The most badass league. We all bought leather jackets and had them custom patched. @psychobillies robbed a liquor store this morning. Not for cash - he was after those sweet sweet FF mags.
And, allegedly, stole a Penthouse.

Dear Penthouse,
You won’t believe what happened at my league’s fantasy draft this year…

Sorry, FBG Bowl League ONE is already full

Not a fan of the FCFS waivers that benefit the person closest to their phone whenever breaking news hits.

In my opinion, it’s the worst thing about this tournament. It brings back FF several years. Really not a fan of this as I am not always easily available by my phone. It’s a big oversight.
Are all Sleeper leagues like this?
Ramblin Wreck
Footballguy
Yep. I see the two staffers pick first and second.

Agree entirely. I was shocked when I went to our FBG Bowl League 1 and could pick up Cooper on the news, but was expecting to have to put in a (small) waiver bid. Weird that the Home Leagues have all the players on waivers, but the FBG Bowl doesn’t. An oversight imho.

How many leagues total in the FBGs Bowl?
Didn't even notice this. Arguably the worst thing about fantasy football.

Been so busy I totally forgot about this
As I mentioned earlier, I had noticed that some folks in FBG Bowl Dedicated SP Leeg 02 made claims/drops after the draft. I'm not sure why between the draft and Wk.1 folks are permitted to do that. It really is irrelevant because at the start of week one it goes to blind bidding for players on waivers, not FCFS. Everyone begins with $100 of @Joey Wright 's cash. Can spend it up to the start of Wk.14 games. After that, rosters are locked for playoffs.
Also, been busy, not sure what news hit in the time since the draft.
Here is the DRAFT ROOM from League 0003

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.

Pretty happy with my League 4 team.
First 4 rounds - Saquon, Bucky, Tee, Devonta
Pretty happy with this. Even though this is 3 WR, the RB pool drops fast so it was nice being able to not worry about RB going into the middle rounds.
Middle Rounds - Tet McMillan, Travis Hunter, Jaylen Warren, Mark Andrews, Jordan Addison, Austin Ekeler, Drake Maye
Thrilled with my two rookie upside picks here. Could payoff huge or kill me! Drafted Warren because I'm not super high on Kaleb. Was shocked Andrews fell to me in the 8th round. Would take Addison in the 9th all day all week. I actually liked Ekeler even before Robinson was traded because he still gets passing game work. Drake Maye was an early pick, but wanted "my guy" here.
Late Rounds - Marvin Mims, Rico Dowdle, Guerrendo, Herbert, Eagles, Okonkwo, Rams, Pat Bryant, Jonnu Smith
Mainly dart throws. I dont usually draft two defenses, but noticed others have been in these leagues so I didnt want to rely solely on weekly streaming. Philly fell a bit so I grabbed them, and the Rams are purely because of early season schedule.
This appears to be a team that will either take it all or finish last. Lots of risks taken.

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.

I would rather see it like 1:30 in the first place but I think the timer should never be reduced in the later rounds. It may seem counterintuitive but I actually think those are the times it is *harder* to find your players and navigate and make selections. It's much simpler at the top of the draft as there isn't a ton of variance from ADP for a while. But I mean even 1 minute isn't bad. 2 is a lot.
nothing wrong with going two WRs to start in a PPR 3 WR with 2 Flex format
great value on Tyreek, I had almost snagged him but felt I was required to stack Terry with Daniels
One of my highest rostered players that I can't seem to stop drafting. But you stopped me today.

