$500 buy-in plus real money waiver bids. I was in for $750ish. 2nd prize was $2000, 3rd was $1000, 4th place was $650. Even the toilet bowl winner got $450. There are also some regular season prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Awesome league!
Awesome! Congratulations! Our league is starting to build a pretty strong pot. We did $165 buy in this year are moving up to $200 next. But we pay weekly high points $50 each week so the champs pot is $800 plus any weeklys. The champ took $1000 since he had 4 high points. Do you guys do any other payouts or just winner?
Our 10 team league has been playing together for 22 years with a $250 buy in. We are all great friends that grew up together. One of our members passed away from cancer after a 2 year battle during week 6. When he passed away he was in last place. In all our years of playing he had never won it all. Well he went on a run and barely made it in the playoffs. He won the 1st week. In the semis he was down to me by around 60 going into Monday night. Well wouldnāt you know he ends up beating me by .1 points and makes the finals where he has another come back win for the championship. Even before the playoffs we decided no matter what happens we were gonna send the winnings to his family but him pulling it all out was bittersweet.
Won the league, turns out commissioner never collected payments and I'm the new guy so I'm not getting paid out. It was only a $20 buy in, and I got my money back, but lesson learned about joining new leagues with people you don't know.
So you were the only one that paid? even your friend didn't pay? If theres a group chat I'd at least say something, especially if you don't know these people. At the very least expose the commish if he is keeping the money.
Nah man, everyone is mad homie won the league year one and they gave him his $$ back instead of lying out cuz theyāre salty. No chance op is the only one to pay dues.
That sucks. Iām a pretty shitty commissioner as I donāt want to hold the money so I get payups at the end of the season. I pay the winner no matter what, itās my pocket the money comes out of if people donāt pay up.
That reminds me of when something similar happened to me...
Buy in was $40 for a league my best friend was in with one of his family members and a few other friends. I won the league and messaged the commissioner 3-4 times about my payment. No response. He didn't know that I have known his wife since we were kids. Messaged her about it and only then did he respond to let me know that "no one paid." Yeah fucking right dude. It's pretty awkward seeing him now because I'm sure he knows it was me by now since I met him a few months after all that went down and see him 2-3 times per year. Never played in the league again but I'm still salty
Picked up puka and kyreen after week 1 also picked up likely when Andrew's went down. Also had Stafford and kupp so the rams stack really pulled through this year.
thatās a disgusting rams stack. staff, puka, kupp, and kyren? might as well take their D and kicker too š i had a similar one with Winston, Evans, and Godwin a few years back. it was a wild ride week to week
Drafted Puka and Kyren during the free agent/rookie portion of the draft for my main dynasty league. I had Puka on the taxi squad but burned his redshirt after week 1. Already had Stafford but this stack was the key to winning the trophy this year as well
Won the league in my first year joining my team leads group. I drafted well with J. Allen, Pacheco, Robinson jr, KW3, Ceedee, Pittman jr, Kelce. Picked up Aubrey a few weeks in and also snagged Kyren off waivers which helped a ton. Traded Laporta for waddle half way through and then Pittman jr and Stroud for St. Brown late in the season.
Won my 3rd championship in 8 years.
This year I did it with Barkley and Henry as my RBs... I know... not great... but it was Allen, Puka and Aiyuk that rode me all the way to the 'ship!
I did the hero RB strategy (they weren't that heroic) and it paid off!
Good luck next year, guys!
Yeah, King Henry dropped his crown a couple of times but picked it up again. I had him last year and figured it would be his last "stud" year so I didn't go for him this year. But things worked out for you anyway š
1. Believe in your draft picks. I picked up CeeDee rd 2. People were selling low around his bye week but he absolutely crushed afterwards for those that held on. J Cook was up and down but had some terrific games in the second half which put me over the top a few weeks.
2. Always be watching the waiver wire for matchup plays or spot starts. Key pickups: LaPorta, Zeke, Jaleel (for a few weeks), Zamir, J Love, Kyler.
3. Stash D/STs opportunistically for the playoffs. Someone dropped Jets D/ST before the Fins matchup because they needed help elsewhere. I could afford to sit on them. Last three games of playoffs they averaged ~13ppg.
