I am going with the assumption that this is a single-QB league and not SuperFlex. In which case Maye is a slam dunk drop. There is just no value whatsoever IMHO in keeping two QBs in this format unless they are both top tier studs. Even then I would highly recommend trading one of them before the deadline. Nix is 100% your QB until you acquire another.Some classic end of bench conundrums on a few of my FFPC teams as we head towards 3/31 cutdowns.

For example, In one league, i have 2 open spots for these 5 guys: Javonte Williams, Legette, Estime, McLaughlin, Mooney.
My roster is:
QB: Nix, Maye
RB: Bijan Robinson, Walker, Charbonnet, Allgeier
WR: Olave, Waddle, Rice, Pittman
TE: Andrews, Kraft
2025 Draft Picks: 1.6, 2.2, 2.6, 2.7, 3.9, 4.6, 5.6, 7.6, 7.7
Don’t love my double-handcuff RB setup but that’s what I backed into over a couple of drafts.
Do love the multiple 2nd rounders this year.
Thoughts/rankings on those 5 players I listed and who’d you keep knowing my roster and draft picks?
I agree I don't love having starter/handcuff in this format but yeah it happens what can you do.
I know the deal with Javonte is super small but it is the Cowboys and he can still be a PPR monster. I wouldn't bet on it but he is the only one of the 5 I wouldn't want to part with. I need to see more from Estime before I'd believe, but I'd consider trading him for something before cutting. I like McLaughlin and Mooney for depth. I need to do more scouting on Legette he is a bit under my radar. I'd keep Javonte, Legette and McLoughlin and try to get even cheap picks for Mooney, Estime or even Maye but Maye is like 17th on this list but I also wouldn't trade a 4th rounder for him. And it isn't because I don't like him it's because two QBs is impressively suboptimal. You're literally thinking about cutting a RB because of him. He would be doubtful to ever actually play for you. Just my ten cents.

I don't think it's unreasonable. Maybe a little tough to pull but within range. That said those offers are terrible and easy rejections. So don't second guess yourself too much here.

I'm down to just 6 dynasty leagues now. All FFPC, just one single-QB and it is our Sharkpool league. Only one of them has some deep cuts to deal with and it's my one championship team from 2024. It looks it.
SuperFlex FFPC need to cut 3 of these:
Mahomes, Purdy
Barkley, Henry, Tracy, Tank, CMC, Ford
BThomas Jr, Puka, Aiyuk, Doubs, Diggs,Shaheed
Ferguson, Goedert,Ertz
I'm going to try pretty hard to make some trades but don't want to drop Ford or Doubs. Not sure what the Browns backfield looks like right now.

Yes 1 QB of course. Hadn’t actually considered dropping Maye since I wanted to have 2 dart throws in Nix and Maye, but you’re right that a 2nd QB in this format is a bit of an anchor. And with all my 2nd round picks, I could obviously re-draft him if I wanted to while keeping more of my RB dart throws. Javonte, Legette and McLaughlin are my top 3 of those 5 as well. I put out a message on the league message board trying to get a mid round pick for any of those guys to possibly help me reduce my options.I am going with the assumption that this is a single-QB league and not SuperFlex. In which case Maye is a slam dunk drop. There is just no value whatsoever IMHO in keeping two QBs in this format unless they are both top tier studs.

Why are you do married to Ford? Before I read your last sentence I started counting to 3 on your roster and Ford was the first cut from my pov. Then Tank and then perhaps Diggs. He’s the kind of old vet WR I bet you could redraft in the 3rd while others are throwing rookie darts.
The 1.04 in 1 QB is going to be a good prospect. Depending on team need, I might be willing to drop to 1.06, but, yeah, I'd need another late 1st. The FFPC 1 QB leagues are always RB-focused, so I could see the top 4 rookies all being RBs by the time May rolls around.

Nix isn't a dart throw anymore. He's a bulls eye and franchise starter. 2nd QBs are basically free inseason or as you mentioned you can likely redraft Maye here shortly.Yes 1 QB of course.

You're probably right. I like Ford a lot but the Browns may not. To be fair I have *just* begun looking into offseason news etc.
I probably don't have the nerve to drop Diggs in March even though I tend to agree about him. I think Tank took over the main early down Jags backfield until further notice, and I've seen him go for a 1st recently. No chance I'm dropping him and would not trade for a random 2nd maybe an early 2nd OTC, but I doubt it.
On Diggs I wouldn't want to redraft him if I cut him I but wouldn't mind seeing someone else spend their 2nd or 3rd on him just to push depth down another notch for me. I doubt I can get a bag of dirt for him in a trade but maybe as some sort of package IDK.
I like Maye over Nix myself and not expecting him to cut in any league of mine, feel like he's viewed as a top 10 dynasty QB now.Nix isn't a dart throw anymore.

