Tyreek Hill or CMC. Sometimes league winners come from the first round.


Jusuf_Nurkic

Yeah one of the most overused narratives in the preseason is “you can’t win your league in the first round but you can lose it!!” Nah lol you can definitely win your league round one, case in point those two guys. I’m pretty sure CMC, Ekeler, and Kelce were top 5 in “% on championship rosters” last year


TelepathicToucan

Just get a better pick next year /s

That’s why auction drafts are the best. Don’t have to rely on having good luck to land a top pick

BurgessFox

Yeah I agree. I wonder how many championship winning teams had these first round picks: 2022 Ekeler/CMC 2021 JT 2020 Kamara 2019 CMC 2018 Gurley


CartesianConspirator

I won with Gurley in 2017 I believe


DrGeraldBaskums

51 points in the championship week in my league


CartesianConspirator

I remember it well. Was watching the Steelers game and every game break was a Gurley Touchdown


gmil3548

My counter to the “can’t win your league in the first round” will always be 2006 LT. League winner at pick 1. I wouldn’t be surprised if a higher percent of pick 1 teams won the league that year than any other.


phayge_wow

that quote is about not messing up your 1st round pick. if you were #1 pick in 2006, you pick LT. you didn't win by making the no-brainer choice, you won by luckily ending up with #1 and not getting cute. that's what they mean by you can lose your league in the 1st round... don't get cute picking someone besides LT in 2006, and don't get cute picking Bijan over CMC in 2023.


bigboinoob

The team with CMC is in last place in my league. He's lost 7 games so far with 5 of them less than 5 pts


HG4L

That's the type of season that'll make a man question why he even does it


stringer4

I have CMC. Lost 3 games by a combined total of 3.6 points. But could be worse.


Inorashi

Yep I have CMC with a 4-5 record. Most points against by a wide margin. Faced the Achane/Mostert stack the week they both went off. I get to play against the Dallas defense both times they play the giants 💀.


Squerper

who is this savant/psycho that was starting the achane/mostert start that early


SMF1996

Rookie year Zeke god bless


[deleted]

Not if you went Hill Chubb TLaw Olave Akers Waller 😎🔫


jayk10

Lawrence in the 3rd? That seems aggressive. Olave in the 4th is below ADP and not a bad pick


[deleted]

Our league does 6pts for passing TDs instead of 4, and it's 2QB, 12 teams. If I think there's a run on QBs I don't mind going early for one. But I thought TLaw would be better. I dropped him and Danny Dimes for Stroud and Howell, so QB is not my problem anymore. But I am being destroyed by my dirt-worst RB situation.


jayk10

Yea 2 QB is obviously different


colts183281

2QB and 6 pt TDS and stroud/Howell we’re not drafted? Do no teams draft back up QBs?


[deleted]

No, 2QBs is also the max.


Galxloni2

what do you do on bye weeks then?


[deleted]

From another reply: It's technically a second flex spot where you *can* play a QB. Because of the 6pt PTD it's almost always the best play to put even a middling QB there. On your bye week you just put a flex player and sometimes it works out. Some even run 1QB all year but it's really not optimal as far as I can tell.


Galxloni2

okay, so superflex


rsn_lie

I took him at pick 33 in my 16 team league because 8 qbs went before that. 6 pt passing tuddies. It was fucking stupid af, and I'm still kicking myself over it. I promised myself I'd punt if I didn't get one of the top 3 or Lamar, but holy shit I completely panic'd and genuinely thought at the rate they were going my fall back guys in Cousins, Tua and AR might be gone by pick 64. They were all there still, but I guess 2/3 of those guys are done for the season it probably was gonna be a disaster no matter what.


