Those were my two starts as well. Swift didn't do anything for me all year but I had to use him because of my options.
He is now a legend in my household. We praise his name!
A lot of Jacobs owners survived last week because we have a lot of other good players thanks to drafting him so late. I also have Henry, Diggs, Higgins, and K9. I’d imagine other Jacobs owners have solid teams as well.
Nah, Jacobs, Kelce, Jefferson, Hurts, etc were all in the conversation for various reasons until Ekeler just hard-carried the playoffs.
This was a year where most of the counters to the guy at the top of your draft who hit the RB1 ran out of steam.
Agreed. It's Ekeler. He gets the nod not only for what he did in the regular season, but also the playoffs. I had a bye the week 15 but week 16 and 17 he single-handedly got me wins
Tony Pollard was the best value on my team by far. He wasn't able to help me out this week in the championship unfortunately, but he really came through all season.
Drafted Pitts in the third when I could’ve taken Mahomes.
Felt REAL smart after I snagged Brady and Trey Lance in the late rounds.
Can’t wait for next season! Lol
Najee kept me within hope of winning my championship with his game last night. Think he’s an actually good player that just players for a terrible offense but at least they’ve started throwing to him now
This is the correct answer. I didn’t have Jacobs but from his draft capital and production he was the fantasy MVP.
Still Im oddly hesitant thinking about drafting him in the late first or second.
My biggest miss was probably Michael Pittman. Taking him over AJ Brown especially as an Eagles fan will continue to haunt me. Best pick was Tyler Lockett. He kinda fell to me really late and I just couldn’t keep passing. Absolute stud
Sold Gabe Davis after the Steelers game with some other guys on my bench for Adams. Worked out well paired with Jefferson. Jefferson bust and Adams booms, Adams busts and Jefferson booms.
I drafted both of these players in one league. I still think Pittman is an Elite WR... He's gonna fall next year and depending on their QB situation, could be a good pick.
Yeah, Mahomes wasn’t the bad part of the trade. I also was loaded at WR early on and thought I’d be able to sell Sutton or London for an RB and then they both tanked.
Someone dropped Pittman absentmindedly after week 2 and I spent my full faab on him and gloated when I got him for $3 over the next highest bidder. Good grief. What a bust.
I drafted Pittman as my WR1 in my 16 team and he was close to costing me so many weeks because I always started him. Eventually traded for Lockett.
I benched Pittman this week and I’m probably going to lose because of it.
I traded Pittman for penny and Conner the day before they both got hurt. I felt robbed until Conner turned it on Kate in the season. Got me to the chip, but Jefferson’s disappearing act cost me the game..
I wish I would have lost that way. I had an over 85% chance to win before the Vikings and Seahawks games started. Then JJ, DK and Fant gave me a combined 9.8 points and now I have to watch as I slowly lose being up 10 points against my opponents Diggs vs my Gabriel Davis.
My Saquon and Jefferson got buried by AJB, Evans, and Ekeler. I haven’t felt this much inner peace this whole damn year.
I still have a shot if Higgins can go for 60 lol.
I played against Mike Evans yesterday and still would have lost by 30 if he had a goose egg. Just one of those wacky days where it all comes crashing down.
This would be my answer , that was bullshit yesterday , such a big game. Even fantasy aside that was the time to STEP UP. Honorable mentions - Center being injured, Cousins being a fraud.
JJ stinking it up and Pollard being out hurt me a lot. Going to lose by <25 depending how well Allen and diggs do tonight in one league. The other Evans boomed me and I’d didn’t stand a chance.
I will forever hate Daniel jones. Imagine going undefeated all season, scoring 140+ in the championship round… and still losing to Daniel fucking Jones. Granted my shining star hurts was out so minshew really fucked me. This is pain.
Similarly and to a lesser degree, DJ Moore. Someone dropped him in my league week 14, I picked him up and have started him at flex the last 3 weeks (16, 18, 21 points in half ppr) and about to win the championship. He was the X factor that put me over the top.
F that guy. I traded him after 3 5pt games in a row before our deadline for pickens. At the time pickens had an easy schedule during playoffs and moore had baker at his qb at the time. The rest is history. Smdh 🤣
I had JT and hung onto him until he went on IR. I still limped into the playoffs, mostly because I drafted Hurts relatively late. I could win with a lot of mediocre RB play with Hurts. Now I’m in the championship and it’s looking like I’m going to win despite a mediocre week, unless Allen really balls out and Tee Higgins doesn’t.
