Completely changed things with a few more looks at it.

QB - Brock Purdy - SF/9 - $18
QB - Jared Goff - DET/5 - $18
RB - Josh Jacobs - GB/10 - $23
RB - Gus Edwards - LAC/5 - $14
RB - Brian Robinson Jr. - WAS/14 - $13
RB - Chase Brown - CIN/12 - $13
RB - Jaylen Wright - MIA/6 - $7
WR - DK Metcalf - SEA/10 - $21
WR - Malik Nabers - NYG/11 - $19
WR - Rashee Rice - KC/6 - $13
WR - Darnell Mooney - ATL/12 - $11
WR - Jameson Williams - DET/5 - $10
TE - Trey McBride - ARI/11 - $24
TE - Brock Bowers - LV/10 - $14
TE - Taysom Hill - NO/12 - $8
TE - Ben Sinnott - WAS/14 - $6
PK - Joshua Karty - LAR/6 - $3
PK - Nick Folk - TEN/5 - $3
PK - Cam Little - JAX/12 - $3
TD - Green Bay Packers - GB/10 - $3
TD - Los Angeles Chargers - LAC/5 - $3
TD - Washington Commanders - WAS/14 - $3

Don't know about Jacobs there, might play around with the RB1 spot. Rest of RBs remain the same.

Needed to find a way to get DK on the team. I think he goes off this season big. Rest remain the same.

Big shake up at TE... might be a mistake, but with the Dotson trade, Sinnot could become a huge part of this offense. Taysom is also getting a lot of praise and usage and being able to use him at TE seems like it really could work out in best ball. Bowers might give that late season push that's needed to win the thing during the playoffs.

@TheWinz @BassNBrew @msudaisy26 Thoughts on the changes?

For what its worth, I was also seeing the buzz around Taysom and considered it. But the news is that he's being used more at fullback and tailback, not at TE. Given that the scoring for this contest rewards TEs for receptions (1.5ppr), I'm not sure how well his increased usage at fullback will translate in this contest. I still might consider him though.

In 2020, Taysom caught 8 passes, and would've scored 189.9 contest points, and that would've made him contest TE7
In 2021, Taysom caught 4 passes for 52 scoreless yards, and would've scored 146.5 contest points, good enough for TE21
In 2022, Taysom caught a grand total of 9 passes, and would've scored 156.7 contest points. That would've made him TE15
In 2023, Taysom caught a career best 33, and would've scored 164.85 contest points, making him contest TE13
In 2024, Taysom is priced as TE23

 

[(HULK)]

The nice thing about Taysom is that he's spiky in output, which makes him a fun little piece in a bestball contest.

Strange thing this year, I usually am a big roster guy, and I keep landing on 23 and 24 player rosters. I just see a lot of the value in the $10-$15 range, moreso than the cheap range. Haven't felt that way about my options over the past several years of this contest.

Going to swing for the fence and hit up my 18-player team again:

QB - Anthony Richardson - IND/14 - $19
QB - Caleb Williams - CHI/7 - $16
RB - Isiah Pacheco - KC/6 - $25
RB - Kenneth Walker III - SEA/10 - $20
RB - Najee Harris - PIT/9 - $17

PK - Joshua Karty - LAR/6 - $3
TD - Atlanta Falcons - ATL/12 - $3
TD - Los Angeles Chargers - LAC/5 - $3

 

[Irelad]

I think this is too risky for me, but came up with this rather aggressive 18-player team. Think I could survive the week 5 cut with this?

QB - Jared Goff - DET/5 - $18
RB - Christian McCaffrey - SF/9 - $37
RB - Gus Edwards - LAC/5 - $14

You know I've always said that there is a Beatle song for every occasion. After listening to Strawberry Fields Forever I realized if you replace Strawberry Fields with Subscriber's Contest they were talking about what happens when you become emerged in the madness of the subscribers contest. Man they were a head of their time.

Have you ever looked at a team and thought, why did they only use $225, then you add it up and it comes to $250?

