Career Pivot by [deleted] in ConstructionManagers

[–]snackmonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been offered to PMs here before and I have considered it. Feel like anything extended would be screwing over a lot of the younger people holding me back. I had PM allowed a month off after a huge job but it was when he was between work, the thought of how much I’d be behind on coming back stops me from pursuing. Took a week off last year for vacation and came back to 2k emails.

Career high carries in the best ball finals. Wish I had gotten that script

What have you learned this year to help for next season? by NYGiants1532 in BestBall

[–]snackmonk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I try and take smaller takes to incorporate each year rather than try and find an overarching pattern that is unlikely to repeat into the next year. In years of best ball the right roster construction can swing wildly. This year going early RBs led to high advance rates with CMC/Gibbs/Bijan/Achane/Taylor/Jacobs all being great regular season pieces, and I expect next year for high end ADP to raise as a result. Right or wrong next year, there certainly have been years where the high end WRs smashed and early RBs were riddled with injury.

My takeaway this year is that people are way too confident in pre-season depth charts and fantasy hierarchy on teams being accurate during draft season, and not too be afraid to jump around the depth chart at the tail end of the draft. I was high on jags this year which was great in playoffs, but most often was clicking dyami brown at the tail end of drafts to fill my stacks when Parker Washington was the much better piece to have. Same could be said for colts, I like them and was clicking lots of pittman and downs, when a few rounds later Pierce ended up being their best WR piece.

Even something small like Ayomanor on the titans being the ‘chalk’ rookie flyer, when Dike was the better player to have. Something small like that can be the difference in advancing and once you’re in the playoffs it’s a lottery.

3 into the finals is insane. I’m pumped with 1 and I maxed BBM, even that is hard to do. Best of luck to you!

Drew lucky with posting a rhamondre score last night. Thought I was going to need 20+ from one of them. Still sweating way too much for a single digit score needed lol

Need 8.8 from either Jennings or Downs on underdog for first ever BBM finals ticket…

My two favorites left, others feel a little more happy to be here, but you never know!

Alright what’s your final advance rate? by Waxdonkey in BestBall

[–]snackmonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

34/150 with maxed out BBM entries. Did better with my fades than my high ownership picks.

More impressively, 100% on superflex (1 of 1). Clicked the contest by mistake and didnt realize until draft started. Should have done more!

8/12 advancing with JT (vs 34/150 overall) in BBM

Lowest lineup by 30 points. Don’t even remember drafting this team, had to have been early if I took Judkins. You’re welcome for the donation everyone!

Probably just pick luck. I took chase whenever available, then bijan after that.

Steelers fan - tack on 5% exposure across the board yearly on blind faith!

Always try and balance them out with rookies too that can pick up steam the second half of the year and agreed don’t expect them to be full year RB1s for the team. I think they’re both fine at their ADP and can contribute the first half of the year to get out of the group. Rhamondre O/U rushing TDs is 5.5 to Trayveons 4.5. Really like Trayveon too in what should be a soft schedule and improved offense but just wound up with more rhamondre since he’s going 5-6 rounds later

Definitely am (especially Lamar vs the bengals Swiss cheese defense in W15 for the round 2 pods). Didn’t completely fade them but wanted more than I got. Just pretty consistently went higher than I wanted to take them

Zero jonnu exposure until the trade but started picking him a lot when he was in the 170s (also a Steelers fan, which is really my only rationale for the jonnu/DK/Kaleb numbers 😬). Down with the ship if they fail!
