Which one of your fellow drafters do you have a beef with because they snagged a guy you were about to take? I loved my Garret Wilson pick and Drake London. I think Wilson is going to be a top 5 WR this year and London top 10. I can’t say I regret any picks but I wouldn’t have minded another veteran running back over someone. Not sure who. The two potential times I was worried about having beef were avoided when Goedert fell to me in the tight end run in the middle of the draft and then @KDB took Gainwell over McKinnon. Side note: I got a D+ draft grade from Yahoo and I am just not seeing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s crap for sure. If a guy goes 50 who was ranked by them at 30 it will think it is awesome….doesn’t even matter if the guy is out for the season…there is no context. It also overvalues running backs. I always get bad grades. Check this team out for example in one league…yahoo game me a D. Mahomes D Adams T Higgins J Jeudy T Kelce M Sanders R White J Williams R Penny DJ Moore M Pittman E Moore S Moore J Sanders (k) Washington who knows who will win the league with injuries etc but that’s a stacked team…and to say that is a D draft is dumb.

JT isn't going to happen and there is no way to ramp up football shape inside of 21 days. With Washington playing Arizona should be ample chances of running and dump downs....I've got some drafts coming up and I'm moving Gibson up a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted August 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Fantasy Football Question of the Day... Do you prefer adjusting your team via trade or by use of waivers and free agency?

It's hard to find a trade partner that is willing to do something that's equally beneficial. Always the wire. Your core (3-4 picks) should stay the same but the league winners are sitting on the waiver pile right now. Just have to wait and hope you strike it rich. That's why I'm going to be a little more cautious this year on waiver wire initially. Want to make my turn really count. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you prefer adjusting your team via trade or by use of waivers and free agency? My answer: I'm more comfortable hitting the waiver wire. It's hard to find a trade partner that is willing to do something that's equally beneficial. I’m comfortable working trades. A waiver pick up is typically a spot start at best. The wire is going to be picked over and if the guy is that good a player he would be drafted or I likely won’t be high enough the wire priority to get him. Trades are really the only way to effect your starting lineup…maybe you trade depth or maybe you trade a star who is struggling or one that is selling high but that’s the best way to infuse life into your team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol…we’ve all accidentally hit the wrong button once in fantasy…but yes I had a guy spam worst player on his team for best on mine all year (2-3 times a week) just hoping I might accidentally hit yes. He even admitted to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a good league you better hope you have high priority. Not saying injuries etc won’t cause a break out player…sure will..relying on luck of the waiver wire to me is too passive. You have to be creative and really build trust in your league but you can make trades happen. Same time a guy loses a star player from injury maybe you have a replacement for him…and maybe that means you can upgrade another of your positions. Draft the best…and stay active. I’m pretty confident there are players on my bench that will become more valuable than any on the waiver wire as the season progresses…either to me or someone else.

Seeking6 Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 This is a pretty good list of league winner players that were available on the wire most of last year. Additionally Kenneth Walker singlehandedly helped me to high points. Tons of talent on the waiver right now. https://www.si.com/fantasy/2023/01/17/waiver-wire-year-review-2022-league-winners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
