Some brave souls leaning into TE premium scoring

24 roster Kittle and McBride
10 Bowers and Kittle
18 Bowers and McBride (both week 8 bye)
Zero teams with all three

I see some teams with 2 TEs only. Bold strategy for a contest where TE score 1.5 PPR, and you can start up to 3.

your post got me curious....I don't have this, but there are 34 teams with both Kittle and Engram. I expect that to be a lethal TE combo this year.

I thought Engram was going to be lethal last year... got burnt, refused to roster him again. As a Falcons fan, I also only let Pitts disappoint me once, he will never be on my teams ever again, haha!

(Also listed by my board name “Joey”)

 

[joey]

Querier should be running in a few minutes.

Thanks for this.

You probably already know but, just in case….the names aren’t fully alphabetical, which makes it super hard to find your players in the querier. Looks like they’re listed in a few “groups” of alphabetic players, listing a subset alphabetically, then starting at A again for another subset of players, and so on.

I imagine you’re working on this issue already so Thansk in advance

That confused me at first too, but once I realized they were alphabetical by position, it wasn't a problem.

Appears they are sorted by position then alpha by name. Nice tweak

Example: All the RB are grouped together which is nice.
I’d prefer the K and D be pushed to the end. Maybe list QB then RB then WR TE K D.

 

[BassNBrew]

As always, checking my top 5 players and I'm the only one that has that combo. That's good, right?

Not really. Unless your top 5 are the 5 most expensive, you are more likely to have the right power ball numbers than have someone match your top 5.

Rooster 102950 is mine.

[QuizGuy66]

So LaPorta is my least-owned player at 253. Don't have any true rare rare guys this year.

Only rooster with the combo of LaPorta/Warren/Taylor at the position.

Keep posting your 6 digit team numbers please. I am flying at the moment and won’t be able to verify all teams until later, possibly tomorrow.

Well only me and 23 kicker guy has Jackson,Jones and Chubba. Don't know if that's good or bad.

So you are as high as 23 Kicker Guy?

 

[chocula]

at one point I had the idea that LLMs might be able to make things a bit easier when juggling lineups. I gave ChatGPT a list of players and asked for the bye week distribution. Later tried the same with Claude. Both were completely unable to do what I thought would be a very simple request. Just thought that was surprising.

Should have each one pick a team and tracked them to see which one picked better

Looks like these 5 teams assumed the spending limit was $200.

If I'm reading it right it looks like I'm going to be one of the guys this season. I've got 16 wrs it looks like that's the most rostered. I wasn't trying to come up with a gadget team. I actually like this one.

Thing is probably should have shelved a couple of those 2 dollar WRs and picked up a 2nd D.

Depends on how many kickers Rusty has.

Joe made this offer the other day:

New Bonus for this year:

Post your final lineup here by Tuesday night 9/2 at 11:59 PM ET. And if that exact lineup finishes in the top 250 spots, you'll earn a badge on your forum avatar here that you're a top finisher in the Contest for 2025.

@TheWinz has graciously offered to track everything again.

See if you can keep yourself from tinkering after the deadline above. And remember, your actual submission has to mirror the last one you post in here before the deadline.

In a forum where guys used to brag about how low their member number was, a badge saying you were one of the top losers in a contest is a big thing.

My only non rookie TE is Darren Waller who I think may actually still be retired but the Dolphins don't know yet.
