Don't worry about it. If you're good enough for long enough people will start hating you because they believe Goodell is rigging games in your favor.

Joe said we could have a 4th league and so forth that it's just up to us to see how many we can fill. I suppose the question of continuity from year to year is a good question but it isn't a dynasty these are redrafts. If we filled 6 leagues this year (just an example) and 2 people declined to come back from each of them and we couldn't find new members then we simply reshuffle the deck with 5 leagues. Besides we'll find other new members to fill gaps.
So @fbghomeleagues wanna start a thread for a 4th league? There are at least 4 or 5 folks here ready. I'll refrain since I'm already in two. I probably would have only done one if I'd thought we were stopping at three leagues.

Footballguy
these are Sleeper leagues... but NFFC is involved?
Yes. Our good friends at NFFC operate the leagues. We are using Seeper as the league platform.
barackdhouse
Footballguy
oh yeah yeah I get it - NFFC and LeagueSafe are one.
And to add my own ten cents on LeagueSafe for anyone here reading... they really are the best. I've commissioned leagues with tens of thousands of dollars protected in escrow there and as 3rd parties go there is nothing better.

Awesome. Thanks for all the work you're doing here for this in making a special thing just for the Shark Pool.
Would be tons easier to just have people play the regular home leagues and we appreciate the extra work you're doing here.

Oh, are these guys still a thing?
My crappy *** team from the 12 spot
QB - Jared Goff, JJ McCarthy, Caleb Williams
I was the 11th to grab a QB with Goff at the 11/12 turn, then tripled up with McCarthy/Williams at the 13/14 turn. All are closely ranked, so playing the matchups, and looking out for trades if another team is/gets needy.
RB - Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton, Zach Charbonnet, Jerome Ford, Najee Harris, Woody Marks, Rico Dowdle, Brashard Smith
Half of my RB corps are rookies. Hoping to get a start or two out of Ford before Judkins takes over.
WR - Brian Thomas Jr, Jerry Jeudy, Jaylen Waddle, Matthew Golden, Jordan Addison
Only went 5 deep here, as I threw more darts at the RB position, and also opted for the QB carousel. Addison will become a weekly starter in week 4.
TE - George Kittle
He's a must start as long as he plays, and has the latest bye. Figured I would put all my eggs in the Kittle basket and worry about week 14 when the time comes.
D - LA Rams
D's were flying off the board by round 11 (3 went), and by the time I chose the Rams at the 17/18 turn, 5 teams already had 2 D's. I chose them simply for their matchups in weeks 1 & 2 (HOU and TEN), and will be playing the wire after that.

Soaked up a bunch of pass catching RB in full PPR then got my guys. Had fun, now get to see how bad my takes play out. If I end up paying the rake, it's all gravy baby.

The "A-" Team: Overachievers or Just Lucky?
Let’s start with the so-called class of the league: farfromforgotten and Cjw55106. Both somehow landed A- grades, but let’s not crown them yet. farfromforgotten is riding the Mahomes hype train, but with Tua as backup, this team’s depth is thinner than a Chip Kelly playbook. Cjw55106 went full ADP autopilot—Herbert and a rookie QB? That’s like buying insurance for your insurance. These teams look strong on paper, but one injury and they’ll be streaming QBs like it’s 2015. If they don’t use the Footballguys Weekly Rankings (https://www.footballguys.com/rankings), they’ll be back in the B-minus basement by October.
The "Bargain" Bin: Value Picks or Just Cheap?
H8fulHuck and Dreamers both earned the Bargain Hunter tag, but let’s be honest: their rosters look like they shopped at the fantasy equivalent of a dollar store. H8fulHuck is banking on Bo Nix and Trevor Lawrence—one’s a rookie, the other’s still trying to prove he’s not just a pretty face. Dreamers has Lamar and Jordan Love, which is great if you like rollercoasters and disappointment. These teams might sneak into the playoffs if everyone else’s rosters spontaneously combust, but don’t bet on it.
Rookie Mania: The Kids Are... Not Alright
TheWinz and BarackDHouse LG3 both went all-in on rookies, but this isn’t Madden Franchise mode. TheWinz is rolling with Goff, Caleb Williams, and J.J. McCarthy—if you like QB committees and existential dread, this is your squad. BarackDHouse LG3 is hoping Jayden Daniels and Ja'Marr Chase can carry a team with the Cowboys defense as a top asset. If you’re looking for a team to implode by Week 6, look no further.
Veteran Villages and Safe Spaces: Boring Their Way to Mediocrity
Bri and MinistryofPain are clinging to veterans like it’s 2017. Baker Mayfield and Dak Prescott? That’s not a QB room, that’s a retirement home. MinistryofPainat least has C.J. Stroud, but pairing him with Kyler Murray is like mixing oil and water—expect fireworks, but mostly from the other team. BroadwayG and thaguru played it safe, but in fantasy, safe is just another word for ‘middle of the pack.’ If you want to finish 6th, follow their blueprint.
H8fulHuck

no shock the team roast nailed me hard at TE. Starting Ertz is the equivalent of drafting a kicker round 3 and this league doesn’t use kickers. I’m dying 
Your wide receiver group is a masterclass in how to turn a position into a liability. Puka Nacua is your only real hope, while the rest of your starters are a collection of reaches, lottery tickets, and “who?” picks. Travis Hunter and Deebo Samuel are fine, but after that, it’s a parade of rookies and benchwarmers. And don’t get me started on tight end: Zach Ertz is your starter, which is like showing up to a gunfight with a butter knife. Your TE bench is so bad, it’s literally graded F. If you want to avoid being the punchline of your league’s group chat, you better start working those trade offers or hit up the Footballguys Waiver Wire Reports (https://www.footballguys.com/waiver-wire) before your season turns into a weekly TE therapy session.

