I know 25% of the NFL has byes in weeks 13 & 14, so it will take monster-sized cajones to pick any big bucks players from these teams. By week 13, around 97% of the teams will have been eliminated.

Between weeks 13 & 14 byes I currently have 7 of my 24 players/teams on my roster affected, I have cover in some sense with bye weeks but man that really is something to consider.

QB - Kyler Murray - ARI/13 - $22
QB - Marcus Mariota - ATL/14 - $5
QB - Desmond Ridder - ATL/14 - $4
RB - Jonathan Taylor - IND/14 - $39

Now that would take some massive Cajones to roll with that given week 14 you only have 4 active players to fill your 7 RB/WR/TE slots.

It would be a monster team leading up to Wk 13/14 byes though!

Or what if Tom Brady skips the Germany game before the bye...

[BassNBrew]

Judging by the rosters posted thus far I think the pricing ended up being a little to jacked up. This feels like drafting in a 16 team league. I don't recall Cmac ever being this high and he has a late bye which should discount his price.

I'm not sure the rosters we are seeing is much more than a smokescreen.....these are not the rosters your looking for.

 

[TheWinz]

This is my first semi-serious attempt.

QB - Kirk Cousins - MIN/7 - $14
QB - Derek Carr - LV/6 - $13
Not gonna get many points rushing, but both have early byes, and rarely miss games. A safe and boring combo; I don't feel like I must take a 3rd QB with this duo.

RB - Saquon Barkley - NYG/9 - $26
RB - Rhamondre Stevenson - NE/10 - $15
RB - Ken Walker - SEA/11 - $14
RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10
RB - Tyler Allgeier - ATL/14 - $7
RB - Brian Robinson - WAS/14 - $7
Counting quite a bit on a guy who hasn't performed recently. I think this squad will get better as the season moves on. Minor bye conflict, but no big deal.

WR - Stefon Diggs - BUF/7 - $29
WR - Mike Evans - TB/11 - $25
WR - K.J. Osborn - MIN/7 - $8
WR - George Pickens - PIT/9 - $6
WR - Josh Palmer - LAC/8 - $6
WR - A.J. Green - ARI/13 - $4
Two weekly studs, then secretly hoping for Adam Thielen and Keenan Allen/Mike Williams injuries. One early bye conflict, again, no worry.

TE - Travis Kelce - KC/8 - $30
TE - George Kittle - SF/9 - $18
Likely using both every week, but should get at least 1 usable score.

PK - Graham Gano - NYG/9 - $3
PK - Kaimi Fairbairn - HOU/6 - $3
PK - Zane Gonzalez - CAR/13 - $3
I always take kickers from the offensive juggernauts... just kidding. I just count these guys as the safest of the crap.

TD - Minnesota Vikings - MIN/7 - $3
TD - Detroit Lions - DET/6 - $3
TD - Arizona Cardinals - ARI/13 - $3
This trio has some nice matchups. Every year a cheap D rises to the top. Let's hope I chose wisely.

Hmmm, 12 of my first roster are on yours, including identical QBs and TEs. That may mean they're too popular and might need changed up. Time to revise the roster! (Of course, if none of my guys were on your roster, it would mean I was picking poorly and it would be time to revise my roster)

Biggest difference is that I'm currently at 9 cheap WRs (all under $15). Based on past experience, though, it's only a matter of time until i try to combine a couple of them into a stud or two.

Yes been a Hawks fan since the days of the dome. I went to my first Hawks game when Elway was playing and the Hawks were still in the AFC West. Lived through the Behring/Flores years as well....at least the last 10 or so have been enjoyable. This year...yea I'll be drinking early and often...

Yeah , at one point I had 8 rookies and had to switch things up a bit… also this hernia now really making me rethink my RB situation.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Anybody else have a problem with the submit button blocked by the calculator bar?

We'd like to fix this -- could you send a screenshot to help@footballguys.com ?

Suggest re-sizing your screen. If you're over 100%, or have a smaller screen and are over 80% these things can happen.

Might not be a FBG fix.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Well that was a fun waste of time. Love how you tweek it to get byes right and then you read the thread and think of like 4 more problems

Like you'd get out of this with anything less than 37 re-submits anyway.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Where my $2 K & D at?

Where my $2 K & D at?

Definitely the biggest change in the contest this year.

 

[TheWinz]

Yeah. For the last 8 years, you could select at least 3 D's for the price of the most expensive one(s), and 4 from 2015 thru 2018. The same hasn't been true of K's. Last year, there weren't 3 options for the price of 1.

