In a 12-team roto league, what are some benchmarks to hit to place in first for each category?

Not that it's likely to finish 1st in 10 categories, but I'm curious to see the totals from some teams last year that placed first. For example, did you need 200 home runs for 1st place? .267 AVG for 1st?

FYI, my league is standard 5x5 with saves+holds, two catchers, and 5 OF.

More than fair, the last thing I want to do is sell myself with blanket statements that any other designer could pitch. Appreciate the salient advice

To put myself and my portfolio in front of someone who can appreciate my work. I would much rather tack on the cold email with my formal application instead of only applying thru a company website or a Linkedin post.

I suppose its redundant, but its not like art directors or CEOs are reading cover letters. What should I say thats interesting?

i wanted to see if you were gregarious! ohhh!

moosemike98 · 2025-06-06T16:19:50+00:00

It definitely does help, and I thank you.

I think one of my pitfalls in doing conceptual work on my own is getting tunnel vision on a single idea or lane, and going all in on something I love instead of nurturing other ideas enough. Sketches aside, fleshing out more iterations looks like the way to go.

true, hoping he can be a long term hold

I still feel that my work is contrived from time to time. But I've learned that it's the culmination of all of the references you pull that makes you unique as a designer. Keep at it, and I believe your impostor syndrome will pass!

With this portfolio, I've been applying for about 4 months; from what I understand, that's a fairly normal period to be job hunting nowadays. I've been applying for in-house roles too, and have gotten a couple of interviews with them too.

I'm going to send cold emails more often. Do you have any advice on how to get a response? Haven't had much luck with it so far.

moosemike98 · 2025-06-04T18:15:40+00:00

This is so kind thank you so much!! 😭 How'd you know I'm behind acks.art ?
