I’ll give it a whirl…
1.05: Justin Jefferson. I seriously considered the fanboy pick here of jeanty as well but just knew if I took JJ my team would have more balance.
2.08 Bucky Irving. wanted brown with my 2nd but was sniped by @Chaos34 happy to have Bucky. Hope his volume stays the same.
3.05. James Cook. Sniped again! I was targeting k Williams but @Chaka grabbed him. Another very good consolation prize in cook.
4.08 James Conner very happy he fell to me. I could have gone wr here but they were all the same for me at this point. May Connor’s body hold up.
5.05 Devonte Smith. Should be decent wr2 territory. Happy I took Conner
6.08 Chris Godwin. Love this pick. He’s just gotta get and stay healthy. Dude is a straight baller
7.05 Bo Nix! The new moniker is born. This was another case of I saw all the WRs to be interchangeable and I think Nix is going to kill it
8.08. Mark Andrews. Went TE early for me, but the TE cliff is real. I was surprised he was there. And you know..interchangeable WRs.
9.05 Jayden Reed. Should be wr 1b at worst on GB. WR gamble paid off imho
10.08. Luther Burden Interchangeable wr
11.05. Ray Davis. Handcuff insurance. Plus cook was holding out atm. And Davis has shown he can ball. And @LawFitz took and was going to take my other ones.
12.08 & 13.05 Quentin Johnson and Demario Douglas 2 young guys on the up and coming list. As long Keenan Allen doesn’t resurge too much I really like QJ
14.08. Miles Sanders. Happy to see him. Might be the lead back.
15.05. Bills D. Love their schedule and division little early for a D but hey, 15th round.
16.08 MarShawn Lloyd good handcuff to steal from @LawFitz
17.05 Hunter Henry. Knew fat stafford would come back to me. Plus stupid *** mcdaniels loves him
18.08. Fat Stafford. Back should be fine by the time I might need him.
I like my team quite a bit. It was pretty funny how @Chaka and I were mirrors. The draft was fun and let’s goooooooooooo.
Congrats in advance suckas

The fact this article refers to Bijan Robinson, Jayden Daniels, and Caleb Williams as rookies really emphasizes how worthless and poorly written it us.Here is the rest of the write up:
Shark Pool #1 FBG Home League:
Welcome to the post-draft report for the Shark Pool #1 FBG Home League, a competitive 12-team full PPR redraft league where every point counts and return yards add a little extra spice. This analysis dives into how each team fared in their draft, spotlighting the strengths, weaknesses, and overall grades for the 2024 season. With no superflex to boost quarterback value, the focus is on balanced rosters and savvy picks to maximize scoring potential.
The top dogs like Chaos34 and FBG Chaka flex strong A- and B+ grades with high projected points, showing they nailed their draft strategy. Meanwhile, teams like Ben & Jerry's and Above ADP are sitting with C+ grades, signaling some rough patches ahead. We’ll break down who’s poised to dominate, who’s flying under the radar, and who might need to hustle on the waiver wire to stay competitive. Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of this year’s draft results and what they mean for your fantasy playoff.
Leading the pack, Chaos34 boasts the highest projected points (249) with an A- grade, thanks to a stellar QB trio featuring Justin Herbert and Kyler Murray. Close behind, FBG Chaka impresses with a B+ grade and a deep QB stable including Caleb Williams and Anthony Richardson Sr., perfect for this full PPR league. Jvdesigns2002 and Instinctive also show strong B grades and solid projected points, anchored by elite QBs Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen respectively. These teams have the firepower and depth to make a serious playoff push, especially if they leverage Footballguys’ Weekly Rankings and Waiver Wire Reports to stay sharp.
Teams like Atomic Punk, Joey, and Willy T Flyers sit comfortably in the B to A- range with projected points in the 220s. They’ve drafted well-rounded squads with a mix of veteran and rookie talent, such as Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, and Justin Jefferson. These squads have upside but might need to watch for injury risks or inconsistent veterans. Their playoff chances hinge on consistent weekly production and smart in-season management.
Mid-Tier Mix: Balanced but Room to Grow
On the lower end, Ben & Jerry's and Above ADP carry C+ grades with projected points barely over 200. Their reliance on rookie QBs like Jayden Daniels and Joe Burrow paired with aging veterans like Derrick Henry and Geno Smith could be a recipe for inconsistency. Gary and FarFromHome Soldiers also face challenges with B- grades and middling projections, needing breakout performances from their QBs and WRs to stay relevant. Sorry, but yikes — these teams will need to hustle hard on the waiver wire to avoid an early exit.
Struggling Squads: Draft Woes and Tough Roads Ahead
The league shows two distinct drafting philosophies. The "Rookie Revolution" squads (Ben & Jerry's, Gary) bank on unproven talent with hopes of breakout seasons, while the "ADP Autopilot" teams (Atomic Punk, Chaos34) stick closer to consensus rankings, aiming for steady production. The former approach is riskier but could pay off big if rookies like Bijan Robinson or Caleb Williams explode. The latter is safer but might lack the high ceiling needed to win it all. Whichever path you’re on, using Footballguys’ tools will be key to navigating the season’s twists and turns.