[SeniorVBDStudent]

I'll play...
- 2 qbs is thin.
- your RB2 is a rookie and Carter is pretty good
- RB2, RB3, and RB4 are in committees
- $93 on wrs is pretty rich spending
- of your wrs, only Diggs and Palmer give me a warm fuzzy.
- I like your TE group

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

and I'll do some self-coaching since I'm not just trying to bash others

QB is a play on Jalen Hurts plus depth. Allen is almost a no brainer but I think you can choose carefully in the $4-8 discount range and approach 95% of Allen's probable output this year. I also think Cousins and Carr will be hugely popular but there is some organizational change in each case so I'm playing in the space between Allen and Cousins/Carr.

RB is a play on King Henry being comeback player of the year and backhand against Tannehill without AJ Brown. RB2A and RB2B (Mitchell San Fran and Harris New England) require further study on my part as the volumes of their roles is a little suspect. Scott and Perine add depth with a few touches per game each and some starter injury upside.

WRs I'll just comment on Kupp. He's the new megatron for Stafford. Barring injury I expect him to significantly outperform Jefferson, Chase, Diggs, Lamb and Adams. I would give Chase and Adams the best chase to compete with him, but I think they both have some tough sledding ahead. The other WRs are fairly obvious, though I would understand why having Parker and Thorton would have some label me a homer (but I'm not sure that Agholor will see the field much in 2022 and am willing to bet on Belichick's Devante Parker fetish).

TE is Kittle plus depth. Looks like Lance is being handed the keys and a tight end is rookie's best friend (or a marginal qb's best friend - see Mark Andrews).

QB's - Lemme just ask - of the 17 weeks, how many weeks would you think each of them would start for you?

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

Hurts 11 Jones 3 Mills 2 Pickett 1. Variances apply and provides some injury protection. Decent chance Jones and Pickett make the playoffs as wildcards. Pundits say Pickett will ride the pine for most or all of the year, but I've seen MItchell Trubisky atttempt to play professional quarterback and it ain't pretty.

Feels like 2022 is solving the RB and TE riddle with lots of options at QB and WR.

I like those numbers. I had to ask.

 

[TheWinz]

For those rostering Rodrigo, I think he is listed at $3 because his job security is in doubt. He's tempting because of the team he is on, but something tells me he won't last the season.

Kickers...always one of the last things I check before my final submission. The Colts could very well have a respectable offense, so getting a cheap kicker in that situation is a good thing. For now, I will leave Rodrigo in there. As news emerges, changes very well may be needed.

Kickers...always one of the last things I check before my final submission. The Colts could very well have a respectable offense, so getting a cheap kicker in that situation is a good thing. For now, I will leave Rodrigo in there. As news emerges, changes very well may be needed.

me too. I have Blankenship in there as a $3 placeholder. If he sticks with Indy, he stays on my team. If not, move on to another $3 Kicker.
that said, I’ve already tweaked my roster at RB and WR since my last post, 10 posts up thread. I’m sure that’s “barely touching it” compared to some in this thread

Yeah, I had to say goodbye to Ken Walker. Have to figure out where to apply that $14 now.

The first thing that jumped out at me was, with only 5 WR's, I would not want any bye conflicts, and you have 2 sets of them.
Based on bucks, I bolded your weekly starters, and I like what I see.
Have you given thought into combining your bottom 3 TE's into a Kittle/Schultz/Hockenson type, or do you prefer the variance?
Your D's mesh pretty well. You get to face WAS in 15, HOU in 16, and ATL in 17.

I know 25% of the NFL has byes in weeks 13 & 14, so it will take monster-sized cajones to pick any big bucks players from these teams. By week 13, around 97% of the teams will have been eliminated.

Between weeks 13 & 14 byes I currently have 7 of my 24 players/teams on my roster affected, I have cover in some sense with bye weeks but man that really is something to consider.

