MoFo Fantasy Football - 2024 Season

Plenty of games still to be decided tomorrow night. Including mine. Should be interesting how it plays out tomorrow night

Willing to unload Travis Kelce for some depth. Sent an offer to Spaulding.

He said no, and nobody else is asking about him.
That is all.

You could see decline last year, which is why I avoided drafting him at all in any league.
I’m sure he’ll start producing more in the coming weeks, but this may be his last year. He’s, what, 35 now?

Hm..well hes definitely better than what hes been so far this season.
Another offer out there to Captain and 2 to Sean.

Yoda and I trading the lead. Game of the week right here, as much as it can be one.

Not that its something thats won me any championshops, but my football squads seem to have a knack for playing opponents when they have their worst games of the season. Im the ugly guy Sonny locked in the bathoom in A Bronx Tale.

Parrotheads and Titiletown turned out to be more interesting.

You get me next week. Hoping my players have more in the tank for the next week

This weeks injury update:

Justin Herbert (high ankle sprain)

*DeVonta Smith (concussion)

Sam LaPorta (ankle)

Adam Thielen (hamstring)

Trey McBride (concussion)

Najee Harris (arm)

Jaylen Warren (knee)

Brock Purdy (back)

…and Christian McCaffrey is in Germany visiting with an Achilles specialist!

No extra charge...

Spaulding vs Sean next week. Possible peek at what the MoFo Championship will be this year?

Looks like I will go as the Bills go, which undoubtedly means early season excitement with late season failure. Captain will probably beat me by 100 this week.

More rough news for my team, as my RB continue to fall.

Outlook is bleak!

Thank you!

Put up a great total, still lost.

I'm pushin' hard for some kind of upper/lower half scoring thing next year, though weirdly there's never much buy-in. I've been genuinely trying to find decent arguments for the random matchup pairing stuff for years and I've never heard a single one. It's just completely random swings.

Usually I start out strong and by the end of the third week one to three of my top draft picks are either out for a long stretch or done for the season, and it suddenly becomes a struggle to earn even 100 points per week. In this 2024 Fantasy season that pattern has been broken. My team has been relatively healthy thus far...but my uninjured stars are playing like less-than-ordinary scrubs, massively underachieving each week versus their past/expected performances.

I knew Detroit's QB Jared Goff was never going to have the same ceiling as his much more mobile contemporaries, but I hoped his floor would be good enough to make him a consistent asset. So far he has yet to crest 20 points in a week, though Week Three's 18.56 was his best yet, and more than double last week's interception-laden bust. My top pick, Atlanta's Bijon Robinson, had been solid, though TD-less, in the first two weeks. In this week's close loss to KC he finally found the end zone...but this time he did not get much yardage beyond that score, with a lower total: 12.20. For the guy I took as the second overall pick in our draft, he has not had an explosive, holy cow, monster week.I hope there are some of those coming, but while a 13-point average is steady, it isn't going to put me over the top.

My best player through three campaigns is probably Aaron Jones, who is in my FLEX spot. He was my lone score over twenty points this time (23.30) on his 148 combined yards and a TD in Minnesota's surprise crushing of Houston. My Texans WR Tank Dell was held down - again - to only 8.70 (62 yards of five catches). James Conner came out of the gate gangbusters in the first tow weeks, but he and a lot of other Cardinals were shut down by Detroit. After scores of 17.80 and 18.90 points Conner managed only 3.00 in Week Three! Ouch. My other Cardinal WR Marvin Harrison Jr., the rookie with the amazing breakout game in Week Two, had a solid follow-up of five catches for 64 yards and a TD (14.90). On the other side of the ball, my TE Sam LaPorta even in a Lions win was only targeted twice. He caught both balls for 36 yards, but also hurt his ankle and was gone for much of the game. His 4.60 points is just about his average through three weeks. I can hardly weep if he is out for any amount of time as he has been almost completely useless, thus far.

89.26 was my pathetic total. Ugly.

At least I beat my wife in our head-to-head match-up in my primary league.

I enjoy the difference we have between baseball and football, and I think they match the actual leagues. Baseball is a day to day grind, where eventually statistical anomalies are going to be dispensed, and the cream rises to the top. I love the week to week matchup feel of fantasy football and how it matches the any given Sunday parity of the actual NFL. It makes watching the games on Sunday much more exciting. I like the differences but, as usual, will be happy to go with whatever the majority decides.

I agree it mimics the feel, but it's totally random. It's essentially no different than if we all scored our points and then rolled dice to see which points played "against" some other points. If we did it in that order, deciding matchups AFTER scores rather than BEFORE, I think people would be clamoring for it to change, which kinda just shows that it's mostly a psychological trick.

I'm all for scoring formats and changes between sports that mimic the sports themselves at some point, provided they're doing more than just injecting randomness. If there were some way to actually have interplay between the teams, then okay, but right now it's a total facade.

If it makes any difference, I have zero hope I will convince more than like two people of any of this. Though I'll probably continue complaining about it anyway, at least until I finally hear some magic explanation that causes it to make sense to me.
