Fantasy Football 2022

by **The Pantry** Wed 17 Aug 2022 - 20:36

Work league draft starts tonight. Not on the clock. Past drafts have taken about a week. This one might take 2-3. Commish has decided to post players (at each position) in alphabetical order instead of by ranking. Not liking it. Will have to do more research.

2QB, 3WR, 2RB, 1TE, 1Flex, DEF, 4Bench, 1IR/QB bye week, no kicker

The no clock thing is interesting. Some bitch when no one picks for a while, as happened today. Manager that was up was at a funeral.

What pick you got this year pantry? Also if I remember right doesn't the high scoring make quarterbacks a little more valuable?

My fantasy football revolves around cheerleaders.

4 of 10. Got Mahomes, Mixon, and Kupp so far. Switching it up after taking QB's first two rounds last season and failing horribly.

What I really wanna know is how confident Nigel is of Matt Ryan in Indy...? Fantasy Football 2022 276803595

edit to add: Someone just took Ryan in the 3rd round. They already have Brady. Reach?

Matt Ryan was a Top 30 pick? Suspect

It's a 2 QB league

Indy is going to be pretty solid, I'd expect most of that reason to be Taylor though

I saw that. Unless you have some whacked scoring system that heavily favors QBs, my question remains.

Hard to tell without knowing which QBs (and other players) were already drafted.

All the usual suspects. Almost everyone has picked 2 QBs through 4 rounds...someone even picked Goff. You can only roster 2 QBs except bye weeks or IR. Took Javonte Williams over Saquon Barkley at #4. Will probably pick Trey Lance in the 5th or 6th. Will pick Kenneth Walker III a couple rounds later, but I gotta be careful. One of the other managers is also an MSU alum.

by **The Pantry** Sat 20 Aug 2022 - 18:25

Guy up after me took Barkley. His injury history is what made me go with Williams.

by **Cameron** Sat 20 Aug 2022 - 18:34

My league is running the lottery tonight. I am loaded with extra picks this year after what I am calling a strategic retreat at the end of last season.

by **The Pantry** Sat 20 Aug 2022 - 19:05

Same guy stole my next pick...Stephon Diggs. Took CeeDee Lamb in the 5th round. Thought about Deebo Samuel but wouldn't fit my plan to pick up Lance later.

What is the lottery? How do you get extra picks?

Have Nyheim Hines targeted for a later round pick in case Taylor goes down.

I'd be worried because looking at their roster they don't have much at WR it feels like. Take a flier on Paris Campbell late maybe

Liked T.Y. Hilton for years but he's getting a little long in the tooth. Still keeping an eye on him and Odell to see where they end up.

That remains to be seen, but I like his upside.

Trading picks works just like in real football, except that each team has to net the same number of picks. So when I say extra picks, what I really mean is I have two firsts and two seconds, but no third or seventh. Moved up mostly from trading away Mixon, Herbert, and Kamara last year.

Our lottery is just a bingo ball doodad, and each manager is assigned a certain number of balls based on final standings of previous year. When your ball comes up, you choose your draft slot, since some prefer the back end in snake drafts. I got the fourth pick selection, chose #3. Guy with the best odds ended up with the last pick selection, which ended up being #6.

by **The Pantry** Sun 21 Aug 2022 - 19:24

Got Trey Lance 6th round. Was looking at WR and TE for the 7th. Went Bills DST.

Conner Heyward isn't on the list of draftable players. Gonna write him in my 14th pick.

Still haven't picked a TE. Will probably get Irv Smith (Minnesota) couple picks from now. Figure Heyward is worth a flier in the last round.

by **Dendrobates** Wed 24 Aug 2022 - 19:13

Mine is on Monday. I'm second to last in starting draft.
I will update what I've got.

You picked D before TE? What is the buy in for this league?

It's the scoring. A top DST is better than a top TE over the course of the season. Hope Buffalo doesn't blow it.

One pick away from getting Smith. Think he'll do fine with Cousins.

No money involved but there is a nice trophy to have your name on.

Not an NFL guy, but do CF. D scoring definitely varies by league. One league it is a big factor, the other not so much. I much prefer leagues that D matters.

D adds another element.

But, it seems like defense only matters when some team gets a Pick 6 and Strip Sack TD. When you lose that way, it's kinda bullshit.

by **The Pantry** Thu 25 Aug 2022 - 18:48

Got Walker in the 12th round. Manager up right after me took Rashaad Penny.

by **The Pantry** Sun 28 Aug 2022 - 14:51

Got a "B" on Yahoo's draft report card. Predicted to finish 2nd at 10-4. All meaningless. Figured Beckham (FA) was worth a flier in the 13th...some team will pick him up before bye weeks start. For those unaware, the schedule of byes has changed for this season.

Roster:

League settings on the left, yahoo defaults on the right.

Grab him if still available in your league.

Good thing I drafted KW.

Good thing I didn't trade him last week.

Joe Mixon having a day.

4 TDs in the 1st Half.

He might save my weekend. Has double his projected points already.

Only doubled? Does he get projected points for tying his shoelaces or something?

15 projected in our league. 44 at half.

Picked up Justin Fields a few weeks ago. Dropped Russ Wilson. Fields looks great on my bench with 41 points.

by **The Pantry** Sun 6 Nov 2022 - 18:36

Mixon ended up with 92.19 vs projected 37.69.

Had to pick up Fields because Prescott on a bye. Ended up with 87.95 vs projected 40.06.
