In case anyone was curious, we will have 5,004 teams competing in this year's Footballguys Bowl!

Only one of them will win.

And that will be from League 004 ... aka Birdie takes it all.

Well,, considering Rate My Team says Bob Harris was only able to draft the 9th best team in League 004, I'd say you're half right, which is way more than we can say about @Joey Wright

Man, I thought I rocked my draft... Graded "B-" (Boom or Bust)
I am Ranked #11 of 12! Really?
Only @barackdhouse did worse?
He has Jayden Daniels, King Henry & Brock Bowers and rated "C+"?
I call software fraud... Didn't @rzrback77 write this software? LOL
All in fun!

Drafted from the 8 or 9 slot? (I'm guessing by the Nabers pick in the 1st round). Nice team.

I'd personally draft JameS Cook as my RB1 instead of his step-brother Jame Cook, but to each his own ;)

Probably thinks it's better if he kicks his S off the team.

well I just had to search for awhile to find this now that it is unpinned... it seems trading is turned on in my league 0004

This is the Bowl there shouldn't be trading. I don't know who has the commissioner privileges in our Sleeper league specifically... but it seems like it should be turned off. Or are we just going with the honor system here?

Last year it was honor system and if you traded you got the boot.

Sadly, Sleeper does not allow us to turn off the trades. I've reversed more than I care to mention. We had it as a checkbox when filling out the form that people agree to the rules, but next year I think I'll need to administer a quiz.

LOL. Next year we likely need to have someting in all caps that is directly stating, "I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE NO TRADES ALLOWED".

We'll still have lots that don't read it. But it'll help some maybe.

Posting it in the message boards ( in each Sleeper league chat room) in ALL CAPS each of the first 3 weeks should get the message across. Imho

He took it easy on you. Dreamers hung 167.65 plus Kyle Pitts on me this week. I think that’s him trying to give me a glimmer of hope before landing a dirt nap dagger. Good night moon.

League 0004.

Got the 4 spot. Don't love it. Would have liked the back end where there's a chance of going CMC/Achane or CMC/Jacobs or Achane/Jacobs. Figured I want Lamb over CMC but if Lamb and Chase both go, I'll take CMC. I'm Ricky Bobby with the contest format. If you don't have the potential to blow up the last few weeks you may as well not play. I knew I would wait LONG on QB given how late they went in the other leagues plus the value I see in Purdy and Love. And possibly a Tua stack for playoff time or something since he seems to go super late. Decided to do something a little weird at DEF, where I staunchly stream and have for a decade but found it very annoying last season in this deeeeep format.

2 minutes is WAY too long a timer after 10 rounds. Last 10 should be 1 minute good lord. That took forever. Allowed me to write this up as we went along though LOL.

Round 1: CeeDee Lamb - part of the plan. I dreamed maybe we went 3 RB to start and I got Chase but knew Lamb was likely

Round 2: Drake London - Was hoping for Jacobs (he made it back a couple times) but he went and then as London started to fall I got excited. Like him a lot - Start 3 WR, 2 flex, full PPR - these guys are heavy duty valuable

Round 3: James Cook - Considered Allen but he went a pick before. Considered Cook, Hampton, Lamar, and Tyreek. Decided RB went heavy here so I should grab my last elite-ish guy in James Cook.

Round 4: Tyreek Hill - he fell! Easy choice

Round 5: RJ Harvey - another guy where I had to take him now or never, but debated with Tet for a little bit. Turns out I maybe should have taken Pearsall here somehow.........

Round 6: Rashee Rice - he wasn't available in any of the first leagues or any mocks I did here. I had Pearsall pegged to be the earliest of any of the SP leagues, but some lunatic (damn you) took him 6.04, a full round ahead of any other ADP. Damn it

Round 7: JK Dobbins - easy choice again, last chance to grab him with other guys obviously having looked at the other leagues. Hopefully to jumping for "my guys" a few are doing means some value falls to me

Round 8: Zach Charbonnet - Scoresman made this one super easy on me as it was him or Andrews, and I was thinking Charb could fall back but Andrews never would. Then he took the TE so that was that. Really high contingency value and standalone value too. Probably the 40% side of timeshare.

Round 9: Keon Coleman - I had him plugged in here the entire draft. Especially knowing guys between my 9th and 10th picks have seen my model loves Coleman this year.

Round 10: Brock Purdy - This was highlighted as my last chance at Purdy, though I also like Jordan Love as a backup. After the 1.01 took a TE but no QB I figured I risk him doubling up and I risk
the 2nd slot doubling up if i don't take one here. I figured now if Love or Tue or Penix fall very far I'll snag as a backup for value/stack.