From the 9 spot.
I drafted 6 veterans in the first 6 rounds.
Henry, Bowers, Daniels, McLaurin, Flowers, Pearsall
Then I drafted 12 rookies in a row. That is crazy even by my standards.
Golden, K Johnson, Skattebo, Blue, Tuten, Sampson, Thornton, T Harris, Arroyo, T Brooks, J Lane, M Taylor
1 - Ok so at the 9 spot I can't pass up on King Henry. I like him better than the WRs in that range that have some question marks. I don't mind CMC there.
2 - Bowers - it isn't TE Premium but it's still PPR and he might be dominating the position for years to come and give a huge advantage in all formats. He should probably be going in the 1st round everywhere. I don't mind anyone using the same argument with McBride several picks later.
3 - Daniels - it is 6 points per passing TD and only -1 for INTs. That means QBs score a ton in this format. Ensuring I get one of the top running QBs was a priority. Would have also been happy with Hurts and more or less tossed a coin there. Waiting for Mahomes later is also one of my favorite values in all formats right now.
4 - McLaurin - he just signed he is one of my favorite players and I think he actually has a chip on his shoulder now. The stack combo is a no brainer. Hard for me to take him over a couple other WRs though.
5 - Flowers - value pick and we all need WRs. This guy is gonna have a crappy floor but can win weeks and might be part of the secret sauce in the playoffs. I like players that have the capability of putting up 40 points in a box score and I think he is one of those guys. Would have loved if Metcalf or Egbuka fell here.
6 - Pearsall - at some point here I was lost with ADP and my own tiers and the software for Sleeper and started trusting my gut. I still wanted to bang out at least one more WR around here and he is a screaming value right now. I at least have 3 startable WRs that can compete each week. For punting on the position in the first three rounds I could be worse off here.
7 - Golden - I think he takes over this 'muddy' WR corps in GB and starts balling out. The position is getting pretty thin in this region of the board but I love my 4 WRs that I feel comfortable throwing one into a Flex.
8 - Kaleb Johnson - bingo send me the ship it's over. I considered taking him in the 6th and he was regularly going early 5th even 4th in the early summer. He will likely be my starting RB2 most weeks until one or two of my backup rookie RBs hit big. This was probably my favorite value pick of the draft for me.
9 - Skattebo - should have stand alone value with PPR and goal line upside. Can take over backfield.
10 - Blue - should have stand alone value with PPR and goal line upside. Can take over backfield.
11 - Tuten - should have stand alone value with PPR and goal line upside. Can take over backfield.
12 - Sampson - should have stand alone value. Not sure how good he is as a receiver and I think Ford might be just unbelievably underpriced right now but it's possible Sampson is closer to a 1B situation than the three RBs I took in the previous three rounds.
13 - Thornton - need more WRs and his drum beat has been insane. Not sure what to make of Amari Cooper coming back but I'd like to roster this guy at least and see what happens.
14 - T Harris - Not sure what impact Keenan Allen is going to have, or the other rookie there that they're raving about but I like Harris
15 - Arroyo - that is only 9 rookies in a row at this point. And the drumbeat here is too much to ignore. Certainly needed a second TE at some point so should probably get started.
16 - Tahj Brooks - I think he is the direct handcuff to Chase Brown and may end up with standalone value. Needed at least one more upside RB and still don't feel great about my list but seemed like good value for him. Prefer Marks here.
17 - Jaylin Lane - word has been good, I have the stack with Terry and Daniels lets have fun.
18 - M Taylor - another rookie that's 12 now and this guy should be good I'm certainly hoping Fields can find his mojo.
19 - Cowboys (@Philly week 1)
20 - Jaguars (vs Carolina week 1)
and I never took another veteran
ok that was fun good luck all!