Like last year when I made a great team of 24ish players with a bunch or studs and thought how is this possible? I tried to hit submit and it wouldn't take the team. I was so upset, then after looking over the roster I realized I completely skipper over the tight end section and didn't roster a single one.

Strange issue with the contest. When I log into the website and look at my entry on my computer, I see my entry from a couple of days ago. When I log into my ipad, I see the entry I updated earlier tonight.

On my computer, I deleted my history and tried different web browsers (Brave then Firefox) and they all show the same lineup from a couple of days ago. I can view my computer and ipad at the same time and the entries are different.

I copied my entry using my computer then copied my entry from my ipad and posted them here and you can see they are different.

I realize I need to ensure the players I want are the ones I submit, but thought this was extremely weird.

[bamabuddha]

I don't see a lot of teams opting for Nick Chubb. He seems like good value if he returns in week 5, and probably more likely great value if he returns earlier. Why does his temperature feel so cool in this contest? What do you think is giving people pause, his projected workload or his inability to return to form following injury?

Yeah, I think just the "unknown"

With you, he could be good value but what if he has lost a step or offense not clicking as well etc….i have had him in some of my lineups changes but currently not on him

 

[KingPrawn]

Pricing is so tough this year (don't we say that every year?). I just am not seeing any real cheap bargains. Every iteration I've come up with (and there have been MANY) I get to 21-22 players max.

@Joe Bryant

Are you going to do the side bet challenge from last two years? Please….

It was:

"Post your final lineup by the Monday night before the season starts (9/2/I think) at 11:59 PM ET. And if that last, exact lineup finishes in the top 250 spots, Joe Bryant will throw in an additional $100 on top of whatever prize you win.

I need one of you folks to volunteer to be judge on this and let me know who wins and who I need to pay."


TheWinz has been "that guy" to track it but obviously if he not interested I am sure someone will volunteer.

If Joe offers, I will track it again. Last year I chickened out and changed my roster after Joe's deadline, and wasn't even eligible for the contest I was tracking! If Joe offers again, I will only change my roster if a major injury occurs at the last second.

I would summarize and say there are many value plays at WR...but only a select few at RB and TE.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I think I'm locked in.

And probably have the same 25 players as everyone else.

 

[rustycolts]

What really stinks is when you think you have finally figured out the ultimate team.

Then you add up what will probably be your starters averages and it comes to only 116 points.

Won't do it, but the all $15 and under team isn't that bad -

Dang it.

I had my roster set. 27 players. Biggest ever, I was super confident in it.

Then @rustycolts had to go and say this:

Then you add up what will probably be your starters averages and it comes to only 116 points.

And got me to thinking I didn’t have enough firepower. And now I’m down to a tidy 23.

Yep. My optimal teams have been in the 20/21 range. I love what I can do with 18, but the extra 2-3 players is for longevity and possible injuries.

Too many.

Why do you think tooo many?

sweet spot based on past historical data seems to be "more is better"

The trick is to only take good players.

Good luck.

 

[chocula]

Everyone must be making tons of adjustments as the chat is pretty slow lately. I was hoping some of my drafts would help me decide, but instead end up with too many options

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I made another change tonight.

I keep deleting between 1 elite & 1 upside QB, or 2 middle of the road QB.

I think I’ve landed on the former.

But tomorrow is another day.

I have looked around and should know this - but I don't.

Is this PPR? and what is the starting best ball line up - 1QB/2RB/2WR/1TE/1PK/1DEF?