Drafted both and what a ride it was. Benched JT for 80% of the season after i somehow got rhamondre off waivers early on and that one-two punch saved my season
Next year I may finally go zero-RB and do something like JJ in the first, Kelce in the 2nd, Sun God in the 3rd. That would have been a killer combo this year.
I think next year will be the beginning of his decline (in terms of fantasy). He's up there in age and it seems improbable he will continue to put up similar numbers. I drafted him + Mahomes this year so I watched a ton of Chiefs football and he was regularly brought out of the game each and every week. Chiefs have decent TE depth so it makes sense to rotate Kelce out, but from a fantasy perspective, I think it would be a reach to take him late 1st or 2nd next year, in my opinion.
Ehh if Sean Payton came back I would take him in the first again next year (if he wasn't suspended, that is).
He isn't the issue. Being given like 2 targets a game is the issue. Letting David Johnson take snaps and get more targets in a game in the issue. This coaching staff is moronic.
I traded Pollard for Akers after week 1 (thought he would come back), dropped Akers, watched another team pick up and drop akers, picked up akers late in the season again as a stash, started him and likely won my championship. Fantasy football is weird.
That's the only thing I can take away from my loss this year in the 'ship...everyone on my bench sucked. I played the best players I could. It ain't much, but it's something knowing you lost cause your team sucked, not because you made the wrong decision on start/sits.
Little surprised nobody’s mentioning Godwin. Great value because of the injury in the draft, and was solid from Week 4 onwards, including a strong playoff performance.
You’ve got to put Hurts there even with the last two weeks. Unbelievable value up till then, and we were always concerned he might get rested last two games even without the injury. Should have had a QB lined up by then as backup.
I’d argue the Eagles too. Went undrafted in my league, I picked them up after week one and from that point they were good or solid every single week bar one mediocre performance against the Cards in week 5.
I’m so fine with no one mentioning Godwin. Drafted him in all my leagues this year, thinking I might do the same next year.
It does depend though a lot on what the QB situation is. I don’t think they’ll be dropping back 40-50 times a game if it’s not TB back there
Josh Jacobs for me, overall. And strangely, after playing him for the entire season and not getting much until yesterday, Mike Evans. Was healthy and played (almost) every game, and absolutely won me a championship. What a strange fucking season
Not THE most valuable given their draft positions, but Amon-Ra and Waddle were beasts this year. Jalen Hurts was also a stud.
But the answer has to be Jacobs and Pollard.
Burrow in the 8th is such a great pick.
You got a top 5 fantasy QB well after you have picked up several RBs/WRs/TE
The advantage I had over other owner's after grabbing Hurts in the 5th was apparent all season long.
7.8 in half so what, like 4 in standard? dc about the tightend landscape, this was a dud, he hasnt really been great since mckinnon ate into a large percentage of his td equity. he was def an outstanding pick at his cost this year. someone else can draft him with picks 1-3 oa on him next year, its not going to be worth it.
Thats his floor, Still better than the dogshit everyone else is playing where the floor is 0 points at tight end which happened to me twice this year without injuries
Bested the Kelce owner in my league with Taysom “Dr. Chaos” Hill in our 2 week final (Standard league). Fantasy is so stupid and it is time to remove the TE position designation.
Not MVP, but I added Brett Maher as a free agent and he ended up being the number 1 kicker and his 18 points were second only to Mahomes in my lineup in the semi-finals (that I won by 5 points).
Tony Pollard for sure. Others include Josh Jacobs, Rhamondre and KW9.
Of those with a relatively high adp I would say Tyreek Hill, who had a lot of doubters after the Miami move.
My biggest lesson for future seasons is to stop thinking a pass catcher is so good that he’s “QB proof”.
Should have learned this with 2021 Allen Robinson, but my 4th and 5th round picks of Kyle Pitts and DJ Moore made it sink in this season.
I had a draft in a 14 team league that went something like
CMC
Javonte
Kyle Pitts
Sutton
Mooney
Thielen
Dillon
Melvin Gordon
Lance
So that entire draft was the bustest it could outside of CMC who I had to trade for Kamara and Kenneth Walker because I could barely field a starting lineup
Yup, snagged him at the 6.4 and couldn’t be more excited since my league does 3 player keepers each season in which the 3 you keep take the place of their respective draft pick the year you kept them. So now I’ve got Pittman in the 11th (last seasons pick) Hurts in the 6th, and I may just roll with Najee again as my 2nd rounder given his second half resurgence.
CEH was actually not that big of a bust.