Footballguy
well ok I mean like I said to me it's more about not holding two QBs and I don't have anything particular against Maye the player. Not in love with the Patriots situation over the QBs going lower in the rankings, like Purdy, Goff, Murray, Mayfield, and probably about five or six older vets that can be had inseason or late in the rookie/FA draft like Stafford/Rodgers/Dak/Darnold/Tua, not to mention a couple guys with tons of upside still like Fields, Young, McCarthy, ARich, maybe Penix. I'm fine with liking Maye more than all of those I just don't see it in 2025 nor do I see it worth the opportunity cost of dropping serviceable RB/WR options.I like Maye over Nix myself and not expecting him to cut in any league of mine, feel like he's viewed as a top 10 dynasty QB now.Nix isn't a dart throw anymore.

All that said, if you prefer Maye to Nix, for whatever reasons whether I agree or not, I'd argue to run don't walk to get whatever kind of draft pick or trade value you can for Nix because I still think carrying two QBs is suboptimal unless they're both elite studs. I like Nix but I don't consider him undroppable, would much rather get something in return though.
Also, just as for Nix, I saw some really ugly play early in the season that worried me, saw a lot of growth and improvement in the latter and I'm a strong believer in what him and Sean Payton can do. He will sure need to take another step but I feel like he cemented himself into the role and should be able to take the next step. And to be clear to all, I have no issue whatsoever with keeping two QBs if the players you're cutting don't cause any heartache. I mean if they're scrubs to you then by all means keep a second QB. I'll likely be doing that in our SP league for example, because I'm not up against the numbers.

yeah I see that's where he is landing in rankings across sites as well. I have to say I'm pretty shocked by that and would consider it the first obvious (to me) example of the market getting it wrong. That's just my take. I think 10 or 11 is about right for Nix but not close for Maye for me.Yeah, that’s been my pov for a while as well (and part of the reason why I moved Herbert + 3.6 for a 2.7 to not have THREE QBs to worry about).I like Maye over Nix myself and not expecting him to cut in any league of mine, feel like he's viewed as a top 10 dynasty QB now.Nix isn't a dart throw anymore.

This is exactly the kind of trade I frickin love making in 1QB FFPC leagues. I feel like I've gotten just a ton of value over the years in flipping QBs and seemingly always having a really good one available. SP league notwithstanding as I was hoping for much more from Fields, but that ship hasn't exactly sunk yet either.Herbert + 3.6 for a 2.7I like Maye over Nix myself and not expecting him to cut in any league of mine, feel like he's viewed as a top 10 dynasty QB now.Nix isn't a dart throw anymore.

I like Maye over Nix as well, but its close and your original plan to keep both and see if 1 breaks out is the right one imo. I think rostering both your backup RBs is not great and i would rather have more hooks in the water with the other guys. I would cut Algier and maybe go with Legette, Estime and Mooney. Charbonet\Williams pretty close imo GL!

