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!
This team is well balanced. I do think Pickett is a great value at $3, but can't argue with your preseason analysis. Also with this build, the ATL QB combo makes more sense than the PIT QB combo.

A little behind on the whole thread - is there a cookie available if we post our rooster before closes?
Thanks!
-QG
Yes. $100 cookie if you post your final rooster by 11:59 Monday and don’t change it before the deadline.

Been tweaking most every day. Will be hard to leave it unchanged. Sweet spot is around 24 players but I’m stuck in the 20-23 range.
 
Thanks :)
I've been in the 24-25 zone - I keep churning my rooster but maybe I'll stop Monday night :)
-QG
I’m currently at 26 and digging it.
but ONE little injury (even if just for a couple of weeks) to anyone on my roster will make the whole house of cards fall down and I’ll be starting over.
 
I haven't even changed this all that much this year. That is different for me.

QB - Trey Lance - SF/9 - $15
QB - Kirk Cousins - MIN/7 - $14
QB - Davis Mills - HOU/6 - $7
RB - Joe Mixon - CIN/10 - $30
RB - Dalvin Cook - MIN/7 - $29
RB - Nick Chubb - CLE/9 - $24
RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10
WR - Mike Williams - LAC/8 - $21
WR - Amon-Ra St. Brown - DET/6 - $17
WR - Christian Kirk - JAX/11 - $16
WR - George Pickens - PIT/9 - $6
WR - Romeo Doubs - GB/14 - $5
TE - Cole Kmet - CHI/14 - $14
TE - Dawson Knox - BUF/7 - $14
TE - Albert Okwuegbunam - DEN/9 - $9
PK - Graham Gano - NYG/9 - $3
PK - Austin Seibert - DET/6 - $3
PK - Rodrigo Blankenship - IND/14 - $3
TD - San Francisco 49ers - SF/9 - $4
TD - Minnesota Vikings - MIN/7 - $3
TD - Arizona Cardinals - ARI/13 - $3
 
After several days of leaving my lineup alone, today was just a barrage of tinkering... in the end though, I really like this iteration. Probably gonna stay with this.

Amusingly enough, I noticed a few trends developing in this thread, and actively moved to steer AWAY from them.

QB - Justin Herbert - LAC/8 - $23
QB - Jared Goff - DET/6 - $9

Way too many participants seem to have Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr and Russel Wilson to a lesser degree. IMO, Goff is a cheap and very solid QB2 allowing me to reach for a bigger fish. Herbert is gonna have a big year, plus I haven't seen too many entries with him.

RB - Christian McCaffrey - CAR/13 - $37
RB - Elijah Mitchell - SF/9 - $18
RB - Chase Edmonds - MIA/11 - $14
RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10
RB - Khalil Herbert - CHI/14 - $9

My first iterations involved Dalvin Cook and either Barkley or Kamara. However, my faith in Mitchell has been growing, so it got me pondering... if Mitchell takes the Barkley role, what can I reach for... McCaffrey? Perfect!!! Edmonds I feel safe with, think he's gonna have a good season (barring injury of course), and the Chicago coaching staff really like Herbert...

WR - Courtland Sutton - DEN/9 - $19
WR - Amon-Ra St. Brown - DET/6 - $17
WR - Christian Kirk - JAX/11 - $16
WR - JuJu Smith-Schuster - KC/8 - $15
WR - Hunter Renfrow - LV/6 - $15
WR - Isaiah McKenzie - BUF/7 - $6
WR - Sammy Watkins - GB/14 - $4

The wideouts IMO are the sweet spot in the entire contest this season. Sutton and Juju are on a LOT of rosters for good reason. Amon-Ra and Kirk are gonna be significantly more expensive NEXT season, and people seem to have forgotten just how good Hunter Renfrow is. Watkins is gonna be good for about 3-4 barn burners this season justifying his roster spot, and McKenzie... a damn shame he didn't work out for the Broncos.