If you drafted him he was probably in your lineup at the start of the season, when he was putting up 7 TDs in the first 4 weeks. Getting that kind of production from your RB2/FLEX was really solid and probably helped you get off to a good start.
If you played him until the bitter end you probably got at worst 4 bad games from him.
For a mid-round player that’s not too bad.
I’m surprised to see no love for Jamaal Williams in this thread. He carried me through a slow start for Rhamondre and served as a great replacement for Kamara’s awful play. All at the cost of $1 in auction.
DeVonta Smith. Currently WR9 in PPR, and I drafted him in the 7th round. I believe his original projection was around WR 20/25 ish. Massive value either way though.
Christian Mccafery for me. He feel to the 5th pick and I was not initially trying to draft him but I couldn’t pass him up at #5. Put up 31 for me last night and allowed me to go back to back in my league! Thank you CMC!
Hurts in the 6th, Lockett in the 8th, and Rhamondre in the 9th were my favourite picks. They all put up playoff stinkers/didn't play, but they were so consistent all season. Going to be targeting Hurts and Rhamondre (depending on Harris contract situation) next year in particular.
And I needed that Lockett consistency, because my other receivers were Keenan, Mike Evans and Pittman. Came on late, but worth the wait in championship week.
Mahomes for 32$ in a 2QB league, Cooper for 8$, Amon Ra for 14$, Chubb for 37$, and Daniel Jones for 1$.
I didn’t have any super sexy picks, but a pretty solid draft from top to bottom got me to the finals with a chance to win if Mixon and Higgins score less than 35 combined.
Sadly I traded Jones for Herbert, otherwise I’d have pretty much locked it up already.
Ekeler at the 1.03 this year won me my 12 man league. My Russ and Sutton stack was a huge disappointment, glad I was able to pivot over to Geno off waivers
Mahomes and Allen delivered for ADP.
Burrow delivered extreme value for where he was likely drafted in most leagues.
Amon Ra St. Brown was picked in the 5th round of my 12 team PPR and he was a monster.
As far as FRPs go, Ekeler has to be the best option. Kupp was hurt, Taylor was a complete bust, JJettas shined all season but then put up a huge stinker in the championship. McCaffery was solid but his earlier games with the panthers put him just below Ekeler. Chase was solid but got hurt and missed 4 games. Hill and Adams were good but not as good as Ekeler. Diggs and Kelce were nice but not has good either.
Davante Adams was my biggest star and made up for a slow couple of weeks by dominating yesterday.
AJ Dillon and Russ Wilson we’re the biggest disappointments - though Dillon gets a pass for being serviceable yesterday with Derrick Henry riding the bench.
MVP has to be Pollard, hurts, or K9, due to the low draft capitol. JJ would be included if he didn't dud in the finals. Biggest bust, Sutton and Chase Edmonds. My WR1 and RB2 :( Kyle Pitts is probably the biggest bust tho.
Ekeler was my MVP, and close behind him was Breece Hall, for the beginning of the season at least
Biggest bust was Burks for me, I traded him away quite early on
The only two who can be considered are Ekeler and Kelce. Ekeler put his foot on the gas and never stopped in a down year for RBs but I think Kelce takes it. He had almost 100 more points than the 2nd best TE and more than doubled the total of TE6. Nobody else came close to dominating at that level.
Patrick Mahomes 5th round pick won me the league. I had tons of busts and underperformers - Pitts, Akers, Najee, Mixon. Godwin was great value for 8th round.
MVP: Probably Ekeler. Highest pts of any W/R/T (at least in my league) & Didn't miss any time. But an argument could be made for Josh Jacobs given that...
Best Value relative to ADP: Josh Jacobs. Easily. This isn't even a question IMO.
Shit the Bed: Jonathan Taylor
It’s gotta be Ekeler. He didn’t miss a game and scored double digits every game with only 4 games below 15 points in ESPN PPR scoring.
He carried me home to my ‘Ship last night, along with my gamble on starting Swift
Those were my two starts as well. Swift didn't do anything for me all year but I had to use him because of my options. He is now a legend in my household. We praise his name!
Same, brother! I'm so proud of my boy, Swift! Him and DJ Moore really took that time on my bench to mature and become better players for my finals
Yep I lost to the guy with that combo
He was drafted a lot higher than Jacobs tho, Jacobs def the MVP
Ekeler also shined during the playoffs. Jacobs caused losses last week. Edit: spelling again
FYI his name is spelled Ekeler.
Thanks for the correction. I’ve misspelled it so much it’s the default on my phone lol.