QB - Kyler Murray - ARI/13 - $22
QB - Marcus Mariota - ATL/14 - $5
QB - Desmond Ridder - ATL/14 - $4
RB - Jonathan Taylor - IND/14 - $39
RB - Christian McCaffrey - CAR/13 - $37
RB - Alvin Kamara - NO/14 - $28
RB - Chuba Hubbard - CAR/13 - $3
WR - Michael Pittman - IND/14 - $24
WR - D.J. Moore - CAR/13 - $23
WR - Byron Pringle - CHI/14 - $6
WR - Velus Jones - CHI/14 - $3
WR - Amari Rodgers - GB/14 - $3
WR - Olamide Zaccheaus - ATL/14 - $3
TE - Kyle Pitts - ATL/14 - $24
TE - Tommy Tremble - CAR/13 - $5
TE - Anthony Firkser - ATL/14 - $3
PK - Rodrigo Blankenship - IND/14 - $3
PK - Cairo Santos - CHI/14 - $3
PK - Zane Gonzalez - CAR/13 - $3
TD - Atlanta Falcons - ATL/14 - $3
TD - Arizona Cardinals - ARI/13 - $3
TD - Carolina Panthers - CAR/13 - $3

Now that would take some massive Cajones to roll with that given week 14 you only have 4 active players to fill your 7 RB/WR/TE slots.

It would be a monster team leading up to Wk 13/14 byes though!

hurrumph!

Thanks for the info! I'm gonna keep asking you so feel free to ignore me when you get board of analyzing it lol
I did think about combining those TE's, but I simply can't not have Taysom on my team. For the weeks he scores a TD, or if he ends up playing QB at all, that's the best 5 bucks ever spent. (PS how will the contest count it if he becomes the starting qb? Still gets to be in the TE spot?). I also really like Albert O. I do suppose I could boot out Mo, but kind of wanted to have a 3rd TE and Hill will have many 0 weeks so he doesn't really count.

Haha. I forgot the "of the day" at the end.

 

[TheWinz]

This is a good question for @Joe Bryant

I did dig through the rules, and it seems he would remain a TE throughout the contest no matter what. On the flip side, if you rostered Justin Tucker, and he became the Ravens QB, you would get no points other than his EP's and FG's, because he was offered as a kicker.

From what I can make out Hill is eligible for Off Skill position points, but not if he were to score on a special teams play (where he often lines up), although with Dalton there as the backup I doubt Hill becomes anything more than a gadget occasional pass here and there option:

Scoring​

Player Scoring for QB, RB, WR, TE

• Passing TDs = 6 points
• Interceptions Thrown = -1 points
• Rushing TD = 6 points
• Receiving TD = 6 points
• Passing Yardage = .05 points per yard
• Rushing Yardage = .10 points per yard
• Receiving Yardage = .10 points per yard
• Receptions for RB = 0.5 points
• Receptions for WR = 1.0 points
• Receptions for TE = 1.5 points

In the event of a discrepancy among stat providers on any of the above statistics for any of the above positions, the nfl.com player page game logs will be deemed to be official. For players listed on the contest form as QB, RB, WR, or TE, no points will be awarded for any stats not listed above (e.g. return TDs, fumble recovery TDs, receptions for QB, two-point conversions, etc.).

 

[Dacomish]

Still an early entry, as things like K's will be checked closer to lock as well as re-configuring if injuries arise, but I seem to keep gravitating back to this, a few bye conflicts here and there in my RB/WR's but I have multiple options outside of those:

QB - Lamar Jackson - BAL/10 - $19
QB - Kirk Cousins - MIN/7 - $14
QB - Davis Mills - HOU/6 - $7
RB - Nick Chubb - CLE/9 - $24
RB - A.J. Dillon - GB/14 - $20
RB - Rhamondre Stevenson - NE/10 - $15
RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10
RB - Khalil Herbert - CHI/14 - $9
RB - Rachaad White - TB/11 - $8
RB - Zack Moss - BUF/7 - $3
WR - Courtland Sutton - DEN/9 - $19
WR - JuJu Smith-Schuster - KC/8 - $15
WR - Tyler Lockett - SEA/11 - $13
WR - K.J. Osborn - MIN/7 - $8
WR - Donovan Peoples-Jones - CLE/9 - $5
WR - Velus Jones - CHI/14 - $3
WR - Cedrick Wilson - MIA/11 - $3
TE - T.J. Hockenson - DET/6 - $17
TE - Dallas Goedert - PHI/7 - $15
TE - Taysom Hill - NO/14 - $5
PK - Graham Gano - NYG/9 - $3
PK - Greg Zuerlein - NYJ/10 - $3
PK - Zane Gonzalez - CAR/13 - $3
TD - Chicago Bears - CHI/14 - $3
TD - Minnesota Vikings - MIN/7 - $3
TD - Arizona Cardinals - ARI/13 - $3

Total value: 250

This is a question for @Contest Turk Can you please ask the full question though? I wasn't sure who you meant or what the question was.