TE - Dallas Goedert - PHI/7 - $15
TE - Hayden Hurst - CIN/10 - $8

Looking at the Tight Ends gives me a lot more questions than answers. Went with Goedert because he's a safe and valuable play. Hurst? He's kinda like a lottery ticket for the tight ends

PK - Austin Seibert - DET/6 - $3
PK - Rodrigo Blankenship - IND/14 - $3
PK - Greg Zuerlein - NYJ/10 - $3

TD - Arizona Cardinals - ARI/13 - $3
TD - Tennessee Titans - TEN/6 - $3

The general obligatory array of cheap kickers and defenses.
 
Amusingly enough, I noticed a few trends developing in this thread, and actively moved to steer AWAY from them.
Something to remember - the folks that post in the contest thread only make up around 1-2% of all entries each year. There should only be 1 reason to steer clear of common players - if YOU think they aren't worth it. Just for giggles, has anyone ever seen a duplicate entry? I have not.

Final iteration has 22 players which is within my target range though I think 24 is the sweet spot most years. Focused on earlier bye weeks considering cut lines; didn’t want high dollars invested weeks 13 or 14. Stuck with most of my core guys posted on page 13. Sadly moved off Dobbins who I thought could be a league winner if healthy. Saved 8 different versions and decided to lock in this one. Taking a big risk going with a bunch of week 6 byes including QB1 and a hoard of flex options. Week 9 missing my #2 RB/WR/QB but I think there is enough strength to survive the churn. Hopeful we get a regular here on the forums to win the 5k food bank donation. Good luck!

As of this posting, here are all the folks who have posted a legitimate entry that qualifies for Joe's extra $100:
Remember - you can't just post something like 2 QB's for $30, or post only a portion of your roster. You gotta go Full Monty.

good luck everyone!
 
Here is my 18 player team. My strategy was towards a lean roster with all the fixin's. I did not shy away from late bye weeks and spent over 40% of my budget on 4 players across those weeks including week 14. That's crazy you say, you'll never make it through. But maybe I do and maybe I do. To week 14 and beyond!

QB - Derek Carr - LV/6 - $13 - High probability for QB12 or better at QB16 price.
QB - Daniel Jones - NYG/9 - $9 - Easiest QB strength of schedule. Same coach that unleashed Josh Allen.
--------------------------------------------
RB - Jonathan Taylor - IND/14 - $39 - Locked in from the start. #1 overall.
RB - Christian McCaffrey - CAR/13 - $37 - Return to glory. Great matchups.
RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10 - Finding a better way to spend $10 at RB was like OJ trying to find the real killer.
RB - Jeff Wilson - SF/9 - $3 - Shananigans activated.
RB - Zack Moss - BUF/7 - $3 - Showed up to camp in top form. Cousin Santana also broke out in year 3.
---------------------------------------------
WR - Cooper Kupp - LAR/7 - $36 - Cheat code. And still looking to improve.
WR - Ja'Marr Chase - CIN/10 - $35 - My avatar. Able to drop 266/3 and leap over entire defenses in a single game.
WR - Marquez Valdes-Scantling - KC/8 - $10 - Chiefs WR room is a riddle wrapped in a mystery. I'll take TJ Maxx Tyreek for $10.
WR - Josh Palmer - LAC/8 - $6 - Rising WR3 with a top QB and path to more this season.
WR - Jalen Tolbert - DAL/9 - $6 - Everyone wants the other rookie $6 WR with the same bye week. Give me the WR2 in this offense all day.
----------------------------------------------
TE - Kyle Pitts - ATL/14 - $24 - The unicornerstone. I just blended a new word for this TE Transformer. Here's a metaverse hot tub time machine to go back and draft Megatron and Julio Jones in their sophomore seasons, then start them at TE. 1200/12 for $24. Thank you kind sir.
TE - Cameron Brate - TB/11 - $7 - Subscribe to Megatron 2.0 above, ring that bell and get another 5TDs or more including at least 1 in week 14.
----------------------------------------------
PK - Austin Seibert - DET/6 - $3 - Fulfills the Hard Knocks one heart, one Lion roster requirement.
PK - Greg Zuerlein - NYJ/10 - $3 - Violates the do not draft any Jets rule. Toughest K schedule. Challenge accepted.
---------------------------------------------
TD - Minnesota Vikings - MIN/7 - $3 - Talent plus value and the bye week is right.
TD - Arizona Cardinals - ARI/13 - $3 - Should be priced higher. Top 12 again.