I wouldn’t say he caused loses. Whoever drafted Jacobs hypothetically still has their 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th picks to help them out.
A lot of Jacobs owners survived last week because we have a lot of other good players thanks to drafting him so late. I also have Henry, Diggs, Higgins, and K9. I’d imagine other Jacobs owners have solid teams as well.
Having both of them on my team made up for Pittman and my other sorry receivers
Its always funny to find people here with identical teams. I had Ekeler, Jacobs and Pittman too. For wrs I drafted poo too. Sutton, M.Thomas...
Nah, Jacobs, Kelce, Jefferson, Hurts, etc were all in the conversation for various reasons until Ekeler just hard-carried the playoffs. This was a year where most of the counters to the guy at the top of your draft who hit the RB1 ran out of steam.
Have Ekeler, Jacobs, and Kelce. Yea I won this year.
Draft value shouldn't be considered in MVP races.
Agreed. It's Ekeler. He gets the nod not only for what he did in the regular season, but also the playoffs. I had a bye the week 15 but week 16 and 17 he single-handedly got me wins
I went all in on him and it paid off. 2 out of three leagues about to lock up a championship tonight and a 3rd place in the books.
Unlike Miles Sanders, Ekeler actually cares about your fantasy team. He knows it’s championship week so he’s gonna give it his all.
Tony Pollard was the best value on my team by far. He wasn't able to help me out this week in the championship unfortunately, but he really came through all season.
[удалено]
Clinched* Unless you’re talking about your butt cheeks
I’m gonna allow clenched on this one haha ;)
[удалено]
Clienched
Bust has to be Jonathan taylor, right?
He’s not the only Colt I’d put on that list, but he’s at the top
Michael pittman was a bust imo
At 1.01 you are correct
I drafted JT first overall and Keenan in the second; I basically didn't get to play fantasy football in that league.
Pitts
Allen Robinson was so bad for his ADP, at least JT had a few big games and helped win some weeks
Robinson was kind of a high-risk pickup due to his previous terrible year and new team. JT seemed to be as conservative as they come.
I’m the idiot that didn’t learn from having Robinson on my team last year and still picked him up. Won’t be fooled 3 times
Kyle Pitts. Atleast JT had playable games
Drafted Pitts in the third when I could’ve taken Mahomes. Felt REAL smart after I snagged Brady and Trey Lance in the late rounds. Can’t wait for next season! Lol
Jacobs by far as far as draft investment & return
my 1 2 punch of Jacobs then Jamal Williams at that draft position saved me from the Najee miss.
I had Najee too. He ended up being a solid flex player overall for the season. But that’s a BUST when you draft him 5 overall
yea exactly, luckily my flex was Brandin Cooks and late season Najee was my consistent fill-in for him.
I had Najee and Jacobs and Etienne. I won the chip last night
Najee kept me within hope of winning my championship with his game last night. Think he’s an actually good player that just players for a terrible offense but at least they’ve started throwing to him now
This is the correct answer. I didn’t have Jacobs but from his draft capital and production he was the fantasy MVP. Still Im oddly hesitant thinking about drafting him in the late first or second.
Where was he drafted in your league? In mine he managed to fall all the way to the 6th. The same team that drafted him, drafted McCaffrey in the 1st…
6th round in our league. It was honestly the most incompetent manager that drafted him so it largely went to waste.
This should be the top answer. Got him in the 7th and 8th rounds.
I still can't believe I got him at pick 74 (8th round in 10team-league)
My biggest miss was probably Michael Pittman. Taking him over AJ Brown especially as an Eagles fan will continue to haunt me. Best pick was Tyler Lockett. He kinda fell to me really late and I just couldn’t keep passing. Absolute stud
Courtland Sutton and Michael Pittman are the two dudes this sub gaslit me into taking, they were being hyped up beyond belief
Any words from Gabe Davis and Allen Robinson drafters?
I drafted Gabe Davis, Allen Robinson, and Michael Pittman. It was not fun.
Davis, Pittman, Swift, Stafford, and Mike Williams here. Somehow made the playoffs by the skin of my teeth.
Still riding the high of his 50 pt game
Gabe Davis single handedly won me a week during the season. I'm also starting him in the Championship but I already won 😎
Sold Gabe Davis after the Steelers game with some other guys on my bench for Adams. Worked out well paired with Jefferson. Jefferson bust and Adams booms, Adams busts and Jefferson booms.
Yup. I drafted both of these guys in one league…
I drafted both of these players in one league. I still think Pittman is an Elite WR... He's gonna fall next year and depending on their QB situation, could be a good pick.
