Every best ball ranking i have looked at has Fields as a top 10 QB. Im kinda surprised there aren't that many submissions with him on the rooster. Agreed that it is a risk though.

Not saying he doesn’t have upside. His floor is somewhat less than desirable.

 

[H8fulHuck]

QB - Justin Fields - NYJ/9 - $15

I clearly need to spend more time on the board. I'm not sure why Fields gets the grimace. Dammit, now I want that Grimace shake, and I bet it's not available now.

Grimace is on their faces missing out on an incredible value at QB.

Grimace is on their faces missing out on an incredible value at QB.

I traded him away in both of the leagues I had shares.

No ragrets

 

[J Rod]

One small change.

With 3 QB I don’t mind rolling the dice on Fields. As your QB 2 he’s… risky.

all it takes is a coaching staff that's willing to play to his strengths, and to run the air out of the ball. he needs 6-8 designed runs per game and play action under center, with very limited shots downfield. 35-40 rush attempts per game not including his designed runs. its non-trivial figuring out if the coaching staff will have the discipline though.

Which came first? The coaching staff or the QB?

Ah, yes. Yeah, I realize I'm taking a risk there, which is the opposite of my normal strategy (big roster, coverage everywhere). I had 3 QBs in most of my builds, but decided I wanted one elite QB; the dice have been rolled.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

the dice have been rolled

I respect it.

Strategery - Three top guys at QB,RB, and WR. Three different bye weeks. A couple of mid range guys and a bunch of lottery picks. Throw ‘em against the wall and see what sticks. Went an extra buck on K and D/ST because my own rankings are where Boswell and the Chiefs should cost a couple of bucks more.

Had two QBs, but it made me nervous, so I’m taking three and betting against Stafford’s back. My roster construction (no matter how I try to get away from it) always winds up 3QBs, 5RBs, 6WRs, 3TEs, 3PKs and 3D/ST’s.).

I finished sixth last year, ending up in the money for the first time since this contest started. So I’m certainly not proclaiming this to be gospel.

I’m just a boy. In front of a contest, asking it to love him.

Decided to dump long-shot Monangai, and use the proceeds to turn Omarion Hampton into Chase Brown. I'm a Bengals homer, but I believe Brown is set up for a truly special season.
Also shuffled my PKs and TDs to smooth out bye weeks, and move them earlier in the season when possible.

Went back and forth on Fields. He is a perfect QB2 in this contest. Herbert also underpriced at $15. Ended up going with Rodgers + Hopkins for $15 instead.

 

[QuizGuy66]

I made a few changes around the edges.

I think I improved with them though. Even though it means I added a Steeler (yuck).

just to make some of you all paranoid, Gabe Davis has rejoined the Bills.

Hey, if I can live with Brown on my team, you can live with Boswell on yours. At least we avoided Ravens.....oh, wait.....

golden value handcuffs. if you don't take him you have to spend $10-12 for equivalent anticipated production....AND those $10-12 options have their own risk too. I'm tempted to move on from him just out of spite.

Yes! Don't know exactly when it will launch. Could be for Week 1 or Week 2. I need FBG to post the data files with all the submitted teams and then it's some work to get all that stuff into my system. I don't recall exactly when it's typically posted by them

Thank you for all you do with the live scoring. It adds so much to the contest and we all owe you a debt of gratitude.

The contest locks around midnight tonight. After the processing is complete at FootballGuys, they will post the list all the participant's rosters sometime tomorrow morning. When we look at that list, we can find our team and then see the "TEAM NUMBER" assigned to it by FootballGuys. That was the number you used to identify each of our teams on your website. But I have no idea how you link those numbers to the scoring database that gets updated live on game days.

After combing through the entire thread, here are all the valid submissions qualifying for a badge. Once again, I remind you, DO NOT EDIT the post I am referring to for your team. If you do edit the post, I will look back in time to see if you have an earlier qualifying submission and use that.

Now, the fun begins. How many of you can run with what you got? You know you're second guessing yourself - didn't you notice that bye week conflict?
I will post the complete list of non-tinkerers after the contest closes.

Was afraid my 3am was too late no badge for me.

@barackdhouse - 27 Aug, 4:00pm

just curious what is the significance of the black font for me and another one up there?

 

[roarlions]

After lots of tinkering I'm rolling with this team

QB - Patrick Mahomes - KC/10 - $20
QB - Kyler Murray - ARI/8 - $17
RB - Derrick Henry - BAL/7 - $31
RB - TreVeyon Henderson - NE/14 - $18
RB - Jaylen Warren - PIT/5 - $17
RB - Tank Bigsby - JAX/8 - $12
RB - Jacory Croskey-Merritt - WAS/12 - $6
WR - Justin Jefferson - MIN/6 - $35
WR - Rome Odunze - CHI/5 - $15
WR - Emeka Egbuka - TB/9 - $10
WR - Cooper Kupp - SEA/8 - $10
WR - Keenan Allen - LAC/12 - $5
TE - Evan Engram - DEN/12 - $16
TE - Jake Ferguson - DAL/10 - $15
PK - Evan McPherson - CIN/10 - $4
PK - Tyler Loop - BAL/7 - $4
PK - Chris Boswell - PIT/5 - $4
TD - Pittsburgh Steelers - PIT/5 - $6
TD - New York Jets - NYJ/9 - $4

Total value: 249

I usually go with more than 20 players but I usually don't make it to the playoffs so I decided to go with a slightly smaller roster this time. I really focused on having early byes and not having too many players with the same bye week. My smaller roster will be more affected if injuries occur so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[barackdhouse]

Just a skosh of tinkering here:

QB - Josh Allen - BUF/7 - $26

RB - Jaydon Blue - DAL/10 - $11
RB - Bhayshul Tuten - JAX/8 - $8
RB - Jacory Croskey-Merritt - WAS/12 - $6
RB - Woody Marks - HOU/6 - $5
RB - Tahj Brooks - CIN/10 - $4
RB - Kyle Monangai - CHI/5 - $4
WR - DK Metcalf - PIT/5 - $17
WR - Keon Coleman - BUF/7 - $12
WR - Matthew Golden - GB/5 - $12

TD - New Orleans Saints - NO/11 - $3
TD - Jacksonville Jaguars - JAX/8 - $3

Now, the fun begins. How many of you can run with what you got? You know you're second guessing yourself -

I tinkered this morning. But then checked Joe’s post and went back to the one I posted. Figure tinkering might be a mistake, or not.

No badge for me either

I noticed that I had made a mistake on my entry, failing to include one of the team defenses that I had updated on my spreadsheet.
So I had to make an edit after the deadline.

But no big deal. I'm still in the contest, just not in contention for whatever an "avatar badge" is.

I'll still be here shooting the bull every week with the rest of you guys, as we root for each other to survive to the end

 

[Birdie048]

Looking at my submission now that I have time (and too late to change it) ....

Potential Downfall Bye week issues Week 5 & Week 10 with 4 out on each
Week 5 concern is 2 of 5 WR on bye so an Injury would really hinder my opportunity to advance
Week 10 Concern QB1, RB 1 & TE2 all out

Count	Position	% Budget
2	QB	12%
8	RB	9%
5	WR	14%
3	TE	12%
2	PK	3%
1	Def	2%

Huh? I didn't change the font or color when typing that post. Najee - is that you?

It's not too late to change it, unless you love badges

I see the black fonts from time to time on this board in copy/pasted text. I think the light/dark mode font colors get confused. Guessing though…