Contest Rules
There will be no draft. A subscriber simply chooses a team from the pre-determined values. Roster selection can be changed until the deadline passes (11:59pm (ET) Wednesday, September 4th) at which point it will be frozen. No roster moves are permitted once the contest starts.
Each team will select at least 18 and no more than 30 players, consisting of quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, kickers and defenses. Each team must select at least 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 PK and 1 Def/ST.
Each selection has a different cap value, but all teams must remain at or under the $250 cap. Note: Even though the software should show you if you are within the cap, it is your responsibility to ensure you have a team that is valued at $250 or less. Teams that have spent more than the $250 will be disqualified in week 1.
Players not listed on the entry form are not available.
Each submission is tied in with your login so you can edit and tweak all the way until 11:59pm ET September 4th. Your last submission will be your final roster. Note that if your last submission is an illegal roster (over the cap, too many players, not enough players, etc), then you will not have an entry in the contest, even if you had previously submitted a legal entry.
There are multiple Williams, Jones, Brown's, etc in the league. Each player is identified by name, position and team on the entry form. Absolutely no consideration can be given after the fact to mistakes caused by name confusion.
Each week, your top QB, top 2 RBs, top 2 WRs, top TE, top 2 flex (either RB, WR, or TE), top PK and top Def/ST will count towards your weekly total. This is a best-ball style competition. You do not have to select who will play. You will automatically receive the maximum score based on your roster each week.
In weeks 1--14, this is a survivor style competition, with a fixed percentage of the field being cut each week:
Week 1: the lowest-scoring 10% of the field will be cut.
Week 2: the lowest-scoring 10% of the field will be cut.
Week 3: the lowest-scoring 10% of the field will be cut.
Week 4: the lowest-scoring 20% of the field will be cut.
Week 5: the lowest-scoring 20% of the field will be cut.
Week 6: the lowest-scoring 20% of the field will be cut.
Week 7: the lowest-scoring 20% of the field will be cut.
Week 8: the lowest-scoring 30% of the field will be cut.
Week 9: the lowest-scoring 30% of the field will be cut.
Week 10: the lowest-scoring 30% of the field will be cut.
Week 11: the lowest-scoring 30% of the field will be cut.
Week 12: the lowest-scoring 30% of the field will be cut.
Week 13: the lowest-scoring 40% of the field will be cut.
Week 14: the lowest-scoring 40% of the field will be cut.
Weeks 15--17: remaining participants qualify for prizes based on the sum of their scores in these three weeks (see below)
In weeks 1--14, the cut is based on scores from the current week only. Scores reset each week.

Specifically, the cut will be determined as in the following example. Suppose it is week 7 and there are 2,394 entries at the beginning of the week. Because the cut percentage is 20% for that week, 2394 will be multiplied by 0.80 and the resulting number, if not an integer, will be rounded UP to the next greatest integer. In this case, 2394 * 0.8 = 1915.2. We round up to 1916. The entry with the 1916th-highest score, and all entries with an equal or greater score, will move to the next round.
FBG staff members may enter the contest and will appear in the standings, but staff entries are not eligible to win prizes, are clearly marked as such in the standings, and are not counted in the total number of entries (2,394 in the example above) for the purposes of determining the elimination line.

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.).
Kicker Scoring (PK)

• Made FG = 3 points for FGs 30 yards and lower plus 0.1 points for every yard over 30.
  • Example: a 22-yard FG would be worth 3 points
  • Example: a 29-yard FG would be worth 3 points
  • Example: a 31-yard FG would be worth 3.1 points
  • Example: a 45-yard FG would be worth 4.5 points
• PAT Made = 1 point

For players listed as PK on the contest form, no points will be awarded for anything other than field goals and PAT. In the event of a discprepancy among stat providers on field goal length, the "Scoring Summary" section of the nfl.com boxscore is deemed to be official. The nfl.com player page game log will be the official source for PAT.

Def/ST Scoring (Def/ST)

• Sack = 1 point
• Turnover by the opposing team = 2 points
• Defensive/ST TD = 6 points

For the purposes of clarity, we declare a Defensive/ST TD to be any TD that is not a rushing or a passing TD (This will very occasionally INCLUDE a fumble recovery TD by an offensive player, and it might theoretically EXCLUDE a passing or rushing TD that happens on a special teams play. So be it.) A Turnover is defined to be a fumble lost or an interception. For all of the above stats, we will refer to the nfl.com boxscore for the game (the team stats section). For entities listed on the contest form as Defenses, no points will be awarded for any stats other than those listed above.

