I reserve the right to change this (probably more than once), but I made some wholesale changes from previous iterations. Really like having few BYEs late and I think I have all different BYEs at the skill positions except Pierce and Swift in Week 6, but I can live with that. Tear it apart!

QB - Russell Wilson - DEN/9 - $18
QB - Kirk Cousins - MIN/7 - $14
QB - Jared Goff - DET/6 - $9

RB - DAndre Swift - DET/6 - $29
RB - Dalvin Cook - MIN/7 - $29

RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10
RB - Jerick McKinnon - KC/8 - $8
RB - Eno Benjamin - ARI/13 - $6

WR - Courtland Sutton - DEN/9 - $19
WR - Adam Thielen - MIN/7 - $17
WR - Tyler Boyd - CIN/10 - $11

WR - Sammy Watkins - GB/14 - $4

TE - Irv Smith - MIN/7 - $14
TE - Albert Okwuegbunam - DEN/9 - $9
TE - Mo Alie-Cox - IND/14 - $6

PK - Cade York - CLE/9 - $4
PK - Rodrigo Blankenship - IND/14 - $3
PK - Kaimi Fairbairn - HOU/6 - $3

TD - Green Bay Packers - GB/14 - $4
TD - Minnesota Vikings - MIN/7 - $3
TD - Tennessee Titans - TEN/6 - $3

For me this is a bit soft on WR/TE... some guys with decent upside for sure, but need another "reliable contributor" with sky-high ceiling at each position IMO. Having more depth gives you diversity and maybe a higher floor on bye weeks, but hard to see this being a championship-winner without more WR/TE firepower IMO.
 
For simplicity, I put all of this in a spreadsheet and so I can calculate the results instantly for different starting numbers. But accept that this may yield a final result that is off by one or two teams due to not always rounding up as Joe specified in the rules (Excel rounds either up or down, rather than always up).

FWIW, Excel has a formula for that.

=ROUNDUP(remaining_teams*(100-cutoff%)/100)
Thanks, I thought so, but didn't feel like looking it up at 2:30am. I'll make a note of it for future use.

He had his best game against NE last year comparable D to Raiders so hoping for a replay of that game. Not too much to ask.

You misread what I typed - I was asking if you were OK having to start Josh Allen in week 6, not Davis Mills in week 7. Haha

Here's another fun one.

QB - Derek Carr - LV/6 - $13
QB - Kenny Pickett - PIT/9 - $3
Putting all my faith in Carr, who is primed to throw for tons of yards, and hopefully lots of TD's. Even if Pickett hasn't taken over by week 6, I could get by week 6 without a QB.

RB - Dalvin Cook - MIN/7 - $29
RB - Saquon Barkley - NYG/9 - $26
RB - A.J. Dillon - GB/14 - $20

RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10
Shouldn't be hard getting 2 good scores each week from this quartet, and many times a flex (or two).

WR - Mike Evans - TB/11 - $25
WR - Allen Robinson - LAR/7 - $20

WR - Courtland Sutton - DEN/9 - $19
WR - George Pickens - PIT/9 - $6
WR - Josh Palmer - LAC/8 - $6
You know your squad is solid when Courtland Sutton doesn't get bolded.

TE - Travis Kelce - KC/8 - $30
TE - Mark Andrews - BAL/10 - $28

I bet you're wondering how I can afford both these studs, after you see my RB's and WR's, huh?

PK - Graham Gano - NYG/9 - $3
PK - Austin Seibert - DET/6 - $3
PK - Rodrigo Blankenship - IND/14 - $3
Biggest reason to carry 3 for this team is to bring the total up to 18.

TD - Minnesota Vikings - MIN/7 - $3
TD - Tennessee Titans - TEN/6 - $3
Considered keeping a 3rd D and just going with 1 QB, but I kinda like Pickett.
 
probably not enough studs to make it far, but think I’m going with this.

I've reconfigured my lineup (changing 5 or 6 skill players each time) about 5 times in the last 5 days. This churn is not good for my emotional well being. :hangover:

You mean 5 times per day in the last 5 days, right?
Thanks for giving me better perspective. :)

I'm going to the beach for the weekend so I'll get a temporary reprieve from roster obsession. Or at least from roster edits.

Of course there's always Android...an internet cafes....dammit!
 
Here we go.

Post your final lineup here by Monday night 9/5 at 11:59 PM ET. And if that exact lineup finishes in the top 250 spots, I'll throw in an additional $100 on top of whatever prize you win.
For all you "tweakers" out there, do you think you have what it takes to quit, cold turkey?
And remember, just because you didn't change your submission, you still have to post it here. When the contest locks, I will then compare your actual roster to the MOST RECENT roster you post in here, BEFORE the Monday night deadline above.

