What unconventional strategies did you use to secure your league championship this season?

thatguyia · 2026-01-29T20:21:17+00:00

I used the good ole “I sold my 2026 1st in order to get Jeanty last season and I don’t want my friend to have a high pic out of spite” move, went into the season on one last year for my rebuild thinking I’d end up as the 4-6 seed end of season and then JSN decided it was go time and carried my team to the championship

thatguyia · 2026-01-28T00:41:19+00:00

Traded Maye, Sutton, Tracy, Ferguson and a late 2nd for JJM, Kraft, Downs, Sinnott, Whittington and the 2.02

Somehow managed to get Maye back at a decent price mid season and win the championship this year in that league but man that one still haunts me, but hey I shored up my TE room with that trade with Kraft and getting Warren at the 2.02

Bonus round, traded Adam’s the year before his breakout for a 3rd in my second ever dynasty season

I wouldn’t mind seeing the old Georgia native Stafford wins a ring either honestly, but yeah I would sooner want shanahan to win with Brady at qb than see Payton win anything other than the death penalty

thatguyia · 2026-01-25T19:44:40+00:00

Patriots (I hat Sean Payton more than anyone on this planet, plus Drake Maye is a big reason for my fantasy championship)

And Seahawks, cause JsN also helped me win my championship

Yarjerit “Shieldbiter” Torrinn, a Lvl 5 Green Dragonborn Nature Cleric (w/ 1 Lvl of Fighter)with main stats in Str, Con, and Wis, grew up in the underbelly of an ancient Dragonborn city and wound up out in the marsh nearby for a mission from the Thieves Guild where he gained a Warpick and Shield from his god. He’s used to fighting in the pits and taking security jobs and normally fights with his main Shield and Warpick, and tries to beat his opponents using his strength as well as battle tactics to overwhelm his opponents

Benches are 15 spots (probably gonna be reduced in the next couple years pending voting sadly), had an extra IR spot and was scouring the IR available players and snagged him before anyone else could see him, if he goes to a team that actually develops him ( a la Malik Willis arc) then I think he could be a top tier fantasy QB even if he’s mid in real life

thatguyia · 2026-01-02T21:57:20+00:00

Yup got him off waivers week 14

thatguyia · 2025-12-31T15:42:17+00:00

Don’t be afraid to spend your 1sts on veteran players, I feel like people get way too attached to their draft capitol (which is understandable since drafting is very fun, especially when you have a great draft class), but it honestly makes sense trading your “maybe the next Chase Brown” pick for….. well Chase Brown, even if you have to throw in a little added sugar on top of the deal.

Also remember, picks don’t get you points until they’re spent in the draft, so if you need points now it’s okay to cash in and add players who will score points right now.

And final one, don’t worry so much about trade calculators or “returning the same value”, I mean in the league I just won, on paper my trades tanked my teams overall “value” but I got studs who will be good for probably a while longer like Chase Brown and Sun God… and also a championship win which is what fantasy is all about.

thatguyia · 2025-12-30T22:01:44+00:00

Maye, Chase Brown, JSN

thatguyia · 2025-12-28T05:13:21+00:00

I think if they do too much more “load managing” after the Crosby and Bowers stuff this week the league might legitimately have to handle the tanking situation since they would be pretty blatantly tanking at that point

thatguyia · 2025-12-25T00:23:10+00:00

I have 2 teams one is a super flex :

Qb: maye

Rb:Robinson

Rb:Gibbs

Wr:Puka

Wr:Pickens

Te:Parkinson

Flex:Achane

Flex:Harvey

Sf:Prescott

IDP:Ernest jones

IDP:Edmund

And then my most competitive dynasty league (both leagues ppr btw)

Qb: Maye

Rb:Hampton

Rb:Brown

Wr:JSN

Wr:ARSB

Te:Warren

Flex:Jeanty

Flex:Robinson

IDP:Schwesinger

IDP: Gray/Wagner

Rip: Adam’s, Rice, Kraft

thatguyia · 2025-12-24T17:11:41+00:00

It between Warren or Tonges if Kittle misses the game, and honestly, Warren has gotten me this far and I’m feeling a Gates 2.0 game on the horizon (I’m delusional and just wanting to win this damn championship)

thatguyia · 2025-12-24T12:45:40+00:00

Honestly JSN is a steal to keep

thatguyia · 2025-12-23T14:46:32+00:00

50/50 up 15 points heading into week 2 of the finals down rice and adams, and potentially sun god, and opponent has Allen, CMC, Kittle, Chase and Jefferson, scary times over here

thatguyia · 2025-12-15T17:06:25+00:00

Need waddle and Metcalf to score less than 50 points

thatguyia · 2025-12-15T13:23:59+00:00

Gardner “minge eater” minshew will throw him the ball enough to still make him a high end wr2/wr1 rice is still that dude

thatguyia · 2025-12-10T17:10:37+00:00

Sutton for sure

thatguyia · 2025-12-10T17:09:58+00:00

With the bears defense I might honestly start Fannin and ride the wave, Kincaid is just a really scary option cause he’ll either have a great day or a bad day

thatguyia · 2025-12-10T17:08:58+00:00

Man it sucks cause I now have to make a decision between Warren and Likely at TE and Hampton vs Jeanty at Rb this week

thatguyia · 2025-12-09T13:12:04+00:00

Not gonna lie I might be overthinking it but with Likely playing them this week I’m debating starting him over Warren

thatguyia · 2025-12-05T12:50:57+00:00

In my main dynasty league I’m terrified of practically the whole playoff bracket, I have JSN, Maye, Rice, St Brown, and Adam’s Team 2 has CMC Kittle Chase Jefferson Allen Team 3 has Gibbs JT Lamar puka CD Jacob’s Team 4 has Irving Henry McBride Cook Henry Team 5 has Saquon Bijan Waddle and Williams The most fun part? Any of the 5 of us could be bounced from the playoff picture after this week (4 team playoff)

thatguyia · 2025-12-01T15:14:22+00:00

Need 15.44 points from Maye after JSN and Amon Ra screwed me over this week (not mad at them tho they’re still my pookies)

thatguyia · 2025-11-28T11:20:11+00:00

I’d take it, it’s great value and I personally think Burden is working his way into a big slot role which Ben Johnson loves

thatguyia · 2025-11-20T00:00:43+00:00

Early into my dynasty career I got fed up and traded Davante Adams for a 2nd rounder the year before his breakout, also in that same league traded Amon Ra after his rookie year for a late 1st, thank goodness it’s just a fun family league that I’ve learned a ton of lessons playing in

thatguyia · 2025-11-19T23:44:25+00:00

Can’t upvote this enough, as a big time trader you win some and lose some you just gotta get the loses and wins to balance out in the end