QB: Nix, Maye
RB: Bijan Robinson, Walker, Charbonnet, Allgeier
WR: Olave, Waddle, Rice, Pittman
TE: Andrews, Kraft
2025 Draft Picks: 1.6, 2.2, 2.6, 2.7, 3.9, 4.6, 5.6, 7.6, 7.7
Don’t love my double-handcuff RB setup but that’s what I backed into over a couple of drafts.
Do love the multiple 2nd rounders this year.
Thoughts/rankings on those 5 players I listed and who’d you keep knowing my roster and draft picks?
I agree I don't love having starter/handcuff in this format but yeah it happens what can you do.
I know the deal with Javonte is super small but it is the Cowboys and he can still be a PPR monster. I wouldn't bet on it but he is the only one of the 5 I wouldn't want to part with. I need to see more from Estime before I'd believe, but I'd consider trading him for something before cutting. I like McLaughlin and Mooney for depth. I need to do more scouting on Legette he is a bit under my radar. I'd keep Javonte, Legette and McLoughlin and try to get even cheap picks for Mooney, Estime or even Maye but Maye is like 17th on this list but I also wouldn't trade a 4th rounder for him. And it isn't because I don't like him it's because two QBs is impressively suboptimal. You're literally thinking about cutting a RB because of him. He would be doubtful to ever actually play for you. Just my ten cents.
I like Maye over Nix as well, but its close and your original plan to keep both and see if 1 breaks out is the right one imo. I think rostering both your backup RBs is not great and i would rather have more hooks in the water with the other guys. I would cut Algier and maybe go with Legette, Estime and Mooney. Charbonet\Williams pretty close imo GL!
As of right now, I have both Maye and Nix in my list of keepers and keep flip flopping between 2 of Legette, Javonte and McLaughlin, with Mooney and Estime below those 3.
Since I thankfully have THREE 2nd rounders, there's a great chance that I can just draft back any one of the players I drop since the draft is AFTER the NFL Draft, so I'll have much more info on depth charts/etc after that point. (kinda wish the cut down was after the NFL Draft instead of 3/31, but that's part of the challenge and fun, eh?)
ETA: of course, there are still a couple of free agent RBs floating around (Dobbins) that might effect my keeper preferences of course.
Seconded, you've been to quiet NE R.
I see this way as well. Maye and Nix are a good pairing. I love Maye's upside, feel it's legit top 5 due to his athletic ability but he needs some help and so far it's not been the off-season we wanted to see for getting him that help. So I'd rather he was not my QB1. But Nix, who has upside in his own right, as your QB1 seems like an ideal way to go while you wait for Maye.
I already said my keeper list would be Legette for sure and then I'd try and trade whoever I could out of the next group. But if you put the old gun to my head today and made me decide I would also narrow it down to Javonte vs Jaleel. I'd think you'd have an easier time trading Javonte though if you tried, maybe.
Did you know the first few years of FFPC we had cut downs due on 2/28, before FA opens? That's wild in hindsight to consider, was super challenging and required so much educated guessing. It was cool in the sense that some veterans who got cut ended up beign redrafted in round one. Fleener was last one I recall. So for me I tend to view being able to cut after most of FA is over in probalby a different light then you, like they made life so much easier.
Traded for him a few days ago. Depending on how you look at it traded him for Rachaad White or 3.8. ( knew he was available but had to clear a roster spot, White was my last maybe keeper so traded him for 3.7 and the sent 3.8 for Brooks)
The team I did that trade for him is really ideal. Don’t need him and the free roster spot he gives me most of the year while he is on IR is as valuable as White was to me, probably more so unless White is traded.
He’ll cost me the roster spot next off season unless I hear some doom and gloom forecast but he’s young and talented enough to take a big upside shot and I think that’s all still realistic.

I'd cut him, not sure he even sees the field this year.
He probably won't but he also won't take up a roster spot.
I mean he went for like 1.5 on average in rookie drafts when I thought he was heading for a zero or minimal year one.

I tried to acquire him in one 16 team league & was politely told to pound sand.
Wish I was in your league!
It's really different in these smaller roster, 12 teams leagues though. He'd not crack most of my top 14 lists of keepers, as such I'd be in the camp who would not give a bag of chips for him.
And no I have neither seen him traded or offered. That few hour window when Brown resigned and people thought Worthy was in trouble might have been the narrow open window you had to get something for him.

thinking about this situation just a little more, only thing I'd add at this point is Legette is probably the only one that is undroppable based on upside alone. I do think there is a slim chance for Javonte but otherwise none of the others have any at all. I don't mean Maye I certainly see his upside. But take home would be to take Legette off your possible drop list.thanks for the thoughts, @NE_REVIVAL.My 2 cents:I like Maye over Nix myself and not expecting him to cut in any league of mine, feel like he's viewed as a top 10 dynasty QB now.Nix isn't a dart throw anymore. He's a bulls eye and franchise starter. 2nd QBs are basically free inseason or as you mentioned you can likely redraft Maye here shortly.Yes 1 QB of course. Hadn’t actually considered dropping Maye since I wanted to have 2 dart throws in Nix and Maye,I am going with the assumption that this is a single-QB league and not SuperFlex. In which case Maye is a slam dunk drop. There is just no value whatsoever IMHO in keeping two QBs in this format unless they are both top tier studs. Even then I would highly recommend trading one of them before the deadline. Nix is 100% your QB until you acquire another.Some classic end of bench conundrums on a few of my FFPC teams as we head towards 3/31 cutdowns.

Yeah, he is in purgatory. Not good enough to fit in as a keeper for a contender. Not enough of a prospect and too many questions for a rebuild team.

Thanks. Agreed that Legette has basically been at the very top of my “pick 2 players to keep out of these 5” list the whole time. So unless something crazy happens in the next 2.5 weeks, he's being kept.thinking about this situation just a little more, only thing I'd add at this point is Legette is probably the only one that is undroppable based on upside alone.

