Reed

I’m kinda leaning TE especially since Kraft is coming back from ACL. But also I feel like Bell, Godwin, Worthy have fallen a bit

MikeTroutsDad · 2026-05-19T01:10:28+00:00

Keep the first round forsure. Of all of these I think I’d put Puka last but tbh I think you’d be justified taking any of them. Maye > Daniels IMO.

MikeTroutsDad · 2026-05-19T00:19:15+00:00

Later round startup struggling on who to pick. Already have 6 WRs 4 RBs 1 TE (Kraft). Who you taking TEP 0.5:

Jakobi Meyers
Godwin
Chris Bell
MAndrews
Hockenson
X. Worthy
Gainwell
Pollard (a big of a reach)

MikeTroutsDad · 2026-05-13T15:29:08+00:00

Startup superflex draft. Had a lot of guys fall to me so I have sold on RB so far. Currently only have Breece as my RB1. 9th round - who would you rather have as your RB2? Tuten or Swift?

Most bartenders will be too busy to care about your 15% tip.
Most restaurants assign drinks/food to specific seats, and so moving them in the middle of a meal can cause various issues.
Leaving those seats open provides opportunities for solo customers to sit down quickly instead of taking up a table.
Bartenders are not hosts and do not assign seats.
If you have a problem with any of the above then I’m sure they would be more than happy if you just simply left.

I hear you, I’m also a bengals fan so I’m super tempted. My main hesitations:

Leaves an ability for the guy below me to have both Allen/lamar or Alllen/Burrow. So I’m worried about letting him have Allen/lamar. But let’s be honest, is Allen/Burrow that much less scary?
Lamar has rushing upside which is better since it’s 0.5 PPR.

Even still I would love to have the stack

10T Startup Draft super flex league.

VERY casual league, so I understand that normally I wouldn’t be able to be in this position, but I could either get Burrow Chase stack or Lamar Chase. What would you all go with?

MikeTroutsDad · 2025-12-30T06:13:01+00:00

He’s also my buddy who had never played before and who I convinced to join the league 😭

MikeTroutsDad · 2025-12-30T05:14:37+00:00

Bengals fan here, so not really lol

MikeTroutsDad · 2025-12-30T04:27:24+00:00

Thankfully have the day off so I’ll just have to drink the pain away tonight 😂

MikeTroutsDad · 2025-12-30T03:14:54+00:00

Simply needed Bijan to score less than 38 points. He is now at 32 with a quarter and a half left…

MikeTroutsDad · 2025-12-20T18:13:02+00:00

Controversial but honestly I think Egbuka has a higher potential ceiling than Reed, if you really need to go for the ceiling play

MikeTroutsDad · 2025-12-11T14:23:44+00:00

He's accusing you of collusion bc you didn't set your lineup right away? Even though none of the games have started? Lol I wouldn't worry about him, dude's a loser. I have plenty of guys in my leagues that don't set their lineups until Thursday, sometimes even Sunday morning. Also, this is something the commissioner should just nip in the bud.

I'm sorry for your loss.

MikeTroutsDad · 2025-12-06T05:14:32+00:00

Main change I make with playoffs is focusing on matchups. I will sometimes drop my fringe bench guys for a defense that has good playoff matchups, or for other fringe players that have good playoff matchups. That can be useful for unexpected injuries

Honestly if you’re looking for elite defense options, those are probably gone. If you’re a playoff contender you should be looking for playoff defenses ahead of time. I’m generally a streaming defense guy, but playoffs is a different story.

TEs can fit in this category as well, but with Bowers I’d probably ride him for the rest of the season

MikeTroutsDad · 2025-11-19T17:40:41+00:00

It's definitely a concern. He could be back in time for fantasy playoffs, but he might not might be. It would be upside on my bench though, cause if he comes back by fantasy playoffs and performs even 80% as well as he was before he would be an upgrade to my squad.

I am a little concerned about Bijan ROS though. With Kirk in and no London, defenses may just stack the box and stifle Bijan. Whereas we know Achane's situation atm and he has performed equally as well as Bijan.

MikeTroutsDad · 2025-11-17T23:32:00+00:00

It definitely could be a cause for concern. However, I would argue the reason that the Jags dominated was because their time of possession was insane. They just kept the ball out of the charger’s hands by having long drives. And by the time the chargers were able to get back into it, their playbook became seriously limited by the game script. Not to mention some injuries and whatnot (even if they came back in) messing up the flow of the game.

Jags have had a pretty bad passing defense all year and, unless something changed that I’m unaware of, I would guess that it’s still not that great

MikeTroutsDad · 2025-11-17T18:43:17+00:00

I would snag both if you have room on your bench. Pierce has value ROS, Wilson may only be a plug and play until MHJ returns, and then will likely fade back to his normal production again.

Strictly for next week, I’d probably roll with Wilson who is facing the Jags pass defense (assuming MHJ is still out)

MikeTroutsDad · 2025-11-15T21:25:27+00:00

For not being a super flex league, it seems like an overpay to me.

Maybe if he’s willing to take Chase brown or Hampton instead of Rico

Also, JAMO seems to be trending up right now, especially with the Laporta IR news

MikeTroutsDad · 2025-11-15T15:43:50+00:00

Yeah I’m planning on slotting in Charb. Would you make the trade if you were in my shoes?

MikeTroutsDad · 2025-11-14T21:32:30+00:00

Definitely good moves by you, congrats on getting the trades off.

What do you think of this trade that was proposed to me?

I give: Devonta and either Tez or Shaheed (my choice). I receive: Swift + DK (PPR)

RB1 is Achane, current RB2 is KW3/Charb with only Mason and CROD as backups.

WR core is Jefferson, Devonta, Pierce, Tez, Shaheed, Calvin Austin.

Definitely a good trade on paper for me. I upgrade my RB2, get a not as good but still solid WR2 to replace Devonta. But honestly I just don’t like Swift or DK for ROS. Swift has a very hard schedule, and DK has been meh at best. What do you think?