Round 11: Kyle Pitts - With London in tow, I decided maybe stacking a little with Pitts could be worth it. I don't really believe in the pick that much, but I waited a LOOOOOONG time on TE so you get what you get. With how the draft fell I figured Kincaid would come back to me but Pitts wouldn't and tried to scoop max value. Spoiler alert...two picks later to the guy with Njoku. He went 11.12, 14.09, and 15.10 in the last three. Oh well. Would have taken Kincaid in hindsight. No TEs in the next 2+ rounds went either. ugh.

Round 12: Woody Marks - In this round, every single "hey some god contingent value in these backfields" guys got taken one after another - Braelon Allen, Dylan Sampson, Ray Davis, ollie Gordon...decimated my queue. Woody Marks remained as i guy i think may catch a lot of balls as standalone value too.

Round 13: Broncos DEF - It was here I decided maybe I should take like 3-4 defenses. Last year it was really hard to play the wire for them in a league of fairly active owners all trying to do the smart thing. So zig when everyone zags. I think maybe the first time I've ever taken a defense first in a draft. Figured it might spark a couple others and lead to some value falling back anyway.

Round 14: 49ers DEF - let's keep trying this plan and see what happens

Round 15: Jordan Love - felt like I was tempting fate to keep forgoing a 2nd QB, as most guys behind me have 2 shots at theirs and this is the range they seemed to start going. (14-16th in the other 3 drafts) plus the dominator is yelling for the 4th round in a row to take one so I'm sure others have it up on a screen too. Lo and behold 3 more QBs immediately followed in the next 4 picks.

Round 16: Texans DEF - I mean it, may as well try it. Looking for good teams with good schedules.

Round 17: Kyle Williams - all upside here. i think the Pats D falls more (love those Jets matchups + generally easy schedule) and with Diggs coming off ACL and Douglas a slot only guy, this is someone who I hope has a second half or final third of the season breakout / goes on a run / etc.

Round 18: Patriots DEF - Planned to take the Pats here, with darts remaining to toss at QJ, Ray Ray McCloud, maybe grab Hunter Henry as a safe TE since someone took Strange before my last pick. Henry got taken. Brashard Smith got taken. Mason Taylor got taken. Lots of upside went away here. We'll see if I regret losing an arrow or two from the quiver earlier with my zig zag defense plan. I kind of think I'd do it again but you never know.

Round 19: Ray-Ray McCloud - I like Mooney too, but he went ahead of where I'd hoped he would fall. So maybe he reinjures shoulder or something. Penix should be slinging it all over, so have a few shots at that offense doesn't feel bad to me.

Round 20: Theo Johnson - Figured I would take currently injured Likely here when everyone seemed done at TE. Then Mr Harris took him. Dang it. Packers get Browns week 3 baby. 5 defenses is huge overkill even with my plan so I went for an upside TE in Theo who finished last year on a high note.

Just 4 defenses? Too thin at that position. UN-championship!!
Click to expand...
Trying something new! Streaming was extremely painful last year and did not work for me. If it turns out Mason Taylor and Quentin Johnston were the keys to my season and I missed out, so be it. I'll have learned this was a silly idea.
Click to expand...
Aside from the thin roster at other positions, I think we've discovered the other flaw in this approach: as random as defensive scoring is and with 4 Ds to choose from, you only have about a 20-30% of picking the correct one to start each week, and a 40-50% chance that the one you pick gets outscored by your opponent's waiver wire streamer.
 
So, against my better judgement, (along with the fact that this is a free League, so why not experiment?) , I went "rainbow" through the first 4 rounds and took my favorite players available at the time to be at '1/1/1/1' and see where things went from there...

JJefferson, Jacobs, LJAx, Kittle

Hmm...well, getting Pickens in the 5th looks OK, but Ridley in the 6th and Tracy in the 7th needs to blossom...

My Kittle/Engram/Goedert non-TE premium platoon is performing exactly as it should be - well below expectations, mostly due to my insisting to swim against the stream, and damn the format...which, of course, is no way to win.

Gotta keep reminding myself, this a 'for fun' Team.

Great game, was hoping for a late Pitts TD and I just may have too many Chiefs in my lineup.

assumed pitts would get a 40 yard TD last night the way things were going. not supposed to sweat a week scoring that much unless it's playoff time. i do not look forward to seeing your team again. taking caffeine pills and eating coffee grounds long as i can. also moving out of elm street.
 
@Joey Wright is there going to be an overall standings page this year or is that later in the season. The fbg bowl page doesn't have a link - I thought there was one last week, but I'm getting old so it could just be my imagination...;). Thanks!

Good gravy! We have over 5000 teams in this event.

Props to everyone at FBG for pulling it off. That’s some serious coordination.

My team is a paper dragon at 214. Blake Bortles has to be the league MVP for me to be taken seriously. Jason from “the good place” and his ‘not a girl’ AI drafted the team for me.
