2021 MGS Fantasy Football

[Berg Ryman]

Love looking like you're going to go 9-0 across all matchups and then in your winner take all cash league you lead the league in and are playing a 1-8 team you get Mahomes'd.

10 Days till trade deadline!

[Berg Ryman]

And on that note, I'll post it in slack as well, but if there's any interest in Antonio Gibson I'm listening.

If anyone needs a QB, I am willing to trade either Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen and will include Brandon Aiyuk or Tyler Boyd.

I am looking for a top running back and a WR.

[GolfSpy_BNG]

Last did effort before the deadline. 
Willing to do any combo of CeeDee, Diontae, or Mike Will for Adams, Kupp, or Deebo. I will also consider certain RB’s as well. 
Can include Cam or Higbee if necessary. 
 

Edit

Will also do the same deal for Chase

Well, got home late… so I’ll be playing this week without a QB… should be fun!

3 weeks left to the season. Who’s gonna make the playoffs??? Thanksgiving week is always a fun one in the fantasy football team. 
No lead is safe in either division at this point so it’s gonna take some good decisions down the stretch.

Speaking of decisions, we’ve got 2 days left to trade. Ends Thursday at midnight EST.

Reminder, top 16 in each division make the playoffs and top 4 in each get a first round bye. Earning a bye also guarantees you your entry fees back (at least). 
 

Good Luck all!

 

 

 PS. I’m open to one last trade or two before the season is over. Send ‘em!

Not specific to any of our leagues, but more out of curiosity. Who do you all listen to for fantasy advice? Are there specific podcasts, sites or rankings that you use over others and why? I enjoy the CBS podcasts, they are fun, pretty light and just enjoyable to listen to, plus they have several different people on each week to give you a variety of thoughts and opinions. I'm sure there are many others that are great and would be keen on hearing who you may think give the best advice?

I will listen to the Sirius Xm Fantasy channel sometimes. 

 

Other than that just twitter, this might not be the best idea though.

The twitter-verse is definitely a rabit hole I won't dive into.

Twitter is great for quick scoops on breaking news but very volatile overall on actual fantasy advice. Seems like most folks hedge every comment so they’re always right. 
 

In addition to Sxm, I like the Fantasy Footballers. They have just about as good of advice as anywhere else but are very entertaining in their presentation…. YouTube and podcasts, I consume either depending on whether I’m in the car or at home. I also like that they have a good focus on the advanced stats to find edges where they may not be immediately apparent.

I will be open for my support of Brad Evans and Jeff Ratcliffe. I won an auction to talk stuff with Brad for benefits for St. Jude's before our drafts and buy Jeff's guide through Brad's old site FTN the past two seasons. I'm not sure Brad is better than anyone else, but Jeff usually grades out as one of the 10 most accurate projectors in year end stuff, he's very good.

In past years, I used FantasyPros for some info (never the paid version though -- or maybe I used Google Play credits to get it for free one season). I actually had their app hooked up in one of my Fantasy Leagues to give advice, similar to the add-on that we had in the MGS league last year. It was beneficial, but in general I don't spend a ton of time on Fantasy, so I think I left a lot of their features unused. 

Now...I don't do much. Mostly just compare analysis across platforms and read a few articles from time to time. I'm also don't do much trading and am not too deep into waivers (although I use them way more than trades) -- both last year and this year, I ended up with a good core crew and mostly used waivers to supplement for Byes and short-term injuries (haven't had a star go down for long periods of time). 

[GolfSpy_APH]

It is trade deadline day! 
Altho I am pretty much happy and content with my roster. I am going to put Gibson/Jeudy pairing together for a uptick in RB. For any of those interested send your offers! I may also consider a TE swap as part of the deal adding in Kittle. 
Happy trading everyone and wish all the best this week moving forward!

[GolfSpy_BNG]

Ok guys I posted this on slack but will put it here as well. I’m fairly content with my team but have some decent talent I’m looking to move for some FAAB or what not. Not looking for anything special and will update the block accordingly. 

[GolfSpy_APH]

Trade deadline is passed.... 1 game left in Week 13 and then onto the final week of the regular season. It really is too close to call. Projected rankings are even stupid close. In the Draw division projected standings at the end of the season look like this.

Thats 5 teams tied for 2 playoff byes and 4 games between 15th and 1st! Seriously crazy and I haven't look at how this week is going to finish, but props to everyone in the Draw Division. @mwr57 is projected to grab the 16th and final spot in playoffs with a 16-12 record. Then 2 teams at .500 miss out at 14-14. Having 18 of 28 teams with .500 or better records is a bit terrifying. 

The Fade Division is also tight but certainly a different situation with Cmart having a good lead. Also their 16th ranked team sneaks in with a 12-16 record. Again these are fantrax projected so don't take too much stock in them. For reference they had me only loosing 3 games not too long ago and I've had a wonderful 1-5 stint I think in 3 weeks.  Regardless good luck to all in the final weeks of the regular season!

[Berg Ryman]

BTW to those in the Fade Division, I've crunched the numbers... 19-9 will guarantee a bye if results hold this week. Congrats to @Camcmart by the way for locking up the top seed with room to spare.

[Berg Ryman]

For Draw btw, after looking at results and assuming results hold or are close to them because that would have an impact, 21 wins looks to be the magic number for a guaranteed bye.

I’m a big fan of fantasypros. Got caught up on this thread and definitely interested for next year. The comparisons seem helpful for compiling experts across websites for who to start.