They are, and I know this is the roast my team option but...Bo Nix isn't a rookie, I've seen this mistake a few times, and I really don't see the Lamar/Love as a rollercoaster. That's an enviable QB room.
There is clearly a Chip Kelly burn in the algorithm. I've seen him targeted a few times in the roast part of the app.
Also Trevor Lawrence was never a pretty face. That comment should be reserved for Jimmy Garoppolo, and only Jimmy Garoppolo.

Funny you mention that. Noticed it too and reported as a bug fix. To give the FBG tech a laugh…
Your rate my team roast got stumped hard attempting to burn my sick team. Your data calling Bo Nix a rookie is so old, Blu Cheese calls it grandpa. ChatGPT lite is more accurate.

What a roast! Fun read. Drafted a car load of clowns when you need a ring master. Burrow is the only bright spot in this dumpster fire. LOL!!!
Welcome to your Draft Report Card, SeniorVBD. You’ve entered the Shark Pool 3 FBG Home League, where the only thing more cutthroat than the competition is the post-draft analysis. With a B overall grade, you’re sitting squarely in the “not bad, but don’t get cocky” tier—think of it as the Kirk Cousins of draft results: technically competent, but nobody’s buying your jersey.
This league’s settings—full PPR, return yards, and a whopping three flex spots—mean depth and versatility are king. Unfortunately, your approach seems to have been “let’s see how many tight ends and running backs I can hoard before someone notices I forgot about wide receivers.” Your team’s “Steal Sniper” tag suggests you fancy yourself a draft room assassin, but your WR bench looks more like the witness protection program.
You actually managed to draft a quarterback room that doesn’t make me want to gouge my eyes out. Joe Burrow as your starter is a legitimate A+ move—he’s the only thing keeping your team from being a full-on fantasy dumpster fire. Brock Purdy on the bench is a solid insurance policy, so at least you won’t be streaming QBs like you’re playing fantasy roulette. If only the rest of your roster had this kind of stability, you might actually scare someone besides your own fanbase.
Your running back group is stacked—Saquon Barkley, Brian Robinson Jr., and a bench that’s deeper than the 2017 Browns’ draft regrets. You’ve got value picks, lottery tickets, and even a rookie reach or two. But let’s be honest: you spent so much time stockpiling RBs, you forgot that wide receivers exist. If this league gave bonus points for RB handcuffs, you’d be a lock for the playoffs. Instead, you’re one injury away from starting a guy whose mom doesn’t even roster him in her home league.
Here’s where the wheels come off. Your WR starters are barely passable, and your bench is a fantasy graveyard. Jayden Reed and Drake London are fine, but after that, it’s a collection of “who?” and “why?”—the kind of group that makes opposing managers lick their chops. Your WR bench grade is an F, which is generous. If you’re hoping for a breakout, you’ll need divine intervention or a time machine. Maybe both.
You drafted tight ends like you’re trying to corner the market. Evan Engram is a nice steal, but then you reached for Colston Loveland and overpaid for Hunter Henry. Your bench is loaded, but you can only start one. This is like buying three backup generators for a house with no electricity. Trade one, drop one, or just start a support group for frustrated TEs. Either way, check the Footballguys Weekly Rankings (https://www.footballguys.com/rankings) to see if any of these guys are actually worth keeping around.
Your playoff chances are a coin toss—50% on average, which is fitting for a team that can’t decide if it’s contending or tanking. If your RBs stay healthy and Burrow doesn’t implode, you might sneak in. But with WR depth this bad and bye week conflicts at RB and WR, you’re one bad week away from streaming waiver wire heroes.

Your playoff chances are a coin toss—50% on average, which is fitting for a team that can’t decide if it’s contending or tanking. If your RBs stay healthy and Burrow doesn’t implode, you might sneak in. But with WR depth this bad and bye week conflicts at RB and WR, you’re one bad week away from streaming waiver wire heroes.Your Wide Receiver
Wide receiver? More like wide receiver disaster. The starters are a B- on paper, but the bench is an F, and the overall grade is a D+—which is generous, considering the only thing deeper than this group is a kiddie pool. Drake London and Tee Higgins are your top options, which is great if you’re nostalgic for 2022 hype that never materialized. Khalil Shakir and Jayden Reed round out the starting group, but let’s be real: if you’re flexing these guys, you’re flexing your ability to lose close matchups. The bench is DeMario Douglas, who’s a ‘steal’ only if you’re shopping at the Dollar Store. In a league with three flex spots, this WR corps is a weekly liability. If you’re looking for upside, you’ll need a telescope.Your Team Defense
Team defense is where SeniorVBD decided to hoard points like a doomsday prepper. Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers are both rostered, which is great if you think fantasy championships are won by streaming defenses. The starters are an A-, the bench is an A+, and the overall grade is A+—which is hilarious, because if you’re spending this much draft capital on D/ST, you’re basically waving the white flag at WR and RB. In a league with three flex spots, this is the fantasy equivalent of drafting a kicker in the 8th round. Sure, you’ll win a couple weeks on defense, but you’ll lose the war everywhere else.Similar threads