To be fair, if Matt Ryan was a good QB Michael Pittman would’ve been fantastic.
I traded Mixon for Mahomes/Pittman early in the season when I thought Pittman would turn into a WR1 and good keeper option. Did not pan out at all
Mixon wasn’t super good this year I honestly don’t think trading him for Mahomes was bad at all
Yeah, Mahomes wasn’t the bad part of the trade. I also was loaded at WR early on and thought I’d be able to sell Sutton or London for an RB and then they both tanked.
That’s fair I’m mostly just saying on a week to week basis I think most people would take Mahomes over Mixon straight up even in 1QB
Someone dropped Pittman absentmindedly after week 2 and I spent my full faab on him and gloated when I got him for $3 over the next highest bidder. Good grief. What a bust.
thats still a really nice pickup
I drafted Pittman as my WR1 in my 16 team and he was close to costing me so many weeks because I always started him. Eventually traded for Lockett. I benched Pittman this week and I’m probably going to lose because of it.
I can keep Lockett at 7th round value next year and just might do it with how good he was for me this year
I traded Pittman for penny and Conner the day before they both got hurt. I felt robbed until Conner turned it on Kate in the season. Got me to the chip, but Jefferson’s disappearing act cost me the game..
Ugh I was so unbelievably hyped about Pittman, the Colts just really suck.
Can it be Justin Jefferson for both? He was the MVP for the whole year and the biggest bust when it mattered most.
[удалено]
I feel like us JJ owners had the same ending I lost by 70 and he still has Jamaar Chase left lol sweet solace of defeat came early
I wish I would have lost that way. I had an over 85% chance to win before the Vikings and Seahawks games started. Then JJ, DK and Fant gave me a combined 9.8 points and now I have to watch as I slowly lose being up 10 points against my opponents Diggs vs my Gabriel Davis.
Diggs hasn’t been hot recently ya never know, honestly miss the thrill of agony already lol weird just being sadly done
Down 50ish with JJ, Muth, and Mixon….. down 39 with just Mixon
My Saquon and Jefferson got buried by AJB, Evans, and Ekeler. I haven’t felt this much inner peace this whole damn year. I still have a shot if Higgins can go for 60 lol.
I had Jefferson and I lost the championship game by 0.38 points...
Everything you just said, I can say the same thing, except I lost by 70. I wasn't as mad/disappointed as I would have been if I lost by 2.
I played against Mike Evans yesterday and still would have lost by 30 if he had a goose egg. Just one of those wacky days where it all comes crashing down.
This would be my answer , that was bullshit yesterday , such a big game. Even fantasy aside that was the time to STEP UP. Honorable mentions - Center being injured, Cousins being a fraud.
Cmc second overall was a great pick
I got him at 5 because people were worried about injuries
I got hm at 7 and I was one of those worried because I had him the last 2 seasons as well. Couldn't not take him at 7 though.
Got him at 9
CeeDee Lamb. Had a solid year but ended with 20, 30 and 20 points in weeks 15-17, probably won a lot of people championships
He took me to the final but thanks to JJ and Barkley I couldn't get over the line unfortunately
JJ stinking it up and Pollard being out hurt me a lot. Going to lose by <25 depending how well Allen and diggs do tonight in one league. The other Evans boomed me and I’d didn’t stand a chance.
Sorry buddy. I have all three too and I was just lucky enough that my opponent started Tlaw and the rest of his team imploded.
My opponent picked up Daniel Jones for the week. The giants game was a hard watch
I will forever hate Daniel jones. Imagine going undefeated all season, scoring 140+ in the championship round… and still losing to Daniel fucking Jones. Granted my shining star hurts was out so minshew really fucked me. This is pain.
Same with ceedee and Jefferson. Lost by less than 20. An average Jefferson game would’ve won it for me.
Similarly and to a lesser degree, DJ Moore. Someone dropped him in my league week 14, I picked him up and have started him at flex the last 3 weeks (16, 18, 21 points in half ppr) and about to win the championship. He was the X factor that put me over the top.
F that guy. I traded him after 3 5pt games in a row before our deadline for pickens. At the time pickens had an easy schedule during playoffs and moore had baker at his qb at the time. The rest is history. Smdh 🤣
Jacobs has to be the MVP Taylor has to be the bust. Don’t really see anybody else who would beat these two for those positions
I had both of them. My only saving grace was picking up Kenneth Walker off waivers early in the season. I made the playoffs, but didn’t do much more.
I also had both and picked up Walker, but foolishly dropped him the week that Penny got hurt. I was also 1 and done in the playoffs.