Love the writeups! Was wondering when you would post your team.
 
Once again thank you for everyone's help. This contest is way more in-depth than what I even do for redrafts so I am loving this.

I am definitely looking for feedback, critique, and or suggestions. I feel like most of this is rearranging until you get the byes sorted out. I feel weak on week 9 even though I have depth at all positions. I am not liking having Barkley, Sutton, and Kittle off that week.

Looks like a good squad
 
I post my roster to lock it in.
I see 4 other rosters posted after mine.
I question all of my choices and am itching to change it all.
i just closed the contest entry tab I’ve had open for the past month to try not to be temped.

The truly special thing about this contest is that it lets you draft your team, and draft it again, and draft it again…unlike any other fantasy football league I’ve ever been in. Addictive.

but I’m not tweaking my team again unless some big news affects one of my players.
 
I think I like this one the best so far. I'm going to keep digging for depth but honestly where is the line of diminishing returns? What I mean is at what point do you sacrifice volume for an increased roster? I do feel like a 24 roster size is ideal but dang it's tough to get there.

I like the depth. I went for some of the same reserves.
 
Not sure if this will last through the Monday $100 deadline, but here's where I'm at (roster size - 22).

QB - Jalen Hurts - PHI/7 - $19
QB - Aaron Rodgers - GB/14 - $16
QB - Kenny Pickett - PIT/9 - $3

intent is to outperform cousins/carr baseline.

RB - Dalvin Cook - MIN/7 - $29
RB - Leonard Fournette - TB/11 - $27
RB - Elijah Mitchell - SF/9 - $18
RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10
RB - Boston Scott - PHI/7 - $5

for a long time, I had a strong RB4 like Harris or Stephenson, but this forced me to not be able to afford an elite TE, so I sacrificed RB depth to get Kittle.

WR - Mike Williams - LAC/8 - $21
WR - Hunter Renfrow - LV/6 - $15
WR - DeAndre Hopkins - ARI/13 - $14
WR - Jarvis Landry - NO/14 - $9
WR - Mecole Hardman - KC/8 - $7
WR - Donovan Peoples-Jones - CLE/9 - $5

deciding not to pay for Kupp, Jefferson or Chase drive me all the way down to ~$20 for WR1. time will tell if this is a structural mistake....I do expect Williams to outperform Allen this year extrapolating a multi-year trend obviously, choosing to roster DHop is a big roll of the dice given the PED suspension and the fact that Kyler hates homework and loves video games....so much so that I'll change the nickname of my team to The DHop gambit.

TE - George Kittle - SF/9 - $18
TE - Robert Tonyan - GB/14 - $8
TE - Gerald Everett - LAC/8 - $8

there are a few alternatives that I also like here....but this was the only combo I liked from bye week mgt perspective.

PK - Chris Boswell - PIT/9 - $4
PK - Austin Seibert - DET/6 - $3
PK - Rodrigo Blankenship - IND/14 - $3
TD - New England Patriots - NE/10 - $5

New one
 
Last year I got bounced in week 4 by 5.35 points, due to 3 injuries, but I kept track to the end of the season anyway. In spite of the injuries, had I not been eliminated in week 4, I would have survived to the money round and finished 11th overall.

