Thought we could use a thread for general FF bullshitting outside of TNFLF league. Strategies, questions, DFS plays, etc..

Fast Format and Distributed File System?
Anyone of you guys purchase premium FF content or, draft stuff or subscriptions? I have a Fantasy Pros account, the free one https://www.fantasypros.com/ Pretty good content and rankings, they also have podcasts, and tools available through a paid sub.
I also subscribe to the Fantasy Footballers https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/
I pay for their draft kit + DFS pass, they have pretty good stuff and are entertaining. Lots of tools on the site and a DFS lineup generator. I'm pretty sure their Podcast is the #1 FF pod, could be mistaken, it is really good though.

I enjoy FF, but have not been that hardcore in a long time. I'll do some basic stat analysis, read a few articles, and just go from there.
I'm an addict, a degenerate if you will...
I usually do 2-4 season long leagues, but i retired one this offseason so I kindof ramped it up this year. I have my main 10 person $100 buy in. Then the one here. I just signed up for the Footballers premium "footclan" which enters me into a season long tournament. That being a shit-ton of 12 team leagues (like 10k) that eliminate down to a top prize, basically it acts like a 12 team .5 ppr.
BUT, that subscription upgrade also gives access to a discord server, which i have no clue how that works, I'm learning now. And that place is a good resource to find other leagues. I'm trying to see if I can get into a dynasty startup, or keeper league, with a buy in.. before the season starts.
I did end up joining a new league through the Discord channel. It's a keeper league on Sleeper, $50 buy in, 12 team .5 ppr .5 1st down. Should be fun, I'll let you all know how the Sleeper app is for FF as I will have 2 leagues on there this year.
I am a Football Guys Elite subscriber. I mainly subscribe for their draft dominator app....love it...just download your league settings...make a few changes...then mock the shit out of your upcoming draft. Then use the app to keep track of the draft. The app configures the rankings in real time...e.g. You draft Patrick Mahomes in round 3...and for rounds 4-15...the app doesn't rank any QB's high. I try to draft one of the top 20 ranked guys with each pick just so I ensure that I am drafting value.
Personally, I am in 4 season long leagues....3/4 are 12 teamers...one is a ten teamer. Of the 4, only one is my main keeper league...drafted last night...I was one of the worst teams last year after selling out at the trading deadline (sending players out for future picks). So, my team is INSANELY stacked going into this season...my starting lineup:
QB1: Patrick Mahomes
RB1: Derrick Henry
WR1: Cooper Kupp
WR2: Puka Nacua
TE1: Travis Kelce
K: Jake Moody
DEF: Patriots
W/R/T1: Sam LaPorta
W/R/T2: Malik Nabers/Rham Stevenson (undecided right now)
W/T: D.K. Metcalf
And I have these guys on the bench: Michael Pittman, Javonte Williams, Rome Odzune, Rashod Bateman, Devin Singletary, Austin Ekeler, and Justin Herbert.
I'll be disappointed if I don't at least make it to the final 4.....

The keeper I just joined is slow drafting, started Monday.. I kinda wish I didn't grab Burrow where I did... he was a value there if he goes for 4000+ and 32TD's. But could've added Z. Moss, Z. White, Odunze, K. Allen, J. Ford. instead. This league is 6pt QB, TDs, starting 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 2FLX, 1DST. 6 bench and 2IR. Overall I'm happy with it, it's a good base to start with. .5ppr .5 1st down
Rate my work league team…

Aaron is getting way too much hype for a guy who has missed an entire season, plus a lot of the off season and is on a dysfunctional team.
Patriots backs may not be a good bet - opposing teams will key on the run, plus there is the stable. If shuffle backs in and out as much as I think they may then no one back is "it", so FFL points can suffer.
I am not an expert, don't play one on TV, but do have a Holiday Inn Express close by.

Not too bad, but I'd be worried about Ekeler in the flex spot. Looks like you will have to bank on him as you only have McLaughlin/Spears on the bench. But the Hill/Evans/Kincaid combo is the engine of this team, IMO......
12 teamer? PPR?
I agree. If Rodgers plays 17 games...I'd expect this line:
4,200 yards, 27TDs, & 11 interceptions.
Which would make him a top 7-10 FFL QB....IOW below average FFL starter in a 12 teamer.
As for the Patriots' backs....it depends on the scoring system. For example, I play in a league where the RB gets .5 per carry....so if Rham has a 20 carry/67 yard/1 TD game....that is 22.7 points plus whatever passes he catches. For the season...assuming full health...I expect Stevenson to get about 225 carries, 1K yards, 35 rec, 400 rec yards, and 8 TDs. That should make him a top 15-25 RB.....well worth a 6th round pick in a redraft league, IMO. And don't overlook Antonio Gibson....I could see him getting 4 receptions a game just as a safety valve in the flat....that would translate to 68 receptions over 17 games....a very good BYE week fill in RB to draft in rounds 13-18ish...

OK ... but what is your OL adjustment ... -10% of projected? -20%?
We are pretty damn good on the interior though....I don't expect Rham to run a lot outside....just interior runs or counters where he cuts back thru the seams.
I fully expect the tackles to be driven back on every snap. We should do some RPO....Brissett is gonna have a target on his chest...doing RPO's pauses the 2nd level of the defense while our interior OL opens up a seam or a passing lane....
I benched him in favor of Lawrence and I stashed Nick Chubb in case he somehow regains his former abilities after that injury. I don’t like the matchup for Rodgers. Especially at 40, coming off an Achilles.
12 teamer but not PPR. I didn’t run this one this year. One of my analysts did.
Looks pretty solid, lots of breakout WR potential... bummer it's not PPR, you have a team build for it.
Draft #2 getting underway in 15 minutes. This is a high scoring full PPR, 6pt QB TD, 2RB, 3WR 1FX (WR/RB/TE), 1K, 1DST. 6 bench and 1 IR spot. 10 Teams so everyone starts off with a good looking team.
I'll take it, for PPR this is nice, loved getting Hill at the 4 spot
Coming up shortly, Megalabowl, this is the tournament you get free access to from The Fantasy Footballers subscription. 1st prize is a lifetime subscription and a spot in their listener FF league. where you get to play against the hosts of the pod and the producers. I think you also get some signed player swag. Should be fun going against like 20K people.