As for Javonte vs McLaughlin…I think Dobbins will decide that for me. If Dobbins signs in Denver, I keep Javonte even though I’m confident (we all are) that Dallas is drafting a rookie RB in the first 2-3 rounds this year. But even as I type that, I think “but Dobbins is likely getting hurt if history is a guide” and, crap, I’m back where I started from, flipping a coin

Funny thing is, I’m not being picky. I’ve put all 4 of Javonte, McLaughlin, Estime, Mooney on the trading block and posted on the message board that they can be had for a “mid round pick”. I’d take an extra 4th of 5th for any of them. Not a single bite at all.

I have room for him on a dfwc rebuild and I am keeping him. In FPC I needed his spot and cut him in-season last year and on another FPC team i recently traded him for a bag of rocks.

Battle of the final crappy keeper:
Triflex FFPC league. I have 15 slam dunk keepers and my final keeper comes down to this pile of garbage:
JHill, McCormick, Rattler, Badie, ZWhite, Corley, Valdez-Scantling
Pick 1 please. I’m currently planning on keeping Hill (I don’t own Henry and the Henry owner is not interested at all).
I only have Rattler because I roster (and plan on keeping) Carr as my 3rd QB.
Opinions appreciated

I would shift to buyer mode, seek out a nice cut down deal for mid round pick kind of thing and then cut them all.

Footballguy
Yeah. I’ve been trying but no success.
Already traded away this year’s 1.10 (plus 2026 2nd) for Breece Hall. And I traded my 2.10 (plus QJ) for Najee and McLaughlin (pre-Chargers signing of Najee). So I’m down to 3.10, 4.4, 4.10, 5.10, 6.10.
Tried trading a 4th for B Allen NYJ RB as a Hall handcuff but that team isn’t interested and I’m not interested in “overplaying” for a handcuff.
Thanks for the thoughts, meno

I can't even figure out who the hell J Hill is and you even mentioned Henry so I guess I need more coffee.
I would argue, vehemently, to put out a message saying you have room to take on a player and look for owners that are up against it. Almost any player you could trade for is better than those.

My 16th keeper…it’s SuperFlex. I have Lamar, Bryce, Carr. have to keep all 3.
Do I keep Rattler as Carr insurance (hoping the Saints don’t draft another rookie QB) or do I trade for Levis with my 5.10 (hoping the Titans don’t draft his replacement this year)? Thoughts?
Levis owner just posted Levis on the block for “4th OBO”, so I’m leaning into the “OBO” part and would start with my 5th
joey
Footballguy
Nevermind. I just traded my 5.10 for Levis. I figure in a SuperFlex league, with him being only 25, and a (current) starter at least, he’s better than my other pile of garbage posted above for my 16th and final keeper. And who knows, maybe the titans give him one more year to prove himself and would rather wait til next year’s draft class that has better QBs coming out.

Played in my first FFPC league last year and gearing up for my first rookie draft. Haven't seen this covered in this thread before, so asking for everyone's experience
In the draft, when do free agents get drafted? i.e. I would assume first round would be 12 rookies; is that the same for round 2? do free agents come off the board in round 3? how many?
I know this can vary from league to league but just trying to get an understanding to prepare for upcoming draft.
TIA...

I'm sure others may have more detailed data to refer to, but I would say FA guys typically start getting picked in round 3. Maybe there will be 3-4 taken that round and more later.
Yeah, it's very league-specific, because the available veterans vary so much from league to league. When I did my first FFPC superflex draft some years ago, I took Jared Stidham at the 2.02 because he was New England's only QB on the roster at the time.
When Gronk unretired to play with Brady, he was available in pretty much every league, but, again, it really varied where he was taken. With rookies, things stay pretty true to ADP and rankings, but vets can be all over the place, especially in superflex, because a guy like Jameis Winston will probably be available in a lot of leagues, and I could see him going in the 2nd round if a really QB-needy team is on the clock.

I was going to say “early 3rd” as well on average but obviously depends on if a team has to drop a productive vet to get down to 16 players.
Looking back at the 2 FFPC rookie/free agent drafts I was in last year (both 1QB 12 team “standard” FFPC dynasty leagues) the first vets were picked at pick 3.9 in one league, and 3.2 (thru 3.4) in another league.

I acquired Chubb in one SF league last year as basically a throw in on a bigger deal and now I'm having hesitation to cut him even though I knew this was coming. My last cuts that are difficult. Between him and Nuk or a couple young RBs with upside but probably not worth a damn in Corum and Tucker.