My team from last night's league 3. I had the 10 spot.
1.10 - WR Malik Nabers - Wanted to start with a WR in a 2RB/3WR league, but would've gladly taken CMC if he fell 3 more spots
2.3 - WR Brian Thomas Jr - Wasn't expecting to start with 2 WR's, but preferred him over remaining RB's
3.10 - WR Davante Adams - My choice was between Davante or Kamara, and looking at my RB corps, this may be the biggest mistake I made
4.3 - QB Lamar Jackson - 4th QB taken, but you'll see later why I should've went RB here
5.10 - RB Tony Pollard - This is what you get as your RB1 when you wait til the end of the 5th round. Still happy to land a guy who should be a volume hog.
6.3 - RB Aaron Jones - Does he have 1 more season left in him? I have to hope so.
7.10 - RB Travis Etienne - Reached about a full round here, but figured I would take the chance that one of the JAX RB's either takes the reigns or gets traded.
8.3 - TE David Njoku - Flacco will treat him as the WR2 and he should get a ton of targets
9.10 - WR Jauan Jennings - He went late 8th to late 9th in the other 3 drafts, so I guess I got him at ADP
10.3 - RB Tank Bigsby - I couldn't wait any longer to couple him with Travis Etienne. Happy to have both.
11.10 - WR Keenan Allen - Part homer pick, part bye week filler
12.3 - QB Dak Prescott - No way I let him fall to the 3 other teams without a QB yet. Had I known he'd still be there this late, I would've changed my entire draft up top.
13.10 - RB Jerome Ford - Should be startable early on, but lose touches as the season moves along
14.3 - RB Brian Robinson - Just a CMC injury away from being startable. I'll take that chance.
15.10 - TE Dalton Kincaid - Just a bye week filler, but does have TE1 capability
16.3 - RB Tahj Brooks - Don't know much about him, but heard good things
17.10 - TD San Francisco 49ers - They play the Saints in week 2, but had to take them first
18.3 - TD Arizona Cardinals - They play the Saints in week 1
19.10 - TD Seattle Seahawks - They play the Saints in week 3
20.3 - RB Devin Singletary - Had to scroll down a mile to find him, but he's the RB2 for the Giants, not Scattergories
I will churn the D's as the season moves on. I prefer matchups over trying to play set it and forget it at D. If you could play vs the Saints every week, you would certainly score more points than the #1 D. My other roster churning spots will probably be Tahj Brooks and Devin Singletary. If my RB's can step up, I like my team. That's a tough ask though.
1.10 - WR Malik Nabers - Wanted to start with a WR in a 2RB/3WR league, but would've gladly taken CMC if he fell 3 more spots
2.3 - WR Brian Thomas Jr - Wasn't expecting to start with 2 WR's, but preferred him over remaining RB's
3.10 - WR Davante Adams - My choice was between Davante or Kamara, and looking at my RB corps, this may be the biggest mistake I made
4.3 - QB Lamar Jackson - 4th QB taken, but you'll see later why I should've went RB here
5.10 - RB Tony Pollard - This is what you get as your RB1 when you wait til the end of the 5th round. Still happy to land a guy who should be a volume hog.
6.3 - RB Aaron Jones - Does he have 1 more season left in him? I have to hope so.
7.10 - RB Travis Etienne - Reached about a full round here, but figured I would take the chance that one of the JAX RB's either takes the reigns or gets traded.
8.3 - TE David Njoku - Flacco will treat him as the WR2 and he should get a ton of targets
9.10 - WR Jauan Jennings - He went late 8th to late 9th in the other 3 drafts, so I guess I got him at ADP
10.3 - RB Tank Bigsby - I couldn't wait any longer to couple him with Travis Etienne. Happy to have both.
11.10 - WR Keenan Allen - Part homer pick, part bye week filler
12.3 - QB Dak Prescott - No way I let him fall to the 3 other teams without a QB yet. Had I known he'd still be there this late, I would've changed my entire draft up top.
13.10 - RB Jerome Ford - Should be startable early on, but lose touches as the season moves along
14.3 - RB Brian Robinson - Just a CMC injury away from being startable. I'll take that chance.
15.10 - TE Dalton Kincaid - Just a bye week filler, but does have TE1 capability
16.3 - RB Tahj Brooks - Don't know much about him, but heard good things
17.10 - TD San Francisco 49ers - They play the Saints in week 2, but had to take them first
18.3 - TD Arizona Cardinals - They play the Saints in week 1
19.10 - TD Seattle Seahawks - They play the Saints in week 3
20.3 - RB Devin Singletary - Had to scroll down a mile to find him, but he's the RB2 for the Giants, not Scattergories