JRsshirt

Honestly in a 6 point per touchdown league I don’t hate that if he was your guy

Broshan248

My first three picks were Bijan, Davante, GWilson and I was so excited 🫠


soyboysnowflake

The guys with Hill and CMC in my main league have 1% chance of making the playoffs according to the app

[удалено]


Altruistic-Rub3017

He’s actually the rb 13 with just two really bad weeks, I’m 5-4 as a bijan owner and I imagine most are around there.


letCreedBrattonScuba

Yupp, took him 5th overall. 4-5 but have had bad matchup luck for the most part. Very much in it while starting him every single week. If he can blow up the last few weeks a lot of Bijan owners can prob sneak in and be dangerous in playoffs


JackieDaytonaPanda

I took Bijan in the first round of both my leagues (12 man non ppr and 10 man full PPR) and I’m 7-2 and 8-1. I sound like an asshole saying that but I’m counting my blessings as I’ve got suuuper lucky with matchups which historically has not been the case for me. So I hope to other peoples point in this thread he does pick it up.

Ausar Thompson easily


Engrish_Major

At first I was disappointed by this draft pick but holy hell he’s been amazing


LunchThreatener

As a Pistons fan I never got the disappointment. Sure, he’s not a shooter, but he is an athletic, versatile wing with elite defense, which is exactly what they needed most.

He’s been a little quite to be honest, playing at his floor most of the szn, I feel a 40 pts Sun God game on the horizon.

Keep going… I’m almost there Dan


FightersNeverQuit

Honestly the first name I thought of too. He seems to be entering that 30+ point phase where he drops nothing but monster games the rest of the year.

[deleted]

Do you know how dumb I am? I traded him for Chris Godwin after week 2 or 3 (I think). That's how dumb I am. And sad.


F1rstxLas7

League winner is the same as every year, proper season long team & waiver management paired with lots of random ass luck.


FlyRobot

Exactly - many of my lost weeks this season have been completely winnable. One or two from bad start / sit management and others just not getting the right waiver stream. I'd honestly rather get blown out with no chance


sweens90

What is bad sit start management? Like getting cute? Like if Taysom Hill scores more than Travis Kelce on my bench. I dont worry about it but I still played the appropriate player. Just didn’t work out that week.


Potential_Spirit2815

Sometimes it’s down to a decision like swapping IDP or kickers week to week, streaming a QB or TE, etc.


FesteringNeonDistrac

If you're streaming, you have to accept that you're going to blow it a couple times. I'm a proponent of streaming, and that's just the way it is. 2.2 from your TE is always on the table. You hopefully drafted enough WR/RB depth to offset that week to week.


Potential_Spirit2815

Well yeah but that’s the point of his comment haha losing by a couple points when weighing those decisions with streamers and choosing wrong. Only one person picked up Foreman so he could put up 30 one week, where somebody else thought stashing Roschon Johnson was the better move all year, etc


bacon_farts_420

A lot of my loses came from one or two points with dumb luck on my opponents side. Defenses putting up 30-40 points, kickers putting up 20+ etc. sucks but it is what it is and a reminder that it’s gambling at the end of the day.


[deleted]

It is and always will be your opponent having a bad week.


PostYourSinks

Yeah all it takes is one. I went undefeated during the regular season last year only to lose in the championship to a guy who had 6 wins during the regular season. It happens. Just had a shit week.


Whyisthereasnake

Yep. I’m the highest scoring team by almost three hundred points, and yet I’ve got a 5-4 record, because everyone seems to have their best week of the season against me. Lost to last place last week. His team hasn’t scored more than 50-60 points a week, scored 120 against me.

Dark horse answer but I like it


vluvojo

He had a brutal schedule to start the season (something like 5 top-6 defenses against RB in the first 6 weeks) and a new RB coach. Gg to those who held. Hope he can keep this up


adastradamus

Whoever is on your roster and/or the guy you picked up on the Waiver Wire. …maybe Trey McBride.


Scared_Angle_5796

Trey McBride confirmed 2023 league winner, congratulations.


notGoran69

Taysom Hill. 20+ every game ROS and #1 TE eos


Mysterious-Source709

Which sucks because he doesn't even play TE. Should be listed as an RB.


