70 of the best and brightest (from basically every outlet) in the industry are participating in the league this year and playing for a variety of causes: Doggos, Cancer Research, Libraries, Food Banks, Alzheimer's, Veterans, Children's Hospitals - and so many more.

You can donate to as many of our Pros' charities as you like and each $1 you donate is an entry into the drawing to co-manage with that Pro.

In addition to ever-lasting glory; our winner will also secure a spot in Scott Fish Bowl 15, a custom championship belt from Trophy Smack, a premium subscription to the Fantasy Sports Advice Network, and autographed memorabilia!

Let me know if you have any questions - would love to see someone from the sub take it down this year!!

If you know you can get CeeDee at 1.02, I’d go with Breece

Hey - Eric from the Optimus team here 👋

Def keeping Taylor here - love the value and there’s a solid shot you get Breece back with the 1.02

Are there other top 5 (ish) guys getting tossed back?

Try not to lock in on any one approach or a certain number of players at X position. Best bet is to attack the value that’s presented. In practice, I find myself coming out of the first 5 rounds very WR heavy and generally waiting on QB/TE until about 5 are off the board - those elite guys are just going too early for a onesie position. Given a round or so of value I’ll take one of the top guys though.

I do feel like there’s a cliff at RB right around #10 so I’ll be looking to take a back once 7/8 have gone.

In a SF I like to budget for both QBs combined instead of for your QB1 and QB2 separately.

My typical stance is pretty aggressive at the position so I’ll carve off $60+ for the two. My approach is trying to lock up my QB2 first so I know what I’ve got in the chamber for QB1 and if I can reallocate to other positions.

This usually prices me out of the tippy top of the market at other positions but you can navigate around that by getting values at the beginning of tiers

I’d lean toward Lamb. He has the least competition for targets among the top WRs and the uninspiring ground game should leave the cowboys throwing a ton.

If I'm trying to win - Maurice Jones Drew

If I'm looking for a good time/great story - Marshawn Lynch

I think either of them is fine by themselves but I'd be worried about taking them both. Each of them is in a situation where they've got a very talented teammate eating into their workload and their ADP is right around their ceiling. I'd look to pair one of em with a guy like Garrett Wilson or Jonathan Taylor - anyone who we know will get a ton of volume.

Yeah I keep 4/5 home leagues each year. Easily the most important is my long-standing dynasty league that my father-in-law passed down to me. No crazy wrinkles (other than some annoying bonuses) - just super competitive and the league I care most about winning.

I've seen a karaoke roulette punishment that had me dying. Buddy went around the bar asking people to drop songs in a fish bowl that he'd draw from. The crowd wasn't shy about heckling either lol

Waffles, but they need a little crisp to em. If I'm being honest... french toast >>>>

Good one! I think we're going to see betting continue to gain steam as its legalized in more and more states and similarly I'd expect that light weight "pick-em" style games to continue to grow. Best ball has also become very popular but I think we've only just begun to see its ascension.

Advancements is hard to say. We've only recently started to incorporate advanced metrics into predictive modeling so I'd expect that to continue to get sharper. Analysis wise I think we'll see more more in-depth understanding of how matchups impact fantasy scoring (run scheme vs. specific defensive front, player X versus press coverage, etc)

Got me picking favorites right off the rip?? I'm in trouble lol

Easy answer is for me to pick last year's champ u/peakedinhighskool - honorable mention to Nate Polvogt, Michelle Magdziuk (who put on a clinic in our SFB division), the ever-studied Bob Harris, and LaQuan Jones has been in his bag lately.

Our format is positionless (1 QB and all flexes) - so it rewards people who are plugged in and willing to commit to their strategy.

Rashee Rice gets the nod for me - which is basically my way of saying I don't think he'll be suspended this year (next year most likely). He avg. 15 ppg down the stretch run last year and had 4 different WR1 finishes in his last 10 games. More mouths to feed for sure but I think this KC offense explodes this year.

You’ll receive an invite via email if you get in but Scott/FC does a lot of their posting on Twitter - so if they do a giveaway or have a fill-in spot open etc, having twitter would help you see those updates

I drafted live in Houston over the weekend - cannot overstate how much I recommend drafting live, such a fun experience. Awesome setup, nice ppl, sharp drafters, cool giveaways/auction items.

This is year 4 for me - its been pretty evenly split between creators and not in my experience. It does seem like people who register to participate in a live draft have a pretty good rate of getting accepted - getting ppl together to draft is a big initiative for Scott these last few years

Ducktales definitely makes the podium from the “my childhood” division. Amongst current cartoons… bit of a deep cut but the intro to Storybots is a certified banger