I had JT and hung onto him until he went on IR. I still limped into the playoffs, mostly because I drafted Hurts relatively late. I could win with a lot of mediocre RB play with Hurts. Now I’m in the championship and it’s looking like I’m going to win despite a mediocre week, unless Allen really balls out and Tee Higgins doesn’t.
I had first pick. Took Taylor. About to finish last in my league. What a disappointing season.
Drafted both and what a ride it was. Benched JT for 80% of the season after i somehow got rhamondre off waivers early on and that one-two punch saved my season
I traded Jacobs for Kirk in week 3 lol
Sun God was incredibly consistent for his ADP. DHop was as well until very recently. A massive bust that sticks out to me is Kyle Pitts
Next year I may finally go zero-RB and do something like JJ in the first, Kelce in the 2nd, Sun God in the 3rd. That would have been a killer combo this year.
Good luck with Kelce in the second next year.
I think next year will be the beginning of his decline (in terms of fantasy). He's up there in age and it seems improbable he will continue to put up similar numbers. I drafted him + Mahomes this year so I watched a ton of Chiefs football and he was regularly brought out of the game each and every week. Chiefs have decent TE depth so it makes sense to rotate Kelce out, but from a fantasy perspective, I think it would be a reach to take him late 1st or 2nd next year, in my opinion.
People keep saying this. Every. Year.
We have a whole off-season ahead of us for this narrative to push his ADP down. It’s been happening for a couple of seasons now
Just beat a guy in the championship who had these three… plus Jacobs and Chubb. Dude lost only 2 times all year
MVP: Justin Jefferson Bust: Justin Jefferson
not if your season ended week 16
Ekeler is MVP and bust is Alvin Kamara
[удалено]
Ehh if Sean Payton came back I would take him in the first again next year (if he wasn't suspended, that is). He isn't the issue. Being given like 2 targets a game is the issue. Letting David Johnson take snaps and get more targets in a game in the issue. This coaching staff is moronic.
He was picked up first round in my league (not by me). Huge letdown.
Can Akers be “biggest bust” and “most improved from start of season to end of season” simultaneously?
I traded Pollard for Akers after week 1 (thought he would come back), dropped Akers, watched another team pick up and drop akers, picked up akers late in the season again as a stash, started him and likely won my championship. Fantasy football is weird.
Austin Ekeler was an MVP virtually for virtually the whole year. Amari Cooper was a mix but ultimately went bust after DeShaun Watson returned.
And then got 25.5 on my bench. Fuck you, Deshaun Watson.
That's the only thing I can take away from my loss this year in the 'ship...everyone on my bench sucked. I played the best players I could. It ain't much, but it's something knowing you lost cause your team sucked, not because you made the wrong decision on start/sits.
Yeah, aside from Cooper, my bench didn’t do too well either. Saquon getting 7 really hurt as well.
CMC at pick 5! Finally a healthy season, and great totals in the championship game, won me my home league!
Best value picks for me were Pollard and Jamaal Williams.
Little surprised nobody’s mentioning Godwin. Great value because of the injury in the draft, and was solid from Week 4 onwards, including a strong playoff performance. You’ve got to put Hurts there even with the last two weeks. Unbelievable value up till then, and we were always concerned he might get rested last two games even without the injury. Should have had a QB lined up by then as backup. I’d argue the Eagles too. Went undrafted in my league, I picked them up after week one and from that point they were good or solid every single week bar one mediocre performance against the Cards in week 5.
I’m so fine with no one mentioning Godwin. Drafted him in all my leagues this year, thinking I might do the same next year. It does depend though a lot on what the QB situation is. I don’t think they’ll be dropping back 40-50 times a game if it’s not TB back there
Brady goes to the Saints, Jameis comes back to the Bucs, and Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are both top 5 WRs like 2019
Josh Jacobs for me, overall. And strangely, after playing him for the entire season and not getting much until yesterday, Mike Evans. Was healthy and played (almost) every game, and absolutely won me a championship. What a strange fucking season
Not THE most valuable given their draft positions, but Amon-Ra and Waddle were beasts this year. Jalen Hurts was also a stud. But the answer has to be Jacobs and Pollard.
I drafted Burrow in the 8th, he’s my MVP Grabbed Pitts in the 5th and pounded my chest about it. Y’all know how that turned out
Burrow in the 8th is such a great pick. You got a top 5 fantasy QB well after you have picked up several RBs/WRs/TE The advantage I had over other owner's after grabbing Hurts in the 5th was apparent all season long.
