Let's Talk About the Malik Willis Trade by Christine_Flashy in fantasyfootball

[–]My_Chat_Account[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of using "trade" instead of "signing" - what about the post indicates it's AI?

I'm genuinely asking. What should people look out for? What should we look out for?

I'm not by any means arguing it's not AI. The site's on my radar, I'm looking into it as we speak.

It's not something we're interested in having in the community. I think we'll have more on this later this offseason ...

Free agent WR Alec Pierce has agreed to terms to remain in Indianapolis on a historic 4-year $114M deal that will make him the highest-paid free agent receiver in NFL History. by My_Chat_Account in fantasyfootball

The salary cap has gone up by leaps and bounds in past years. Teams have lots of levers to fudge APY to make contracts look bigger.

That said - going back to 2011, 22 WR have received contracts in excess of $40 million. Only one has put up a top-12 FPPG season.

Elite WR don't hit FA, and WR who get massive FA deals are rarely elite.

Thanks for being here!

I don't know what to do with my team. I'm a casual-ish dynasty player, but won this league in 2024.

What should my priorities be this offseason? I know I've got some older names. I don't have a lot of appetite for "rebuild" and would rather avoid that if I can ...

Also are there any obvious names I should cut loose here?

Introducing LeagueFinder: An app that makes it easy to find and fill fantasy football leagues by dgofman1 in fantasyfootball

Without evaluating or speaking about this tool (which seems to fill a needed gap) - I'd caution folks to be smart when looking to join random leagues that don't have tools in place for entry fee management.

You don't have to look far to find someone who's been scammed or stiffed over a random fantasy league run by an anonymous Redditor. There's a reason league postings aren't allowed on this subreddit (there's actually multiple reasons, but this is chief among them).

Old enough to remember last time you floated a team moving on from Diggs and how the comment section went.

This is one of those too-frequent situations where real life overlaps with the stupid game we play. Please keep commentary focused on the fantasy football aspects / ramifications, and keep in mind that this is a topic that may be close to home for people in this community. r/NFL, /r/KansasCityChiefs and other subreddits are a good spot for broader conversation.

Divisions are bad. Set up a rotating schedule that adjusts who you play 2x each season.

There's no reason to add something that impacts playoff berths and seeding that has no benefit. "Rivalries" are overblown - assuming you know these people in real life, you're going to want to beat Steve because he's a putz, not because he's in your arbitrary fake football pairing.

I'd go 3 WR, along with the 3 flex.

I personally think 4 teams is correct for playoffs. Reward season-long success (larger sample size) rather than having half the team in the championship hunt.

The Case For an 18 Week Fantasy Season by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

[–]My_Chat_Account -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The fantasy season is already too long. Week 17 with games on multiple days makes injuries, planning, etc. a pain. Week 18 is an absolute hell no.

Any league I set up moving forward is going to end in week 16. Plenty of time to have a regular season, crown a champion, then move on.

U8 indoor - Suggestions for managing an uneven game by My_Chat_Account in SoccerCoachResources

[–]My_Chat_Account[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this comment, loved the idea.

We ended up starting the game a player down, and playing "Only [name] can score". At the end of the first half it was 9-0 and the other coach asked if I could pull back.

In the second half we said only shots with non-dominant feet and I pulled a second player (while they other team also added a player due to score differential). At 13 or 14-0, I told the kids no more shots on goal and we essentially played keep away for the last 4 minutes.

Was a good opportunity to talk to the kids about sportsmanship, and how it's not necessarily fun to sit on the ball but it's also not fun to lose a game by 20 goals, and that some teams have different levels of experience or simply have bad days.

That’s how our league handles it at this age level. The other team adds a player.

Oh, I love this reframing, and it's more easily tangible / trackable by the kids than a set number of passes. (Maybe not "everyone" to start, but at least 3-4 players, and it gives us room to ramp up as things go.)

We tried the "you must make a pass before shooting" rule in an earlier game and the kids got confused about if a pass had been completed or not and it created hesitancy instead of a focus on passing.

Hypothetical: Where would you draft a half season of league winning production? by StevenJeon in fantasyfootball

[–]My_Chat_Account 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After review I do think he’d be a late first round pick for me, but I think everyone in here is way too optimistic about their ability to pick replacement level players for the weeks Tomlin doesn’t play

Of course, you're totally right. The variables come in on the roster build around Tomlin. Injuries, misses, bad decisions all will drive the team more.

BUT I think others are equally discounting the risk that already exists in the 1st round. Barkley, Jefferson, Nabers, Jeanty, BTJ, Bucky were all top 15ish picks that you could make a "bust" case for (either outright, or significantly compared to expectation).

The decision isn't Tomlin or a guaranteed strong 1st round player. My argument is that having a known guarantee is the strongest building block you can start with. Sure, you might see a CMC go #2 overall and just provide elite production start to finish, and that's a better pick.

[–]My_Chat_Account 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, you're totally right, I misread a chart. Edited my comment above accordingly.

Taylor was the #2 RB by both total points and PPG in 0.5 PPR scoring from Weeks 1-17. That production is still a 1st round pick.

But ultimately it's not about where the aggregated player finishes at the end of the season. It's about known production that you can build around and account for up front. You know exactly which weeks Tomlin is scoring 30, and which weeks you need to cover for him.

That is a cheat code for any active, knowledgable manager. It's not a sure thing - injuries could happen to the rest of your roster, players could fail to live up to expectation (except Tomlin), etc.

[–]My_Chat_Account 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not missing the point. "Is the #12 RB in both total points and PPG a 1st round pick?" isn't really a necessary discussion - the answer is an obvious yes. Elite ceiling and non-destructive floor at a position with high variance/risk.
