Super fun time, gents. Thx for partaking!

Idea for @Joe Bryant (and the rest of the Shark Pool)... Start another one of these SP home leagues this coming week. I think you will pretty quickly get 12 FBGs if you post a new thread tomorrow, referencing this one.
Then next year, let's have a promotion-relegation system. Top 6 in each league advance to the top league next year and bottom six move the the 2nd league. There would be quirks with people not returning but we can figure those out next year.
Huge potential with these Shark Pool home leagues!... So many here for not years but decades have presented themselves as fantasy gurus. Here's a chance to compete with one another to prove who's who and what's what!

Bro, you have the template on the first page of this thread. I say you start another thread doing exactly the same thing I did and get the ball rolling ASAP for the 2nd home league. I know there are a number of posters who chimed in here looking to join a 2nd league if created.
I'll see you next season in the Premier League.

LMAO I read the first few words then moved on. Taking a backup QB over your starting TE was taking things too far though.I’m not reading all that. I’m happy for you. Or sorry that happened.Now that the draft is over, I’ll explain my TE strategy. It very well may backfire and it may very well be flawed. Just looking at the rules/scoring system in this league (including starting lineup requirements)—I think that a large portion of the success in this league will go to teams that have really nice talent and depth at the RB and WR positions. Being forced to start two of each weekly—and up to 7 weekly out of a 10 player starting lineup is huge. I think the top qb’s are arguably worth the draft capital that they cost—and I think maybe the top 5-6 tight ends might be worth the draft capital that they cost—but aside from that—I’m not sure if the return on investment makes sense.lol nah. I’m legit experimenting with punting tight end in this league. Not just for the draft purposes—but in general. I’ll explain my rationale after the draft as I don’t want to potentially influence any picks.It's Henry for Kelce, isn't it
In 2023–there was a total of SIX tight ends that averaged 12 (when healthy and they played) or more fantasy points per game in a 0.5ppr format. To put things relatively speaking—there were 36 wide receivers (when healthy and they played) that averaged 12 or more fantasy points per game. (I used last year from weeks 1-15). There were 27 running backs that averaged 12 or more fantasy points per game (on average when they were healthy and they played). Because of this—and because there is only a requirement to start one tight end weekly in this league (10% of our starting lineup)—I wanted to dedicate the least amount of draft capital and roster space to a tight end. A roster spot (namely a bench spot) is one of two things in my opinion. It’s either a lottery ticket that gives me a shot to stash somebody that could turn elite with an injury or it’s an insurance policy. Most people that draft an elite tight end end up rostering a back up tight end as well. Not only do they expend the draft capital for the elite one—but they also expend the draft capital AND the opportunity cost of the roster spot for the backup for a position that generally doesn’t generate a lot of points (outside of a very few elite players). If you look at last season—guys like Kyren Williams, Puka, Jerome ford, Keaton Mitchell, Gus Edwards (and more) all had spurts where they gave their owners potentially season changing returns. With my strategy of punting tight end—I wouldn’t trade for an elite tight end that hasn’t had his bye week yet—as I would be forced to drop a valuable lottery ticket/insurance stash to find somebody to start when his bye week arrives. With my strategy of dedicating the least amount of draft capital and least amount of opportunity cost to that position—I really could only see myself making a play to get an elite tight end after they have had their bye week. Only then would I be motivated to be the one making offers. Right now—because I’ve dedicated almost no draft capital to my tight end position—unless he starts producing at elite levels—I can just drop my tight end and replace him with another one that will give me a weekly disadvantage during his bye week—and hopefully the draft capital that I was able to put into other positions—and the opportunity cost that having an extra lottery ticket on my bench (from not having to roster a back up TE) ends up paying off more than it costs me.
Edit—-I realized the numbers that I crunched from last year were for full PPR—here are the numbers for 0.5ppr for weeks 1-15 (average per player per game when played and healthy)
There were a total of FIVE Tight Ends that averaged more than 10 fantasy points per game. The one with the highest average per game was Kelce at 12.5.
There was a total of 35 WR’s that averaged more than 10 fantasy points per game when healthy and playing. 18 of those WR’s averaged more than 12.5 (more than the best TE)
There was a total of 29 running backs that averaged more than 10 fantasy points per game and 16 of them averaged more than 12.5.

Not gonna lie. Been doing this a minute. This is my first league without a kicker. Feels dirty. Ha ha
DA RAIDERS
Footballguy
It is weird.
joey
Footballguy
Agreed. This league and the FBG Bowl contest are my only 2 non-kicker leagues. It’s an odd choice imo. Are kickers that much more volatile or entirely random compared to other positions to feel the need to not have to start one at all?

I was this many years old when I realized we didn't draft kickers.

They’re kinda dumb. It sucks to lose because CAR can’t score tds and whoever their kicker is scores 18 points

20 some years ago when I wrote idp content for FFToday, we had a staff league. I had the highest scoring team but a tough schedule had me fighting for a playoff spot. Eliminated by 1 pt cuz some rando kicker hit 5 fgs complete with bonuses for long ones. I wrote a diatribe whining about how dumb it is to allow kickers to ruin everything. The next season I launched an idp league without kickers. That's the league I mentioned being in with a few FBG staffers and other industry writers. Going strong two decades later. I like to think that maybe I started the trend to boot kickers. It was an original idea to me. I hadn't seen it before. Maybe?
If so, you're welcome.

Remember that time at band camp when we drafted with @Ben & Jerry's, and kept making fun of him for taking too long before he'd stroll in at the 3.5hr+ timer mark and take dudes like X Worthy in Rd 7 and Ike Likely in rd 11, after another guy had already rostered three TEs in a start 1 TE league?