I've actually been running out of tweaks lately, with most of them the last few days being swapping one lotto WR for another, so probably. Of course, that assumes there aren't last second injuries like last year.

Yep. Something like Dalvin goes down Tuesday and everyone changes their roster to get a cheap starter. Then Wednesday the Vikings trade for Hunt. Entry becomes a total redo.
 
It’s the combination of the contest format itself (best ball that you can constantly “redraft“ your team for weeks straight) PLUS this damn thread where people post their rosters, you see a player on their roster and go “ooh. I wonder if I can fit that guy in?” and 5 iterations ensue.

just happened to me seeing a roster on this page with Lazard on it..I went “ooooh”….and traded in my Pittman and DJ Chark for Lazard and Renfrow. Seemed like an upgrade to me in best ball (and it gave me some spare change for a $3 TE in Rudolph). Improvement or not?

My team is along the same lines.
 
Here we go.

Post your final lineup here by Monday night 9/5 at 11:59 PM ET. And if that exact lineup finishes in the top 250 spots, I'll throw in an additional $100 on top of whatever prize you win.
For all you "tweakers" out there, do you think you have what it takes to quit, cold turkey?
And remember, just because you didn't change your submission, you still have to post it here. When the contest locks, I will then compare your actual roster to the MOST RECENT roster you post in here, BEFORE the Monday night deadline above.
I've actually been running out of tweaks lately, with most of them the last few days being swapping one lotto WR for another, so probably. Of course, that assumes there aren't last second injuries like last year.
Yep. Something like Dalvin goes down Tuesday and everyone changes their roster to get a cheap starter. Then Wednesday the Vikings trade for Hunt. Entry becomes a total redo.
Yeah, that injury thing rings a bell. Last year J.K. Dobbins went down right before the start of the season. He was a $23 RB. So Gus Evans steps into his place and is instantly is a huge RB value for $11. So I make the swap just before the Subscriber Contest deadline. Then Gus Edwards also blows out his knee in week 1 before recording a single fantasy point.
 
I have followed this thread much closer this year than in the past. Turns out I barely have time to keep up with the thread let alone put the time into roster building that some of you do. I’m impressed.

I picked $3 Randolph in TB now that Gronk is gone, even though half the news snippets say Randolph will get the lions share of the Gronk role, and the other half says the opposite.

Your favorite $3 tight end…GO!

I **** you not - Rudolph went in the 5th of a 12-teamer tonight!

So, um, Rudolph then. We have REAL WORLD DRAFT DATA to support it!

So, um, no. We laughed so hard the guy left the bar and we put his team on autodraft.

REAL WORLD DATA, I tell you!!!!
 
Here's another fun one.

QB - Derek Carr - LV/6 - $13
QB - Kenny Pickett - PIT/9 - $3
Putting all my faith in Carr, who is primed to throw for tons of yards, and hopefully lots of TD's. Even if Pickett hasn't taken over by week 6, I could get by week 6 without a QB.

RB - Dalvin Cook - MIN/7 - $29
RB - Saquon Barkley - NYG/9 - $26
RB - A.J. Dillon - GB/14 - $20

RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10
Shouldn't be hard getting 2 good scores each week from this quartet, and many times a flex (or two).

WR - Mike Evans - TB/11 - $25
WR - Allen Robinson - LAR/7 - $20

WR - Courtland Sutton - DEN/9 - $19
WR - George Pickens - PIT/9 - $6
WR - Josh Palmer - LAC/8 - $6
You know your squad is solid when Courtland Sutton doesn't get bolded.

TE - Travis Kelce - KC/8 - $30
TE - Mark Andrews - BAL/10 - $28

I bet you're wondering how I can afford both these studs, after you see my RB's and WR's, huh?

PK - Graham Gano - NYG/9 - $3
PK - Austin Seibert - DET/6 - $3
PK - Rodrigo Blankenship - IND/14 - $3
Biggest reason to carry 3 for this team is to bring the total up to 18.

TD - Minnesota Vikings - MIN/7 - $3
TD - Tennessee Titans - TEN/6 - $3
Considered keeping a 3rd D and just going with 1 QB, but I kinda like Pickett.

Very close to one of my iterations except at RB I went with Zamir White and Jeff Wilson instead of AJ Dillon (spent the $$ for different #2 QB and 3rd D)... and then at WR went St. Brown + Chark instead of Evans. Same TEs.

It's weird that I like St. Brown, Chark, and even consider Hockenson... but haven't really been considering Goff... I guess on the theory that Carr has higher enough ceiling that he's worth the extra $4.
 
