Will that dog hunt? 2024 Win-Now Dynasty & Redraft (1 Viewer)

I have the hottest of messes at QB. Finished 2nd last year.

12 team ppr best ball, start 1 qb, 2 rb, 3 wr, 1 te, 1 r/w/t, k, d

QB - Geno, Fields, O'Connell, Nix, Penix
RB - Hall, Bjian, Walker, Mostert, Ford
WR - Chase, Deebo, Hollywood, Sutton, Jamo, Shaheed, Shakir, Wicks
TE - Kelce, Kmet, Ferguson
K - Elliott
D - Cowboys
Nice team that should hunt even with the QB issue. Geno might be alright this year, the new OC should bring an uptempo air it out offense.
 
16 team IDP, ppr
QRWWWTFFK full (11 starters) IDP

Q mahomes, Minshew
R Najee, Warren, Barkley, Jacobs
W Evans, lamb, Tyreek, A Cooper, Meyers, shaheed
T kittle, okonkwo
K sanders, dicker
DT autry, vea
DE parsons, watt, Garrett, tulipulatu
LB R smith, greenlaw, Edwards, Wagner, Shaq Thompson
CB Surtain, McCray, Kyle Gordon
S bates, Hamilton, Grant

 
Snake bit 3rd year dynasty team trying to finally make a run this year.

12 team, ppr, not TE mandatory
QRWWWFKD (note just 1 RB mandatory starter)

Cut down to 13 players happens early-August and then we draft shortly after.

10 of 13 keepers are pretty much set:
QB: Stroud
RB: JTaylor, JWilliams, ZWhite
WR: Lamb, Olave, Pickens, JReed, Kirk, Downs

Need to pick 3 from this group (in my current priority order)
RJohnson, JMeyers, JKDobbins, JMcLaughlin, TyChandler, EGray, KHerbert, APierce, Cousins

Drafting from the 5 slot.
Should hunt

Hunting dog here.

Zero QB strategy - I like it. Nix and/or AOC should provide a good enough backup QB for a week, or even if something happens to Geno.

Might not be the worst idea to deal for Sam Howell.
 
12 team PPR SF, start 10 no TEP, no D/ST, no K

RB - Bijan, ETN, Mixon, Monty (& scraps)

TE - Pitts

Will hunt.

I’m a little concerned about QB2 since it’s starting to sound like AOC will start, but that’s easier to fix in 1QB.

But those WR + Mahomes will carry you most weeks, and I like your IDPers assuming tackle-heavy format.
 
12 Team Dynasty 1QB 2RB 3WR 1Flex 1TE PPR
QB- Hurts, Goff

WR- Tyreek, Amon Ra, Devonta Smith, DJ Moore, Jayden Reed, Darnell Mooney, Wan'Dale, Rondale, Trey Palmer, Gabe Davis, etc.
TE- Andrews, Likely, Fant

Finished 2nd last year.I have all my picks for next year to use in case I need some RB help mid season. This was a massive rebuild after taking over a team that was about as bad as it gets in 2020.
Huntin dog, bigtime. Playoff lock, likely champ.

A bit worried about RB depth, and hopefully Olave finally lives up to his immense potential, but for a win-now balanced approach I like it.

This is a huntin dog.

Bit concerned about your rapidly aging top WRs, but since we’re talking about 2024 hunting, they should be ok. I like the youth behind them, but there’s a tier drop from the olds to the youts, as I’m sure you’re aware.
 
16 team SF PPR TE-P+ start 2 TE, IDP, start 11/11 with big play IDP scoring (SFL, TFL, etc)
LCG win last year

QB - TLaw (Fields, Rattler) 😬
RB - Hall, Stevenson, Connor, Ty Chandler
WR - Puka, Pittman, Deebo, Cooper (McLaurin, Gabe Davis, Bateman, Quentin Johnston)
TE - Schultz, Kmet
K- Aubrey (Moody)
DT - Oliver (Saunders, J. Davis, M.Smith)
DE - Granderson, Koonce, Paye, Dallas Turner)
LB - Zaire Franklin, Ernest Jones, Luvu (Kazir White, Gibbens, Holcomb)
S - Fuller, Love, Metellus (T.Adams, Elliot, Neal)
CB - Newsome, Taylor-Britt, Gordon, Horn, Murphy)

I’ve spent months trying to get a QB2, to no avail. Fortunately in this format, IDPers frequently outscore QBs.

I’m planning on taking it week to week up to the trade deadline. If I’m not feeling it, it’s gonna be a fire sale of the olds for future picks. Maybe some middle ground where another team gets to midseason & decides to sell a QB2. Ya never know.
 
This team, which I took over as a orphan rebuild in 2022, surprised me last year as I thought I was still a year away for competing, but instead finished 4th. And this was even after making a truly horrible trade in which I moved Nacua for Mims prior to the preseason. RBs are thin and there isn't a big name stud anchoring my WR corp. But I feel like king of the world at TE.

12 team ppr best ball, start 1 qb, 2 rb, 3 wr, 1 te, 1 r/w/t, k, d

QB - Burrow, Lawrence
RB - Bjian, Warren, Ford, Spears, Miller, Zamir, Laube

Interesting mix of old dudes and young studs. Probably best to train the young pups and get rid of the old dogs.

Yep, that's kinda the plan. The distribution draft (between 4 teams) had very few young RBs, so I prioritized QB/WR and took value at RB. If I'm not competing by mid year, I'll trade off the older dudes for picks and aim for hitting the 2025 draft at RB.

