I searched for this thread but didn't see it, so apologies if I missed it. Who are your week 1 WW targets? How much FAAB are you looking to invest?

In an FFPC dynasty league I'm bidding 300/1000 for Raider WR Thornton.

Afraid to say, I'll be saving my FAAB for another day. Hollywood Brown might be worth an additional but I am not bidding for him.
Xavier Worthy - I was banking on what he could do with the ball when he got it. Hollywood, I think you are just banking on volume. They're just not the same level player at Hollywood's age.

I'm surprieed he's available on the WW even with the OTF issues and contract disputes.

Redraft (I can't imagine he's available in any dynasty) I'd say 50-100% depending on RB needs.

Guillotine.. putting 525 to 600 out of 1000 on Chase as he and 250 on Achane as they were best available from the lowest scoring team

How much are you dropping for Fannin if you punted TE? I started Loveland tonight and yes I'm panicking already lol
I'm thinking 20-25+ since this is a keeper league and you can retain a WW / FA for really cheap.

I too would love to hear some insight on this guy. I currently have Kincaid and don’t think last week will be his norm.
Is Fannin a viable fantasy option even with Njoku around?
Mookie
Footballguy
It's certainly a risk having Njoku there, and their QB situation is far from stable, but Fannin was heavily involved and they moved him all over. That signals to me that the Browns feel they have something special - I'm dropping Loveland for him (PPR redraft).

Fannin was schemed his touches and it seems like they have a definite plan for him. He's my only TE in a casual redraft league but I worry about how long Flacco will be Cleveland's starter and whether Cleveland will alter their gameplan once Judkins gets going and Isaiah Bond gets integrated.
A whole bunch of moving parts here. There might be guys on your wire you can add in addition to thim. The major sites are going over who they are.
He's very much a viable option with Njoku around. Fannin was in the slot and backfield a lot on Sunday. Njoku was more inline. Fannin, like I just mentioned, is more scheme-dependent while Njoku is playing a more traditional TE. Njoku is also running a lot of routes. More than Fannin, even, I think. So there's that to consider.

Can we just officially declare his new nickname is the Tailpipe Banana?

I'm in the market for a TE -- went into Week 1 with Henry and JSanders, the latter of whom I think can safely be dropped at this point -- but I'm not sure any of the guys out there are worth burning a waiver priority on. Likely is out there, and with Andrews crapping the bed this week I'm a little more intrigued, but he's a bit of a Tailpipe Banana himself. I mean, how much longer are we going to wait for him to break out?
The other obvious target is Fannin. People were talking him up all offseason, and when that happens and then the guy delivers in Week 1, I definitely take notice. But there are still a ton of question marks -- Njoku, the QB situation, Cleveland's offense in general -- that prevent me from viewing him as an obvious add.
I'll think about it throughout the day, but for now my instinct is to sit tight and see who's still available tomorrow morning after waivers run. (My usual in-season routine is to hop on my phone first thing in the morning and try to make the first post-waiver transactions). This is especially true given that I'm fine rolling with Henry as my Yin TE while I search for a Yang (s/o to all the Andrew Cooper fans)

Javonte and Judkins both available on WW in my local 10-teamer (redraft, short benches). Who would folks prioritize? I'm leaning Judkins even though Javonte has already had a decent-ish game

increased to 16! not paying more.

For those like me with only a fringe TE, I'm looking hard at Juwan Johnson. It feels a bit like fool's gold based on his up/down history, but 11 targets in Week 1 is kind of hard to ignore. Saints are going to be playing from behind a lot, Kamara is going to face a lot of stacked fronts, and Olave is still being thrown hospital balls so the target share could stay up. He dropped a TD pass at the end of the game as well that if he hauled in could have resulted in a 23 pt PPR day.

Given Kilttle was just put on IR + the fact there are only a few reliable TEs in the league, I feel like those wanting to target a TE on the WW will need to spend a little more than they'd like.
There will be a lot of competition.

Really liking what I have been reading about Fannin. TE is such a crap shoot.
I have Ferguson and Goedert in one league and Kincaid in another. I don't know if I feel comfortable dropping either of Ferg/Goedert for him but Kincaird I am mighty tempted...

I'm thinking around 10%? Half PPR redraft and I have Andrews (who I would drop, I don't have the roster space currently to hold 2 TEs). Might not be enough TBH.
Football Jones
Footballguy
Are people really thinking about dropping Andrews after last season? I don't get it.
I'd have to look, but it seems like he does this every year. Yes, Likely could cut into his production, but we're talking about a guy who had 11 TDs last season.
It would be like Christmas morning if I saw Andrews on my wire. Is he guaranteed to be a stud this year? No, but this is the TE position and guys like him don't grow on trees.

This is the way, I think. I also like Fanin a lot and wish I had prioritized him a bit more in my rookie draft.
Johnson played 99% of the offensive snaps. He had some insane usage for any pass catcher, much less a TE.

I'm going $100 on Chase, $25 on Keenan Allen and $75 on LaPorta. I don't expect to get any of them, but don't really feel like I need to go crazy at this point in the season.
Sampson is going to keep a big role in Cleveland.
I heard Fannin was around 70%
That will be nowhere close to get Bijan. My guess someone will spend close to $200
Yeah if I don’t get him then I’m just gonna save the money then I guess. I don’t need an rb and if a team does that now, I’m guessing he’ll be available again soon enough.
RenegadeRoy
Footballguy
Who are your RBs that are better than Bijan? He's at the very least a top 5 IMO.
I have Chase brown and Henderson. But if the point is to save money so you can spend later, outside of dire need, why not just save? I was the second top team and far from being cut. I’m far from being the worst team right now.
RenegadeRoy
Footballguy
The question becomes: Save for what? What's better than Bijan? Having Bijan and Brown would be killer. I'm not fully sure how guillotine leagues work, but surely there is someone on your roster you could drop for Bijan.
It’s my first season doing one. But the answer to your question is to have money later on in the season after teams have blown their faab on Bijan etc. I read this How To Manage Your FAAB In Guillotine League Fantasy Football (Month by Month) and the logic and strategy of it makes sense to me. $10 spent now is worth more later on. My only competition right now is the worst team in the league. And right now I don’t need Bijan to not be the worst team in the league.
N Zone
Footballguy
The worst team in the league does need BIjan and they might not be the worst any longer if they add him. Something to think about. I've never played in that type of league, but I listen to SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio and a guy on there comes on and is an expert and he warns the two hosts (who just started playing Guillotine last year) to bid a very reasonable amount each week as you've pointed out.

In my guillotine league Lamb is hitting w.w. I'm bidding 1500 of 2000 on him.The premiere players may not hit the wire again as the good teams get even better.