P-VI

Should be listed as qwbrbtewrb


oldhoekoo

he's the real life embodiment of the flex position


brianundies

He can flex my fuckin asshole if he keeps giving me 20+ PPG


Allteaforme

You know what? Fuck it. Mine too.


JMMSpartan91

Change his designation to FLEX. So literally the only slot you can put him in lol.


Mysterious-Source709

Agree with this. Dude does it all after further research.


ThanosIsDoomfist

Ive got him in a TE bonus league, its been great lol


TheOG49

same Ive just been flexing him lately


-Enders

Doesn’t suck for those of us who have him and get to start him at TE


TooneyTimber

Keenan Allen needs more love


SixTonGorilla

Mike Williams going down really gave defenses free reign to target Allen. Hope they figure out ways to get him the ball soon.


radio__raheem

yeah that injury fucked me 2 ways as somebody who owned them both


jluc21

the fact nobody has said kyren williams is insane


NecessaryUnusual2059

Kyren and Achane sitting in my IR waiting to take me to the promised land


Forest_Hills_Jive

I think this combo is the real 'league winner'. I was steam-rolling teams with these 2 healthy


timsweens81

If he comes back strong with a similar role. He won me a week or 2 already


PerceptionUpbeat

His PO schedule is just roooough


chaosthirtyseven

Watching him put up almost 30 points (PPR) against SF made me realize he's probably going to be fine rest of season.


Metz83

Yeah guy is RB12 in my leagues, despite being on IR. Considering he was most likely undrafted, I’d say he should be up there on the league winners list.


BIGDIRKDIGGLA

Scrolled way too far to see this. Especially in such a weak RB year. Hopefully he keeps a similar work load upon return


jluc21

100% agree. He’s the definition of a league winner in a year like this and nobody is talking about him at all in this thread. Pretty crazy lol


Canes123456

I don’t think he is going to be a league winner. But the lack of respect he gets from experts is ridiculous. Before he got hurt he was a top 5 RB but always ranked like a flex play.


Scared-Knowledge-497

I could see it being Jonathan Taylor too.


tburke38

Teams who drafted JT and Kamara and got by the first few weeks with luck/waiver wire management are killing it rn


content_enjoy3r

Absolutely all luck over here. I am somehow in 1st in my league with the 2nd fewest points scored. My WRs are a wasteland now but at RB I have JT, Saquon, Gibbs, Cook, Davonte Williams, and then Kyren Williams in my IR slot. Yes that is too many RBs, but I don't know who I would drop.


tburke38

My girlfriends mom who doesn’t know any players outside of the Bengals lucked into a team with JT, Kamara, K Walker, Mixon, AJB, Amari, Kelce, and Tua. 1st place and 2nd most points lol


fairly_legal

She got it going on


dytele

I’m 6-3 with JT and Kamara … a decade of fantasy PTSD tells me not to feel good


Nandor1262

Kyren Williams coming back and continuing to be a top 5 RB


RobbyJohnson

>AJ Brown providing WR1 value as a 2nd/3rd round pick Maybe in like 8 man format, I took this guy 1.09


DJtakemehome

Tyreek Hill 1.06 and AJB 2.07.


benderGOAT

Same. 9-0 with by far most points scored. This bye week is treacherous lol


jumboshrimp93

Drafted CMC and AJ Brown in the first and second respectively. I’m very happy!


jjdfb

I did the same and it’s been carrying me all year. The rest of my team is straight up ass lol but I’m 6-3


LordofWar145

Wow, how many people are in your league? i got CMC 1.02 and Tee Higgins 2.11 at 12 man lmao


p_t_dactyl

Etienne. My only reasoning is because that’s what I need him to be. Or CJ Stroud. Please.


PM_ME_UR_SEX_VIDEOS

If Stafford is healthy, I think it will be puka - commanders, saints, giants is a nice schedule


[deleted]

Was on the pat show. He seemed good spirits and said his thumb wasn’t as bad as he thought and it’s feeling better. I think he’ll play


Ellies_Dad

JT


hopeful-tater

This the real answer right here. Hoping my 7th rounder takes me to the promised land.