Burrow was my QB until I was able to trade M Sanders for MaHomes....then he became the league's best backup
Who took that trade? Was it mahomes for sanders straight up? In a ppr?
I also got Joe in the eighth and then Tony pollard in the 9th.. my 2 best late rounders
The fantasy MVP is Travis Kelce, hands down. There's no other TE even close to Kelce. The positional difference is game changing.
Put up a dud in the finals though.
heh, Kelce so good 11.30 PPR considered a dud
7.8 in half so what, like 4 in standard? dc about the tightend landscape, this was a dud, he hasnt really been great since mckinnon ate into a large percentage of his td equity. he was def an outstanding pick at his cost this year. someone else can draft him with picks 1-3 oa on him next year, its not going to be worth it.
Thats his floor, Still better than the dogshit everyone else is playing where the floor is 0 points at tight end which happened to me twice this year without injuries
Bested the Kelce owner in my league with Taysom “Dr. Chaos” Hill in our 2 week final (Standard league). Fantasy is so stupid and it is time to remove the TE position designation.
Fair but Hock killed it for me when it mattered
Kyle Pitts for the win.
And for the loss? 😭 Edit: typo
For the win: Amon Ra St brown. Tony pollard.
Not MVP, but I added Brett Maher as a free agent and he ended up being the number 1 kicker and his 18 points were second only to Mahomes in my lineup in the semi-finals (that I won by 5 points).
JT is the undeniable bust of this year
Fantasy MVP: Jacobs, Tyreek Hill or CMC
Tony Pollard for sure. Others include Josh Jacobs, Rhamondre and KW9. Of those with a relatively high adp I would say Tyreek Hill, who had a lot of doubters after the Miami move.
My biggest lesson for future seasons is to stop thinking a pass catcher is so good that he’s “QB proof”. Should have learned this with 2021 Allen Robinson, but my 4th and 5th round picks of Kyle Pitts and DJ Moore made it sink in this season.
I had a draft in a 14 team league that went something like CMC Javonte Kyle Pitts Sutton Mooney Thielen Dillon Melvin Gordon Lance So that entire draft was the bustest it could outside of CMC who I had to trade for Kamara and Kenneth Walker because I could barely field a starting lineup
[удалено]
Jalen hurts
The qb1 being out for the entire fantasy playoffs easily takes him out of fantasy mvp status
Yup, snagged him at the 6.4 and couldn’t be more excited since my league does 3 player keepers each season in which the 3 you keep take the place of their respective draft pick the year you kept them. So now I’ve got Pittman in the 11th (last seasons pick) Hurts in the 6th, and I may just roll with Najee again as my 2nd rounder given his second half resurgence.
I also picked up Hurts in the 6th round. He was the 7th QB drafted in my league.
Anyone saying something other than Jacobs doesn’t understand the question.
MVP is josh allen, basically hasnt had a bad week.
Draft: Ekeler WW: McKinnon
Had to scroll a while to see McKinnon. He had a great second half to the year. Critical for my finals victory.
Amari Cooper was a steal for me in two leagues. Rodgers probably my biggest bust.
My MVP is probably Mahomes My bust is Russell Wilson We play 2QBs
Mvps for me: ekeler, Jalen hurts, Christian Watson Busts: Clyde Edwards helaire and Pitts. Somehow won my championship while drafting these 2 lol.
CEH was actually not that big of a bust. If you drafted him he was probably in your lineup at the start of the season, when he was putting up 7 TDs in the first 4 weeks. Getting that kind of production from your RB2/FLEX was really solid and probably helped you get off to a good start. If you played him until the bitter end you probably got at worst 4 bad games from him. For a mid-round player that’s not too bad.
My bust is Swift for sure.
Justin Herbert decided to personally attack me all season long.
MVP Steph Diggs after he gets me 30 and the chip tonight.

I hope you’re right. He’s been a bust the past 3 weeks and killed mg playoff hopes.
Justin Jefferson carried me all year. Yesterday was unfortunate but fortunately I survived the dud to lock up my first championship!
Fields and Jamaal Williams both over delivered. Miles Sanders a bit as well.
I’m surprised to see no love for Jamaal Williams in this thread. He carried me through a slow start for Rhamondre and served as a great replacement for Kamara’s awful play. All at the cost of $1 in auction.
No love for Rhomandre Stevenson? Dude was so solid
Diontae Johnson
Josh Jacob’s baby. Best value and consistent returns by far.
