😂 this would hit harder if I didn’t actually live in Burlington County. The next time a weather pattern comes west from NJ into Philly we’ll call it “Sandy’s Revenge”.

Beggin’ your pardon sir, the stadium is exit 17 on I-95. Blah blah not a straight line, I get it, but come the F on with this.

Literally in the next state over. OMG WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE

Just wrapped up the 12-team SF auction I referenced upthread. It was wall-to-wall chaos - certifiably insane - and I could not get enough of it. One more data point for pricing, on the off chance anyone's in one of these before the season starts. (Note that I stopped recording after I filled...

Hey, it's me. Remember? The guy from page 4 who (before the B-Rob trade was official) was out here attempting to throw cold water on the whole "Bill as lead RB" concept last week? So ... yeah. That guy just got back from his neighborhood league snake draft, where he took JCM at RB27. Because...

I respect the heck out of you, HSG, and I'm not picking on you here, but I see this argument a lot from people who argue against "win-now" type deals. Winning a Super Bowl doesn't involve the same start-to-finish death march as, say, winning the Premier League - where four teams routinely...

Welp - had my first draft last night and wound up with a chance to try out the RB-RB-RB strategery for myself. 10-team half-PPR keeper (keep up to 3 players at a one-round premium from the prior year). 6-pt pass TDs and 1/2/3/1 +1 flex lineups. I drew the 9 slot: 1.09 RB Christian McCaffrey...

Smith falling to 6.11 is bonkers. He had a consensus 3/4 turn ADP last season, performed in line with expectations, and finds himself in an effectively identical situation; I'd argue even this year's mid-5th ADP undervalues him. ... but that's kind of the beauty of this strategy, isn't it...

Bumping for additional advice or results ... I thought that by now I'd played just about every variety of FF that exists, but this weekend will mark my first-ever 12-team SF auction. I'm already behind the 8-ball as ten of the other owners have 10+ years together - so the more data I can get my...

Yeah, I get it. If Burrow happens to win the passing triple crown again, there’s a good chance that in such leagues he’ll more than pay off a QB4 draft cost. But that’s not what I’d call the likeliest outcome. This does not mean I’d take Hurts over him in such a format - which would arguably be...

15 - Brock Bowers: What have we learned about top-15 TEs by ADP over the past 15 years? Well, we’ve learned that they can be worth the cost if their last name is Kelce or Gronkowski. I suppose it’s possible that Bowers is also a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but I’ll let someone else make that...

Hey, I hear you. Bucky Irving darn near carried me to the IBL individual title last season. But he was my 15th-round pick - not a guy I gave up draft capital to move into another draft so I could take in the 8th instead of Jennings, Njoku, or Kyler Murray. Everyone's risk tolerance is...

We're halfway through drafting in the IBL (60-team league with five FF boards including FBG represented and five staggered drafts) ... and just within the past 24 hours JCM has gone off the board twice: 8.10BThe Dude (LW Ronin 4C)Croskey-Merritt, Jacory WAS RB30 (R) and...

Thanks! FWIW @Ministry of Pain I was just as flummoxed by predrafting in this new “draft room” as you were. Fortunately I got the OTC notification 3 minutes after stepping off the first leg of my flight so was able to handle it the old-fashioned way. 😀

Just FYI all - boarding a flight 5:30am tomorrow for the West Coast and then onward to Hawai’i, so I’ll be out of pocket nearly the whole day. I’ll set a reasonable handful of predrafts beforehand but apologies in advance if they get gobbled up. Either way I’ll check in as soon as I can.