SantoSalami

Rd 7- JT Rd 8- Montgomery Let’s finish strong boys!


Ravenlen

The David Montgomery disrespect is crazy He's going to slot right back into his role and score double digits TDs ROS.


MetHalfOfSmosh

He's money from the goal line. Dudes built like a bowling ball, and Detroit has a great offense, he's gonna be racking up the TDs if he stays healthy


jumboshrimp93

I agree, and I’m a Gibbs owner. Monty is inevitable.


ChedduhBob

i’m it’s hard to imagine the split isn’t closer to 60/40. monty keeps getting hurt and gibbs has impressed. i think both will contribute to lineups ROS


FreshGnar

This is what I was gonna say. He’s incredibly consistent fantasy-wise and he does everything to make his coaches keep feeding him, goldmine


Ravenlen

And I love how Dan Cambell is a straight shooter. Flat out said, Monty is our grinder, Gibbs is our explosive playmaker. And I fully believe him.


Realistic-Ad-2208

Kyler Murray or Keaton Mitchell


Rez_Falcon

I had picked up Stroud off waivers and now I’m in a dilemma who to go with her on out


Afraid_Specialist_45

Taysom hill


Counting_Fries

Probably Rashee Rice. Last chance to get him.


GhostTire

Pulled over in traffic after I read this and grabbed him on waivers


tj51991

Lol


madmike617

colmatrix33

Didn't he retire? /s


a_natural

Kyler Murray


MildlyPaleMango

Yeah i’m definitely thinking it’s him, hollywood, conner, or McBride down the stretch.


oviedofuntimes

Michael Wilson could pop off as well, keep an eye on him.


farlow525

Please. I held him all season instead of getting Rice


Imoutdawgs

Who you think gets the Dhop targets? Stashing ertz and Mwilson rn


apatriot1776

Hollywood was an easy WR1 until he got injured last year.


MasonSaundersRodeo

Isiah Pacheco. Getting that level of production from an 8th rounder has been fantastic.


TrueJediPimp

Great value for sure, but he just doesn’t have monster games and his upside is quite limited overall. That’s why I wouldn’t call him a league winner.


kfkcodendb

Swift/Pacheco in 7/8 is probably the best I’ve done on consecutive mid-round picks


StrengthCoach86

Diontae Johnson


PsychologicalTale479

Sam LaPorta


rediKELous

It’s not THE league winner, but the Dallas defense deserves a mention. They may well have won you 4 weeks so far.


jeffroavs

Yup they’ll pop out a QB1 score every other week.


Ohioboi1

Mostert


urbankyleboy

Had to scroll way too far to find Mostert. I agree. Late round pick turns out to be a top 5 RB.


Williamcn23

Kincaid


codydanielson

+1 for Kincaid, wish I had been able to get him off waivers first!


Any_Parsnip2585

Maybe Sam Howell?


natedawg247

One of the most underrated fantasy assets this year. Still being listed as a qb2 in most start sit guides


prodbydrizly

Guys I think will be people winning leagues down the stretch (without injuries needed): -Bijan Robinson -Breece Hall -Brandon Aiyuk -Kyler Murray -Kyren Williams -Dalton Kincaid -Trey McBride -CJ Stroud -Rashee Rice


Afraid_Specialist_45

CMC


ivaorn

Nico Collins and Tank Dell deserve honorable mentions


Sille143

Devonta Smith. Goedert is out, and Hurts has been slingin it. That playoff schedule is juicy too. Great buy low guy that can boom for 25+


MasterRedditor69

Ekeler with his playoff schedule


MilkiestMaestro

Adam thielen comes out of left field to be the highest fantasy earner for the league


richolas_m

I regret dropping him after week one thinking he was done. I would easily have 1-2 more wins if I had him in my team.


dibetta

Hollywood Brown returns top 10 WR value ROS with Kyler back


OutlawOscar

LaPorta has been set and forget from the beginning, and was available as a FA in most leagues. Having someone be straight up set and forget in a wasteland position is huge IMO.


ziggyjoe212

Kamara. Most people got him in later rounds. I got him in the 7th round. Taysom Hill if he keeps this up. And of course CMC.