Winning (?) the first pick lottery in League 4:
1: Chase was the easy pick.
2/3: McConkey/K. Williams--so far, so good. Solid start at WR and a stable RB1
4/5: With RBs already getting thin, went with Conner. Then, a mini-disaster as scrolling the player list accidentally clicked Ekbuka. I guess it could have been worse, but definitely NOT who I wanted at 4.01
6/7: Thought about TE, but needed a #3 WR to replace Ekbuka, so went with Olave, then back to Jones as a RB3 since with only 3 TEs gone there were plenty still on the board
8/9: Shocked that between my 7th pick and my 8th pick 8 TEs got taken (including 2 teams taking their 2nd). Ferguson is my booby prize and White makes a decent RB4
10/11: QB time, took Goff as a safe but unexciting play, and Stevenson as a pretty good RB5
12/13: With "safe" Goff onboard, went with the upside of Williams at QB and just had to take Palmer
14/15: Austin at WR just might produce with Rodgers throwing, and Corum to back up Williams
16/17:Strange was the best of the mediocre TEs left. No reason Lawrence can't target him like he did Engram, right? Rodriguez may get the goal line work, so wh knows?
18.19: Johnston as meh bench strength and TB D mostly off an easy early schedule. I figure Instinctive has to start dropping some of those Ds sooner or later, right?
20: Nobody left really grabbed my attention, so take a shot with Ward. If he doesn't light it up early, he's an easy cut.

For reference, Egbuka went at 7.5, 7.6, and 7.9 in the other 3 drafts, so you only jumped the gun by about 2.5 rounds
and you got him at 5.1, not 4.1
Team rzrback77 from the 2nd slot. Not the best place to be when you plan on going WR heavy early.
1.2 Bijan Robinson - at least I got the correct Robinson. Here is hoping that the consensus is correct.
2.11 A. J. Brown - long time between picks. but satisfied with Brown here at WR 10
3, Jaxon Smith-Njigba - looking for lots of targets and receptions
4. Chuba Hubbard - Liked him between than WR choices and wanted to get at least two RB fairly early
5. Xavier Worthy - Thrilled to have my choice of Worthy and Jamo Williams, who I expected to go soon
6. Baker Mayfield - Came into this draft desiring Joe Burrow, but alas he was taken at QB2 in the third round. Baker was nice plan B
7. Jaylen Waddle - Just need for him and Tua to stay healthy
8. Tucker Kraft - I have been drafting him often this year and thankful he lasted past the wild TE run in rounds 7 & 8
9. Deebo Samuel - hoping for him also to remain healthy, think that he is a good fit with Daniels & McLauren
10. Quinshon Judkins - kept missing on RB targets and he was a hope and a prayer pick
11. Keenan Allen - I think that he was overlooked returning to the Chargers
12. Luther Burden - He destroyed my Hogs in college and hearing good things
13. Brian Robinson - Found a nice landing spot after being summarily dismissed from DC
14. Buffalo DST - solid defense that I did not mind going a bit early on
15. Arizona DST - for the week one match up and maybe longer as our league drafted DSTs like they were running out
16. Pat Freiermuth - Solid TE late for insurance
17. C. J. Stroud - Third year is the charm for nice bounce back for the Texans passing game
18- 20 Hunter, Mostert and Sanders were three possibilities for RB depth
Dad gum Bob Harris drafted Isaac TeSlaa who was targeted for my last pick.
Not my best effort, but think that I can contend here. Looking forward to the season.

Funny thing is, just after I poked fun at @Instinctive for his 4 Defense Strategy, I went over to Bowl League 1 and dropped Ray-Ray McCloud (2nd to last round draft pick) and grabbed SF D, so now I have 2 Defenses on my roster.
I’m half way to the genius of Instinctive!

Putting my trash talk hat on, there's really no other team in League 4 that I like as much as my own. In most competitive drafts, there's usually a team or two I really like, but all of you came really close to having great teams but ultimately made one or two picks I didn't like.
The only one that comes close for me is miqws, and that's dependent on whether or not Breece Hall gets traded to a contender. rzrback77 also comes close with a decent squad.
The two teams that started elite TE and QB could make some noise (that's a strategy I like in certain situations this year), but they waited too long to get their RB2s.

That's weird, I have the best team in league 0004. You must be looking at the wrong draft results.Putting my trash talk hat on, there's really no other team in League 4 that I like as much as my own.