---

If you believe there is an error in the scoring, please report it via the FBG help desk, and include as much detail and documentation as you can in your report.
Footballguys will make a good-faith effort to correct any scoring errors we become aware of, but all scoring for a given week is final and official at kickoff of the first game of the following week, unless a note on the standings page indicates otherwise.
In the event that any NFL games are cancelled, suspended, or otherwise rescheduled, Footballguys' resolution of the situation will be announced on the standings page, and will be guided, to the extent possible, by the following principles: (1) In weeks 1--14, the scoring for that week should be finalized before the first game of the following week; and (2) If it doesn't contradict the above, a game will be counted in whatever week the NFL counts it in.
Footballguys has discretion to make appropriate modifications to these rules during the contest if, in Footballguys' sole judgment, common sense and fairness require it. Decisions made by footballguys about rules modifications are final.

---

Prizes will be awarded as follows:
The contest participants who were not previously eliminated will be ordered, from highest to lowest, by the sum of their scores for weeks 15, 16, and 17.


1st place: $10,000 + a $5,000 donation in your name to a food bank in the city of your choice.
2nd place: $5,000
3rd place: $2,000
4th place: $1,000
5th place: $600
6th place: $300
7th place: $100
8th--225th* place: One year Footballguys PRO level Premium Subscription

* - if fewer than 225 participants remain after week 14, then prizes will be awarded to eliminated participants according to highest score in week 14. If prizes are still unawarded after that, then highest score in week 13, and so on.
One final bit of fine print about prizes: any legal entry submitted by a person who had an annual subscription at the time of entry will be a live entry in the contest, and will therefore potentially affect cut lines throughout the contest. At the end of the contest, we will verify that prize winners did indeed hold an annual subscription for the entire duration of the contest. If one of the prize winners did not, then that entry will be declared ineligible and all other eligible entries will move up a spot (e.g., if the 2nd-place finisher is ineligible, then the 3rd place finisher moves up to 2nd place, the 4th place finisher moves to 3rd, and so on).

MUCHO GRACIAS Brew!

With all the cuts and with preseason being done, any notable new names that are jumping out as screaming values that should be rostered?

(after reading that way under 1% of entries are on these boards, I feel that it's probably more helpful than threatening if we share here... doesn't really hurt your chances at all)

Speak up!

Jerome Ford has my eye. He is $1 less than his teammate who is guaranteed to miss a minimum of 4 games, and likely more. Sure, it's not a great idea to roster first half players, but who's to say Chubb will come back at all? D'Onta Foreman made me think twice, because he seems to show up on teams and takes a decent chunk of touches. But Foreman hasn't stayed healthy this preseason, and right now, last season's RB touch leader for CLE is currently the only healthy RB they have. Ford was RB14 in the contest last year, and is currently priced as RB41.

Well, they just terminated Foreman's contract. Maybe they plan to re-sign him, but if not, then Ford for sure could be great value.

Like you said though, first half players scare me as they could be worth nothing come playoff time when it really matters.

Going the opposite direction, earlier I had Rashee Rice on most of my teams. I know the Chiefs dropped Kadarius Toney, and Rice isn't likely to be suspended this year, but the addition of Juju Smith-Schuster is making me think that Rice might not be as much of a value anymore.

Don't think that. Juju is trash, and will just be taking the Toney roll. a $13 player who is the WR1 on a pass heavy team is one of the biggest no brainers of all time. That said, it sucks because he will probably be on the majority of rosters so it doesn't give you that advantage, but to not have him seems like you're putting yourself at a massive DISADVANTAGE.

 

[(HULK)]

Dyami Brown would be, but he wasn't there.

I think they went too light on the WRs this year, not enough cheap flyer options.

That's fair. Granted, the top target is still Kelce, so its more like WR2, but I hear what you are saying. Maybe I'm reading too much into the Xavier Worthy hype, Andy Reid comparing Worthy to DeSean Jackson, just was making Rice feel like less of a no-brainer to me.

 

[Deamon]

Mason isn't in the contest, would have been an easy add with the Elijah news.

Who is the better $2 spend, Guerendo or Juszczyk?

Have we figured out which Chiefs WR will emerge as their #1 this season or will it be Kelce again as always?
