Combat Fantasy Football 2026 v. C'mon

[mal3volent]

Well, Jayden Daniels is still hurt so even though he's playing he has lost all of his rushing upside. I'm probably going to have to start Diggs too, and they're on the road on Thursday , so I won't be surprised if they suck even more than usual.

Ladd has been a bum on team full of bums all year. So he's basically just taking up space on my bench or getting me 0s. He's useless. Same with metcalf.

Breece was hurt for a month and now he's splitting with Allen, so he's not even really a rb2 anymore.

London and Fannin could be solid or could give you jack shit any given week.

Oh yeah -- Jacobs probably going to IR too.



I've been keeping my D stiff , and that has been what has won me a couple weeks I had no business winning.
Long story short... I have no fucking idea. But at this point I'm just in for the ride.

That post is riddled with sexual innuendos, and I love it

I do most of my own work post draft. For pre draft rankings going to draft day I use Fastasy pros @alasdairm

 

[alasdairm]

^ yeah, i use the fantasy pros dashboard for a quick hit on my matchup. i also use their "who do i start?" feature sometimes when i have a decision to make.

I love looking at this type of stuff. I realize it's easy to pick apart analysis like this but it's interesting they rank Diggs as WR #23 this week, but in the comments say he is more of a flex than a wr2 regardless of matchup. I'm splitting hairs here but in my mind if you rank him #23 you are essentially stating he is a wr2 , given that the vast majority of leagues are 12 man start 2 wr ...

I like the format of the site though, I look forward to reading through it
I might message you the one I tend to use, can't be posting it here with my competitors afoot

 

[mal3volent]

Fantasy pros is ok for offense but their idp rankings I find to be laughable most weeks

 

[ions]

My approach is to draft well and make very few moves.

 

[alasdairm]

^ yeah, for sure a solid plan.

i generally find that my team is very different by about 4-5 weeks in. my current team has 7 players from my draft.

I’ve made 13 moves total so far this season.

 

[mal3volent]

I tend to not have a predetermined set of restrictions for myself going in. You try to draft well, but you can't account for injuries and weekly matchups. If I don't need to make changes, I won't. If I do, I will. It's kind of silly to be so religious about it.

 

[mal3volent]

Let's take a look to see if there's a correlation between roster changes and success this season:

never say never.
never say always.

i looked at our moves to position ratio.

the top 3 managers by moves - 40, 25, 24 - are currently positioned 1st, 4th, and 3rd respectively. so some correlation there.

We call each other such names. As well as bozo and jabroni.

The top 5 in our league also has the top 5 most moves.

Food for thought @ions