This year, every time I think I have my roster set, something happens to change my mind. This is where I'm at right now, but no guarantee this will not change before Wednesday night. I normally like to have a little more beef at TE, but I could not come up with a combination I liked without sacrificing more than I was comforable with elsewhere. I typically like to roster 25 but this only works out to 23.

Have had since first submission - Carr, Stevenson, Edmonds, Pierce, Thomas, Sutton, Pickens, Albert O, BlShip, Ravens, Vikings. Whatever. 2 WR Byes, weeks 6,7 & 9. Seems like there are many posted that have a lot of the same players, more than previous years. On vacation, leaving very early Tuesday morning for 9 days. Hiking and enjoying the company of a beautiful much younger woman whom I have been chatting with since May 4th.

Bold strategy Cotton, lets see if it pays off.
 
Didn't want to have my fake $448 roster be my most current team, so here is one I just came up with. It's at least a legal roster.

QB - Kirk Cousins - MIN/7 - $14
QB - Derek Carr - LV/6 - $13
I still think Derek Carr is going to be the best QB value of the contest. And Cousins is going to be a close 2nd. I toyed with adding Pickett ($3), but then I thought, if I'm so confident in the Cousins/Carr duo, isn't adding an insurance policy like betting against myself?

RB - Saquon Barkley - NYG/9 - $26
RB - Chase Edmonds - MIA/11 - $14

RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10
RB - Zamir White - LV/6 - $6
RB - Jeff Wilson - SF/9 - $3
RB - Zack Moss - BUF/7 - $3
Not worried about the bye conflicts if they involve cheap players that may only have a few starts for me. Should only have to use 2 scores weekly, but assume Saquon will be used almost every week. I went cheap here after I calculated points per dollar for RB, WR, and TE.

WR - Courtland Sutton - DEN/9 - $19
WR - Amon-Ra St. Brown - DET/6 - $17

WR - Christian Kirk - JAX/11 - $16
WR - JuJu Smith-Schuster - KC/8 - $15
I went thin here, but based on their prices, they should finish WR22, WR27, WR32, and WR35. I see them all beating those finishes. Getting 2 usable scores shouldn't be tough, and anything else is gravy. Spent a little bit more here than at RB, but all the WR fat has been trimmed.

TE - Travis Kelce - KC/8 - $30
TE - Mark Andrews - BAL/10 - $28
TE - Kyle Pitts - ATL/14 - $24

I liked the points per dollar value better at TE than RB or WR, so I went hog wild. FYI, in last year's contest, Andrews & Kelce both would've been top 6 WR's.

PK - Austin Seibert - DET/6 - $3
PK - Rodrigo Blankenship - IND/14 - $3
TD - Minnesota Vikings - MIN/7 - $3

TD - Arizona Cardinals - ARI/13 - $3
Could only afford to carry 2 of each, so I simply chose the ones I thought would finish higher than the other $3 options.

I really like this approach. My only tweak would be to split Kelce into two players WR/TE but if you believe he can finish top 2 TE again, then go for it!

got weeks 9/14 BYE issues but rolling with this
 
Yesterday's effort didn't last long...apparently I was not satisified with lack of RB3/4 quality and wanted an elite TE more than I was interested in QB2 quality or having an elite WR1. As I can't see a path to Kupp/Chase/Jefferson that I'm ok with structurally, this might be end game (he said naively)....

roster size 23

QB - Jalen Hurts - PHI/7 - $19
QB - Davis Mills - HOU/6 - $7
QB - Kenny Pickett - PIT/9 - $3

RB - Dalvin Cook - MIN/7 - $29

Might as well get this posted in case I get side-tracked later.

QB - Josh Allen - BUF/7 - $25
QB - Mitchell Trubisky - PIT/9 - $5
QB - Kenny Pickett - PIT/9 - $3

I usually go with two midrange guys and actually started off with Cousins/Carr in my first iteration. Decided to change up this year and go big. The Steeler combo should work out as well or better than any of the single digit backups I could have paired with Allen and gives me a small hedge against the dreaded backup injury during the stud's bye week.