Just curious, I noticed this year I don't see the "weekly performance" chart by week rendering on individual player pages as I usually do on FBG site. Are others getting the same result, or do you see the charts? I tried both my Mac and PC, same result. I like to use these charts to get a sense of a player's weekly variance (floor/ceiling) from prior seasons. Kinda missing it this year.

OK, someone used the words cold turkey. And this is it. Unless there’s an injury (or I discover one in my final vetting), this is my final final.

QB - Lamar Jackson - BAL/10 - $19
QB - Jared Goff - DET/6 - $9
QB - Marcus Mariota - ATL/14 - $5
QB - Desmond Ridder - ATL/14 - $4

I started with Carr/Cousins, but so did everyone else. So I love Lamar (in fantasy - F the Ravens IRL). I couldn’t decide between the ATL tandem, and PIT’s. Ultimately it came down to watching Pickett in the preseason. He was playing vs. 2nd string vanilla defenses, and I didn’t once see him look off a receiver. If I knew where he was throwing, opposing defenses certainly will.

RB - Dalvin Cook - MIN/7 - $29
RB - Chase Edmonds - MIA/11 - $14
RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10
RB - Jerick McKinnon - KC/8 - $8
RB - Brian Robinson - WAS/14 - $7
RB - Zamir White - LV/6 - $6

My best stud is at RB, without reaching for the top of the chart. Robinson is obviously my biggest risk here. I think Edmonds gets the majority of touches in Miami. If I’m wrong, it’s going to be a short season for me. Pierce will be rostered everywhere, but you need a couple of those guys when they represent value. I think White is starting sooner than later.

WR - D.J. Moore - CAR/13 - $23
WR - Courtland Sutton - DEN/9 - $19
WR - JuJu Smith-Schuster - KC/8 - $15
WR - George Pickens - PIT/9 - $6
WR - Isaiah McKenzie - BUF/7 - $6
WR - Romeo Doubs - GB/14 - $5

I love my top 4 at those prices. I won’t be surprised to see Pickens as one of the most owned players, but for that value, I had to.

TE - T.J. Hockenson - DET/6 - $17
TE - Dallas Goedert - PHI/7 - $15
TE - Mo Alie-Cox - IND/14 - $6
TE - Tommy Tremble - CAR/13 - $5

I waivered back and forth between 1) three guys, including a stud, and 2) this foursome. Maybe I’m wrong. But what if I’m right? I think I’m OK at TE. But if you’re spending $43, should you be better than OK?

PK - Randy Bullock TEN/6 - $4
PK - Chris Boswell - PIT/9 - $4
PK - Rodrigo Blankenship - IND/14 - $3

I like kickers on teams with strong defenses. Almost all of the cheaper ones I wanted had week 9 and 14 byes. So I settled for Bullock as my third. Not thrilled with him…

TD - San Francisco 49ers - SF/9 - $4
TD - Baltimore Ravens - BAL/10 - $4
TD - Minnesota Vikings - MIN/7 - $3

I really like all three of these defenses at their prices.

Overall thoughts - I feel like I’m varying from the crowd in several places. I also think that I can sustain an injury or two. And while I have $30 tied up in week 14 byes, they represent my QB3, RB5, WR6, TE3, and a kicker. I’m OK with that. I also only have $33 sitting in week 9, including a K and a D.

So let’s run with this!

I'm looking for the quick-glance visualization though that translates that all into weekly fantasy points. It's always been there in years past, and there's a space for it now, but looks to be broken.
 
Here's every player with over 33% ownership, 2015-21

<snip>

On average that's 4 players per year: 2.3 RBs, 1.3 WRs, and 0.4 others. Usually cheap to mid-range guys who moved their way up the depth chart after the pricing was set. With mixed results, e.g. Kareem Hunt had a huge year in 2017 after Spencer Ware got hurt, while Gus Edwards joined JK Dobbins on IR before the 2021 season started and missed the whole season.

Fascinating list, as I see a LOT of flops there!

Of course, the cheaper they are, the more that the devastating downside outweighs the upside of fading them

The all-time preseason deal was Arian Foster in 2010 I believe. Was cheap and ended up being the #1 RB or close to it. I'm curious what his ownership was, but I know it was quite high.

Right. In 2018 $4 Connor put up big numbers before getting injured prior to playoffs. Survival rate during the season was something like <2% for teams who didn’t have him rostered. He didn’t help anyone win the last few weeks but you probably didn’t get to the dance without

Just about got my rooster nailed down. Still struggling with a $20-22 RB and the best RB under $6 (or just combine them)