I hope my posts did not suggest I was backing it.
To be clear, I never thought it had value in the first place. But there was a request to see what it offered (I forget if it was here or one of the other home league threads). So, The Chaka abided.
Its worlds better than any AI write up in previous years but still deeply flawed. Personally, I find that informative about AI. If you look at the individual team write ups you will find more instances where it clearly doesn't grasp the concept. I have a bad QB room, the worst in our league (on paper) and it tells me that my starter (it says A.Richardson) is mid. But then it gives me an A for depth (Caleb & JJ). It clearly over values starters in depth positions.
Lots of flaws. Still fun to play with.

How do you see your projected record? Just look at each week’s matchup and their predicted points? Have you set your lineup that far out in advance and swapped players on bye weeks? No way I’m doing that now.
All that matters to me is week 1. And I see me going 0-1 after week 1 if I’m being honest.
(Can’t give up the schtick just yet. Needs to consistently stop working before I pivot)

Thoughts
JVD - Not many picks I would argue with and picked up some nive value.
Above ADP - Surprised he's ranked so low. Trying to figure out who's above ADP; many jacobs by a hair, Egbuka but he's climbing fast. Broncos D obviously but it's in the double digit rounds. Should contend
Joey - Nice effort here. Stevenson in the 9th...meh...picking nits. Theilen in the last round was a gift.
-jb- - Maybe the best start. Guess he felt bad and spotted the field the Mixon pick
Hoosier - Great start, faltered rounds 4-6. Maybe the best middle of the draft
Choas - definately some upside. A lot riding on Murray.
Instinctive - A lot riding on Hill. Did he nail TE or whiff? Like what he did at RB late.
Gary - Pushed his luck to far at TE and lost.
Chaka - I guess someone has to be the Pitts owner. Could be a powerhouse if the QBs work out. Boom/bust team that's hard to rank.
Atomic Puck - Which draft magazine did you use?
Nixs - I'd like this team better with Mahomes/Odunze over Godwin/Nix. I feel like this team could struggle early and have to fight back late in the year.
FarFromWinning - j/k. Talk about risky RB strategy. If he's right, then he is a top contender. Maybe you can trade depth at TE or WR for a RB. LOL...Josh Gordon?

Appreciate the time and the feedback. Drafts like this I simply go best available according to my brain. Already addressed rb by trading for my boy Taylor. In a 12 man 47 round draft my final pick has zero percent chance of being on my roster week 1. It was a moment to recognize the memory of the man known as Josh Gordon. Respect. Onward

For the first time since literally 5 minutes after the draft, I currently have no trade offers active.
Don't get mistaken. I will trade half my roster in one trade, from my bed, in minutes while I pet my 3 dogs.

^^^ No idea if the magic will, or even can be recreated with the other SP home leagues, but UNO is the shizznizzle. And after seeing some of the negative energy that came from talk of combining competitions and/or relegation, promotion, etc. I am no longer in favor of any of that.
Happy to keep THIS league together for as long as you fart knockers would like. If someone leaves, hopefully someone like Instinctive steps in again and we go on seamless. No need for anything more than the competition and more importantly, the camaraderie that we've established in Sharkpool UNO!

Lots of owners are like that. My first week of a league I figure out which ones have that stance and which ones are willing to trade. Saves time for me. Honestly drafting is my favorite part of this. Then I actually enjoy trading more then the actual playing of the season. I don't know why. Maybe something to do with me as a child?When I spend a week carefully considering who I draft at each pick, I have this odd habit of wanting to see how my draft pan out during the first few weeks of the season before I want to trade half of my team away

Thanks. Always just enjoyed this nerdy hobby we play. I dont have like a bat cave I spend time in formululating my thoughts. Fantasy football has always been a dead time filler for me. For example. My trade with Chaka was created waiting in the pharmacy drive in for wife. Id bet 60% of my trades overall have been created, accepted, or declined waiting in some form of drive thru line. Waiting is usually fantasy football time for me. So if the person in front of you at Walmart didn't notice he is next, it's prolly because it's me looking through waiver guys. Ha ha