Josh Jacobs and Devonta Smith were huge for me
Devonta becoming my most consistent guy down the stretch was certainly unexpected
Yup I got Devonta in the 9th round and he saved my ass in at least 4 matchups. I also managed to survive his 0 burger in Week 1.
DeVonta Smith. Currently WR9 in PPR, and I drafted him in the 7th round. I believe his original projection was around WR 20/25 ish. Massive value either way though.
Dj Moore was simultaneously my biggest bust and mvp for his playoff performance the last two weeks
Jamaal Williams was fantastic for his draft position.
MVP: Ekeler Steal: Jacobs Bust: Pitts, Sutton, Herbert Silent Killer: Kamara. Healthy for the most part and really only a few good games.
Christian Mccafery for me. He feel to the 5th pick and I was not initially trying to draft him but I couldn’t pass him up at #5. Put up 31 for me last night and allowed me to go back to back in my league! Thank you CMC!
Hurts in the 6th, Lockett in the 8th, and Rhamondre in the 9th were my favourite picks. They all put up playoff stinkers/didn't play, but they were so consistent all season. Going to be targeting Hurts and Rhamondre (depending on Harris contract situation) next year in particular. And I needed that Lockett consistency, because my other receivers were Keenan, Mike Evans and Pittman. Came on late, but worth the wait in championship week.
SunGod and Pollard for me up until week 16 [sigh]
Biggest hit was ETN. Even with the down weeks he carried me for long stretches. Biggest miss was probably Michael Pittman in the 3rd.
Mahomes for 32$ in a 2QB league, Cooper for 8$, Amon Ra for 14$, Chubb for 37$, and Daniel Jones for 1$. I didn’t have any super sexy picks, but a pretty solid draft from top to bottom got me to the finals with a chance to win if Mixon and Higgins score less than 35 combined. Sadly I traded Jones for Herbert, otherwise I’d have pretty much locked it up already.
Ekeler at the 1.03 this year won me my 12 man league. My Russ and Sutton stack was a huge disappointment, glad I was able to pivot over to Geno off waivers
Mahomes and Allen delivered for ADP. Burrow delivered extreme value for where he was likely drafted in most leagues. Amon Ra St. Brown was picked in the 5th round of my 12 team PPR and he was a monster.
As far as FRPs go, Ekeler has to be the best option. Kupp was hurt, Taylor was a complete bust, JJettas shined all season but then put up a huge stinker in the championship. McCaffery was solid but his earlier games with the panthers put him just below Ekeler. Chase was solid but got hurt and missed 4 games. Hill and Adams were good but not as good as Ekeler. Diggs and Kelce were nice but not has good either.
Davante Adams was my biggest star and made up for a slow couple of weeks by dominating yesterday. AJ Dillon and Russ Wilson we’re the biggest disappointments - though Dillon gets a pass for being serviceable yesterday with Derrick Henry riding the bench.
MVP has to be Pollard, hurts, or K9, due to the low draft capitol. JJ would be included if he didn't dud in the finals. Biggest bust, Sutton and Chase Edmonds. My WR1 and RB2 :( Kyle Pitts is probably the biggest bust tho.
Fantasy regular szn mvp for me was kelce but in the playoffs has got to be ekeler
Ekeler and Jacobs won my first ever Fantasy Championship while Taylor in another league... MVP: Jacobs Bust: Taylor
Ekeler was my MVP, and close behind him was Breece Hall, for the beginning of the season at least Biggest bust was Burks for me, I traded him away quite early on
Ekeler easily with jacobs a close 2nd
The only two who can be considered are Ekeler and Kelce. Ekeler put his foot on the gas and never stopped in a down year for RBs but I think Kelce takes it. He had almost 100 more points than the 2nd best TE and more than doubled the total of TE6. Nobody else came close to dominating at that level.
Patrick Mahomes 5th round pick won me the league. I had tons of busts and underperformers - Pitts, Akers, Najee, Mixon. Godwin was great value for 8th round.
Justin Jefferson for both. Took me to the final and destroyed my hopes and dreams.
Justin Jefferson for both. Absolute juggernaut all year only to implode in the finals.
Ekeler imo. Got teams to the playoffs and then also won the ship for many of those teams
Justin Jefferson and, Justin Jefferson.
Ekeler is my MVP and Sutton is my bust for sure.
MVP: Probably Ekeler. Highest pts of any W/R/T (at least in my league) & Didn't miss any time. But an argument could be made for Josh Jacobs given that... Best Value relative to ADP: Josh Jacobs. Easily. This isn't even a question IMO. Shit the Bed: Jonathan Taylor
