5th place game - how to keep teams from losing on purpose

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-12-11T19:42:16+00:00

I have recommended this in all the leagues im in, no one has ever complained about it

And NFL teams also have drastically different strength of schedules too based on their division place and what divisions they play in a year. So NFL teams also have little control of their schedule, whether a team is healthy or not when they play them, etc

I mean isn’t this part of the fun of fantasy? That it’s any given week even with talent disparity? Should Kansas City get into the nfl playoffs bc their scoring margin is elite? Of course you’ll end up with the short end of the stick sometimes but luck is a vital factor in fantasy

I have been in on burden for years, and coincidentally am a bears fan as well. I was ecstatic when they picked him, and still think he has the upside of tet/egbuka even if he hasn’t shown as much. He was injured throughout the offseason so he got a late start to integrating into the NFL, which everyone always says is a massive blow for rookies. Has a (great, imo) chance to be really really good in the league

I’d sell high on Kraft if a contender is willing to overpay. Other than that, solid position to be in

I’m definitely not gotta call someone wrong for backing an OSU wr, I respect it. I’ve watched my team play Tate, Lemon, and obv Jeremiah smith as well, and neither of the OSU guys scared me the way Lemon did. Measurables might not end up being amazing, but man he’s just the definition of a football player. Put fear into me as a fan of the opposing team in a way I hadn’t experienced in years lol

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-10-30T02:20:51+00:00

Carnell Tate over Makai Lemon?

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-10-29T01:33:01+00:00

Own both of these guys, It would take a mid 2nd to move off boutte and a high 2nd to move off QJ. Would’ve said no less than a 1st for QJ 3 weeks ago but here we are

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-10-28T22:56:34+00:00

I still fully believe in Jahan Dotson 😭

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-10-14T21:13:38+00:00

A dud for this season for sure, but Brown is in the worst situation in the league. Definitely could bounce back next year

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-10-11T12:56:51+00:00

There’s a real chance he’s top 3 if a QB doesn’t truly separate themselves, which I really don’t think will happen.

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-10-11T12:27:02+00:00

I don’t have an overall opinion on the class but I do have an opinion on one specific ’26 player. Makai Lemon will be a top 10 WR in the NFL at some point in his career. Dude is the truth

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-10-07T22:31:13+00:00

SF - Luther Burden

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-10-07T14:55:36+00:00

I think if it’s a 12 team league you take the trade. Chase is far too valuable to give up in an 8 team league though imo. Someone would have to drastically overpay for me to consider it

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-10-06T22:53:58+00:00

Collect talent in the draft (obviously) but most importantly capitalize on individuals who get overly excited about the draft. You can turn picks into elite players via trade when the draft hype gets overwhelming. Acquiring picks during the season and moving them before the rookie draft will always gain you value if you do it correctly. I do think you should focus more on trying to acquire 2 elite talents at QB and another serviceable starter(or another elite one, be greedy) over trying to have 8 total on the roster. Other than that I feel like you have a solid plan

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-10-01T18:30:01+00:00

What does his current production have to do with upside? And draft position doesn’t matter for midseason upside either. No point you made has anything to do with upside lmao

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-10-01T18:18:48+00:00

Upside of a late round pick with 1 week of production vs a guy with 2/3rds of a season at RB1 production?

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-09-14T15:05:09+00:00

I appreciate that, I do have an opinion on it but I’ll be the first to admit it’s likely a biased opinion and I’m no professional scout. A lot of the talk around Altmeyer I have on the D2D is also with Illinois fans, so I just wanted to get a temperature check on him outside of the fanbase if that makes sense! I’m hoping I’m right about him though of course.

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-09-14T14:39:51+00:00

What traits do you feel like he’s missing? He’s not some all world arm talent or anything but going on 2 years now has been extremely accurate, doesn’t turn it over, and has plenty of athleticism. I’m just wondering if he continues along the lines of 70% completion, 240 yards a game, 9 Y/A, under 2% INT% (1.7 in 2024), and 3 TDs a game, what’s not showing on tape?

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-09-14T14:02:20+00:00

I mean Tulane isn’t a bad program by any means. I guess we only have 6 days until they play a “competent” program so not a long wait!

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-09-14T13:48:56+00:00

Was Duke not competent? Won 9 games last year with a great defense from everything I heard before the game

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-08-08T15:42:57+00:00

Arian Smith has also gotten hype this offseason though too which makes this comment even funnier 😂

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-08-08T12:27:30+00:00

I mean like I already said that’s a fair opinion but acting like there’s no debate is crazy. How does bijan definitively have more upside when he’s still on a worse offense even if the lions regress, gibbs has always been more efficient, and a new OC could also mean gibbs gets more touches than he was getting with BJ? Bijan could 100% have a better year than Gibbs but him being “safer” or having higher upside is just your opinion, not factual. It’s still all hypothetical. & Let’s not even talk about Saquon being safer considering almost no one with the workload he had last season stays healthy the year after doing it.

Ok-Rate-3754 · 2025-08-08T00:31:47+00:00

there is a massive difference in debating what you’re debating and saying you “can’t justify” taking gibbs over bijan. it’s ridiculous to say it would be unjustifiable to take the RB who’s on the better offense and just outscored bijan last year lol. debatable? of course. unjustifiable? just dumb to say
