MoFo Fantasy Football - 2024 Season

Tools    





Mahomes doesnt have to blossom. My Oneil Cruz analogy was more explaining my thinking. If theyre not gonna produce anytime soon, no hope in sight, then theyre axed.
How do you form the conclusion "no hope in sight"? By extrapolating the last couple of games?

The Cruz analogy has a lot of problems, obviously. Baseball is totally different, Cruz had less of a track record (and was given a longer leash). But even so, he was also released rather than just not properly valued.



Fantasy football is a silly, frustrating game, inherently. But it feels a lot sillier and a lot more frustrating when there's this floating lottery ticket thing of "who will happen to have a player TONGO fixates on?" or "who will check their email the fastest when TONGO panic sells somebody"?

Man...both my teams taking absolute drubbings this week. Brutal!

Truth.
I must confess, I like the way I play Fantasy Sports. I have legit fun. When playing it properly I find it quite boring.

Now if Im having fun at the leagues expense then I should go, and I would have no hard feelings. Truly. Its been alot of fun but I want everyone to have fun. I dont want to bore or anger anyone. Im sure it wouldnt be hard to slot in a coach that plays properly if it would enhance the league.



Uh, yeah, if I overreacted im sorry. Not meaning to sound like a martyr or the kid saying "Ill take my ball and go home". Unless that is what yall want of course.

Half way point evaluation:

Record: 3-4

How did I get here?

I’m very lucky to have even won 3 games at this point. Achane was supposed to be an explosive option at RB but Tua’s injury has impacted not only his, but T Hill and Waddle’s production as well. With Tua set to return as early as next week, I’m hoping for Achane to return to the early season firm (wk 1 and 2 specifically).

Despite my low output of points, I’m surprisingly high on Total TD scored. That’s because Kyren and Burrow have been my co MVPs.
Despite the mediocre start, there’s reason for optimism ahead. Cooper looks to become WR 1 at Buffalo ,which means Shakir’s numbers may or may not take a hit. He’ll likely be even more TD dependent, something in the vein of Myers in LV. Achane’s production should see an increase as noted above, as well.
And I still have Chase Brown and Roschon Johnson, who have become more involved in the offense as of late, on the bench.

It’s not an easy road ahead. The next 4 games will be telling. If I can finish 5-2, that’ll put me in at 8-6, and likely playoff bound. A 7-7 finish May get me there, but as I’ve noted previously, 8-6 is an almost guarantee playoff spot more so than 7-7 is.

We’ll see how it shakes up



Record 4-3

Well everyone knows I drafted first and Yahoo got me CMC who I wouldve picked anyway. Was able to draft Cooper Kupp and Travis Kelce, was at work, and the rest was Yahoos doing.

QB Kyler Murray
WR Cooper Kupp
WR Zay Flowers
RB Christian McCaffrey
RB Kenneth Walker III
TE Travis Kelce
Flex Davonta Smith

Spaulding said he needed a TE. Of course I go into barter mode, but reeled myself in from any big deal and traded him my backup TE Dallas Goedert for McCaffreys handcuff. Within a day, Christian McCaffrey is suddenly Out and he still hasnt returned. Jordan Mason is no CMC, but hes damn good.
Cooper Kupp went Out
KW III went Out
Others went Out
I had a 4-0 record due to the TONGO curse where my opponents score the least amount of points when going against me. I hate that.
I wont go into every move/trade since, review the thread if youre a fan of tragedies. Now, this my team..

QB Russell Wilson or Kyler Murray
WR Cooper Kupp, one day
WR somebody
RB Jordan Mason, one day CMC
RB Kenneth Walker III
TE Hunter Henry
Flex Alvin Kamara


Curious if Sean Tucker does a repeat of last week. If he does Im willing to trade an RB for a WR.



The trick is not minding
I have read Kupp is close to returning, and almost returned this past week but felt his ankle isn’t quite ready yet. He was out there running routes prior to the game (I can confirm this, seeing him on screen as he ran around).

It should provide a spark at your WR position when he returns, at least



Could you imagine the biggest upset in the history of our league happens Week 8 if Parrotheads beat the Censored Clowns



Tough stuff this week! I got smoked in both leagues.
I won in 2 of the 3. The one I lost in, I had a 60-point lead going into MNF...but my opponent had Lamar & Henry.

I said it during the draft: I almost pulled the trigger on Henry instead of Pacheco right before cap grabbed him. Regrets!



The good news is I am kicking butt in my primary, original league, the one with my wife where we actually play for money. I am all alone in first place at 6-1.



2022 Mofo Fantasy Football Champ
5-2 and 3-4 in my money leagues. I keep getting screwed with the MNF games in the 3-4 league. Start out ahead then lose. Burrows game vs Redskins as an example.



Am open to offers. Everyone is on the table for the right deal.
Scratch that. Im gonna stay put with what I have. Stopping now Ill probably still have the most moves and trades by seasons end anyway.

A pity. I’ve been considering a trade offer for Walker. I know you could use a WR