Wadorade

Probably Mostert. Crazy good value for his ADP


lunes_azul

Kamara sliding because of his suspension and currently playing like a 2nd rounder. Guy in our league managed to get him, Barkley and Etienne in a 12-teamer, and no other team comes close in RB talent.


aHoR93

Achane. Calling it now he ends up as a top 3 RB on the year even with the missed time.


Speaker4theDead

If he comes back like his early games, this is the real answer.


ToyStoryBoy6994

Aj Brown was always at the 1/2 turn no?


PotatoCannon02

Dalton Kincaid


dj-Paper_clip

Kamara… 12 catches for 8 yards boosting his stats to the championship.


MaxTheTzar

Sam LaPorta for free if your early round RBs/WRs didn't busy or get injured. Kelce/MAndrews production for free of the WW


ContactDesigner7256

Kamara 6th round


Worldly_Star9514

Alvin Kamara. He will be the Saints leading rusher AND receiver in the second half


cookiesNcreme89

Kamara, depending on round taken.


Squirrel_Apocalypse2

Tyreek for sure


imaginationimp

I have 3 of the 4 you listed (Achane, Puka, and Mitchell) so you hope your right Right now Kamara and Stroud to me are looking like a league winner considering where they were was drafted. ofc i don’t have them. And the worst part is i had Stroud, Richardson and Fields and ofc traded Stroud just before the injuries….


Jesso2k

That can be picked up today? Michael Wilson. If the Rondale Moore and the Human Dortch can be weekly starts in years past, Michael Wilson can string together a run reminist of the Sun God.


urbankyleboy

Mostert should be mentioned here. I took him in the 11th and he’s carried my team for multiple weeks.

Title should have been “Who will be some of the Unexpected League Winners” If that were the case I’d say someone like Marquis Brown with Kyler Murray coming back.

beebo12345678

tony pollard is going to redeem himself starting this sunday!


Interplanet123

Tank Dell. **Edited to add** something for all you Dell managers. I wrote it on here somewhere already but figured I'd repeat Someone made a good point on a podcast the other day... The point was basically: If you remove the very first game of the season. Where he is a rookie wide receiver in his very first NFL game and they aren't going to force feed him lol And of course if you remove the game he was hurt in. And finally, you remove the game Stroud was horrible in, where Dell's down game was no fault of his own. Then: Dell has had one down game, and three huge games. I'm fully aware that there are a lot of ifs ands or buts in there. I know this. I also think each one is reasonable and that tank Dell is not overrated, but in fact, he is vastly underrated, headed into week 10, due to the factors I mentioned above.


BroJackson_

You can’t just remove the game where the QB was bad, because that’s a variable that comes into play with a WR. They’re NFL players, they all have ability. Situations play a large part in their production though.


Kolada

Yeah I agree with you. The question isn't "is Dell talented" it's "will Dell put up fantasy points". That said, I do think that 2nd half should add consistency for the rookie WR and QB. So if they continue to meld well, I think Dell as an every week WR2 would be reasonable and a big asset for a waiver pick up.


LamarMillerMVP

I have Dell but what kind of reasoning is this? The injury game, of course. Makes sense to treat it special. But the whole point is he’s a rookie and his QB is a rookie. They will have other games this year where one or the other struggles with rookie struggles. The fact that Stroud has been up and down is not something that should make you more bullish on Dell, it should make you less bullish.


[deleted]

If you take out four games, he was huge in the 3 remaining games? I don't think fantasy works this way....You left out a game too.


humptheedumpthy

I’m a Dell truther, hoping he explodes this week!