Should hunt. QBs strong for SF, especially if Watson bounces back.

Don’t love your RB, and WR beyond the top 3 are kind of a crap shoot. Might want to package a 2:1 to get an upgrade at one of those positions.

Even for a 10 team league, that roster is illegal in 7 states for being too dangerous!

QB is the biggest weakness on paper, but I suspect Kyler will be top 8+ this year so you should be fine.

Thanks! I finally won last year and I hope to keep it that way. QB needy teams in front of me should push value back to me again this year.

I had a really good draft last year.

If no setbacks at RB, this is a hunting dog. But there’s a lot of risk.

Clearly stacked at WR - I’d suggest taking advantage of the Jamo hype to trade him for RB depth.

Charbs & AJD aren’t gonna cut it if you need a 3rd back for longer than a BYE week, and IMO Williams present value bump has as good a chance of being a dead cat bounce as it is likely to hold.

Last year was the start up. I finished 5th. Made a few big trades this offseason to get deeper. Lack of depth killed me last year, especially in the playoffs.

Depth is always a problem in larger leagues like this. I'd expect to be in that middle range again, likely a playoff team but a lot of things will need to go right to win the 'ship. QB2 is a problem this year, TE is problematic, RB room is super shallow. Again, not uncommon for larger leagues. I suspect with JJM coming online in 25, you'll be in a better place to really compete.

Tldr - hunts, but not a killer (yet)

Hunter. Probably need to bolster your RB room depth, but otherwise in good shape. The beauty of having the #11 this year is that someone will want it and you could very well get a much higher 2025 plus some for that pick during the draft. Personally, I'd cut Kmet or Rochon. Both of those guys are replaceable on your roster.

I agree with the bolded above. It is difficult for me to see a path for Kmet to be a starter. I think you could look at Roschon + Kmet to the Swift owner for another RB?

It's a good looking team though and I think you'll probably be fine without any moves.

Thanks.

One thing I forgot to mention is that defense scores as much, if not more than offense in this format.

A sack for a loss of 6 can be worth 28, for example.

My defense is fairly elite at every position, which helps.

Yeah, I don't have any experience in IDP leagues, so I didn't want to make uneducated comments. I remember you saying it was relatively elite from other threads, though. It's an interesting idea in those specific leagues to go after IDP since your run of the mill GM will go after offensive players first...

Last year’s champ rolled out 1 QB all year and basically had a blank during his BYE week with a backup QB in the spot.

Lots of ways to win in IDP. I think I have a good balance between elite offensive players and gap-fillers. I also expect Chase Brown to be more than a RB3, but I’m higher on him than most. I’m higher on Nico & RS than most as well.

I only need to cut one before draft. I like Rochon more than Kmet, but I like Kmet too. I always thought Swift was an injury just waiting to happen since his days at UGa. And not sure i need 3 TEs even if they are all good options, actually am sure.
There are teams in my league with no TE and wont trade for Kmet. I'm talking not asking for much type of trade, and still nothing. Dude has pick 1.02, would he take Bowers? IDK, maybe.

You should be able to find a buyer for Swift. The dream is somehow still alive for the FF Swifties.
 
i dont have Swiftie. I have Rochon.
I'd be exceptionally surprised if Rochon gets 100 touches this season. Herbert slides into the RB2 slot and I'd expect the touches to be something like this (barring injury):
Waldron's SEA offense gave approximately 405 touches to RBs in 2023. I expect similar results in CHI.

Swift: 50% 200 touches
Herbert: 30% 120 touches
Rochon: 10% 45 touches
others: 10% 40 touches

This tracks pretty well with Swift's 14 touches per game over his career.

How’s his career record of staying healthy factor into that model?
:oldunsure:
It doesn't because we cannot predict injury base on the past.
No, but we can accurately identify a player who has been injured quite often in his young career.

You’re using “touches per game”, so it’s probably also worth noting that he’s missed a lot of games, starting 4, 4, 8, and last year 15.

If he only makes 4-8 starts this year, the available touches for Roschon & Herbert go up substantially.

Personally, I’m avoiding this whole backfield if I can help it, but it’s certainly in the spectrum of possible outcomes that a non-Swift RB leads the Bears in touches.
 
12 teams, hybrid keeper/dynasty league, PPR, 1 QB 1RB 3WR 1 TE 1DEF 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE)
Can keep as many players as you want, but lose draft picks starting in round 2. Everyone has a 1st round pick.

QB - Tua, Richardson, Stafford (cut candidate)
RB - Taylor, Javonte Williams, Keaton Mitchell, K. Herbert, D. Foreman, AJ Dillon (thinking of cutting last 3)
WR - Nabers (expect to land in the draft), London, Aiyuk, Higgins, D. Hopkins, M. Wilson, J. Hyatt (last 2 are cut candidates)
TE - Kelce, Friermuth
K - D. Hopkins (likely cut, pick up a K late)
DEF - Dallas (likely cut, pick up a D late. Served me well the last couple of seasons, but don't think they will be as high scoring with Quinn gone)

Lot of potential, but a lot of question marks. RB depth is weak, but only have to start 1. Feels like a .500 team to me, unless everything breaks exactly right.

RB is very thin and can’t survive any kind of injury or poor play from Taylor. WR room is good but lacks the real punch it probably needs. You need Nabers to be a star quickly. Richardson and Kelce could give you a nice advantage at those positions but I think this team needs some breaks to be in the hunt.