RB - Derrick Henry - TEN/6 - $31
RB - Nick Chubb - CLE/9 - $24
RB - Rhamondre Stevenson - NE/10 - $15
RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10
RB - Eno Benjamin - ARI/13 - $6

It seems like people are forgetting how dominating Henry was before the injury last year. If he can even get close to that, he's a bargain. Like a lot of others, I started with Walker, Pierce and Robinson, but couldn't bring myself to take the risk of when Walker and Robinson might get back, so I moved to Rhamondre and the cheap lottery of Eno.

WR - Courtland Sutton - DEN/9 - $19
WR - Amon-Ra St. Brown - DET/6 - $17
WR - JuJu Smith-Schuster - KC/8 - $15
WR - George Pickens - PIT/9 - $6
WR - Zay Jones - JAX/11 - $5
WR - Bryan Edwards - ATL/14 - $4

Three solid every week type of contributors. Hoping Pickens lives up to his preseason showing and Jones and Edwards contribute a couple times each. It seemed like all the cheap WRs I liked had Week 9 byes, so I had to pass on several of them.

TE - Dalton Schultz - DAL/9 - $18
TE - T.J. Hockenson - DET/6 - $17
TE - Dallas Goedert - PHI/7 - $15

I always go TE heavy in the contest, but this year I couldn't find a way to include Kelce or Andrews without creating depth issues. I'm thinking these three ought to give me TE1 production plus at least one flex score every week.

PK - Graham Gano - NYG/9 - $3
PK - Rodrigo Blankenship - IND/14 - $3
PK - Kaimi Fairbairn - HOU/6 - $3

Meh, three cheap kickers.

TD - Minnesota Vikings - MIN/7 - $3
TD - Arizona Cardinals - ARI/13 - $3

This may be the first time I went with less than 3 defenses, but without any $1 or $2 options anywhere on the board, I felt like I needed the extra $3 elsewhere.

QB - Russell Wilson - DEN/9 - $18
QB - Derek Carr - LV/6 - $13

Many will have Carr, but not seeing Wilson much, taking a chance he’s not as washed up as a lot of people seem to think, and may just tear it up.

RB - Saquon Barkley - NYG/9 - $26
RB - Cordarrelle Patterson - ATL/14 - $18
RB - Dameon Pierce - HOU/6 - $10
RB - Eno Benjamin - ARI/13 - $6
RB - Jeff Wilson - SF/9 - $3
RB - Zack Moss - BUF/7 - $3

Hoping for a decent mix of weekly starts and injury upside. Had Javonte Williams for a long time, but ultimately didn’t feel comfortable with his split with Gordon, and swapping him out opened Russell W as a QB option.

WR - Mike Evans - TB/11 - $25
WR - Courtland Sutton - DEN/9 - $19
WR - Amon-Ra St. Brown - DET/6 - $17
WR - Allen Lazard - GB/14 - $12
WR - Skyy Moore - KC/8 - $9
WR - George Pickens - PIT/9 - $6
WR - Isaiah McKenzie - BUF/7 - $6

The group I kept swapping around the most, I know a lot have Sutton, but if that Wilson-Sutton connection doesn’t materialize, could be my downfall.

TE - Travis Kelce - KC/8 - $30
TE - Dawson Knox - BUF/7 - $14

For a long time had 3 mid-tier TEs, but ultimately felt better with Kelce + 1.

PK - Rodrigo Blankenship - IND/14 - $3
PK - Kaimi Fairbairn - HOU/6 - $3
PK - Greg Zuerlein - NYJ/10 - $3
TD - Minnesota Vikings - MIN/7 - $3
TD - Arizona Cardinals - ARI/13 - $3

Wanted 3 K to lessen injury risk, but felt fine with 2 Ds.