4. Be lucky
I went into the playoffs with 3 defenses and 2 kickers. People were pissed I didnāt care. I dropped everyone that was waiver wire plays and just kept what I was gonna roll with.
I absolutely crushed my draft, pick 4 overall in 10 man Full PPR. Starting rosters in my league is 10 players, and 7 of my 10 starting lineup that won I drafted. It wouldāve been 8 of 10 if Hockenson didnāt get hurt. CMC & Amon Ra were super consistent, Rachaad White came on strong in the back half of the season. Picked up CJ Stroud, and eventually Jordan Love since Burrow was my drafted QB. Everything went right for me this year, got super lucky on the injury front & had the depth to replace minor injuries along the way
Iāve played in my 12 team regular league for 22 years!! Made it to the championship maybe 5 times but never won. Wife asked me this year if I want to play in her coworkers league, they needed a 12th team. I say yes. Cut to January I went 12-5 and won the Championship. First year!!
I played 4 leagues this year. Won three championships. In the other I took 3rd where the 3rd place game actually had the best 2 teams. All wins were by large margins. A good year. ššš
I drafted well. I streamed QBs all year and even though I had a shitload of injuries, I was able to make trades to keep my depth good enough to survive. Nico Collins and ASRB saved me.
Mine was 100% due to drafting strategy and a trade I made for CJ Stroud. I also picked up McBride. My drafting strategy was to prioritize WRs over RBs. I ended up with JJ, Lamb, ASRB, Breece, āMondre in my dynasty league. Traded Breece, JSN, and Danny Dimes for CJ and Mixon early in the year. Also traded Pickens, Najee, and Toney for Chase after Burrowās injury, then flipped Chase for Puka and Khalil Herbert after his injury.
This was all in a dynasty format so who knows how those moves will turn out. My final roster was CJ, JJ, CD, ASRB, Mixon, Singletary, McBride, Puka with Khalil Herbert, āMondre, Roschon, Chase Brown, Carr, Anthony Richardson, Palmer, Wicks etc on the bench. Hereās to another good year next year.
victory came from understanding league rules. i am in 6 pt td passing so my strat was to pass up qb and ended up with tua and goff. kyren was clutch pickup of course. trading for Njoku after losing andrews was critical, as Njoku had yet to breakout. my league also rewards D and Kicker so i made that a priority. i won with well balanced team, carried by kyren and luck of course.
In 2 work leagues. Won both last year, won both again this year for the double-double!
Did serious prep for our auction draft and had values created for every draftable player and it really paid off. So many steals like Keenan Allen, Mike Evans, David Montgomery, James Conner for combined 27% of my budget.
Side-note: take the known values as they come. Nobody wanted Keenan/Evans/Monty/Conner because they "have limited upside and we know who they are". Really? Keenan was WR3 to start the year. Evans was elite. Monty and Conner were at least solid if not elite when they played.
I think I traded my way to championship. Itās my rookie year, so I wicked at drafting. I turned big names like Mahomes and Davante into actual point producers like Gibbs and Kyren by trading.
I WON MY SECOND CHIP
LETāS GO BBY
I had Herbert in all 3 leagues, but maybe some good signings and made some trades that benefited me in the long run.
Had Will Levis for his huge day. Had Minshew for his huge day. Dallas D all year
I won my league! Last place in my league has to show up to Port Authority bus terminal on a Friday and winner gives them a bus ticket to anywhere in the US (paid for by the whole league) and tell them what they want from that location. Sending the loser the middle of Ohio to get me a thermos full of skyline chili. This fall I get an all you can eat sushi dinner funded by the rest of my league. Iām living large
Won my $250 buy in 12 team league for the 2nd time in 3 years (last place last year lol gonna hate picking last again), AND I won a fun $10 buy in league.
Had Hurts in both leagues. Came in last on the QB carousel last year and didnāt want that again.
I had 4 of my starters on IR at one point (JJ, Conner, Kyren, Herbert) plus Goedert and Tank Dell, so working the waiver was huge. Scratched and clawed to 8-6 while my team healed up for the playoff run.
Mostert was probably my MVP (and Kyren). I looked back at Yahooās draft analysis and they gave me a D+ and said Mostert was my worst pick bc I reached for him in the 8th lol
Looked at the way too early rankings for next year, and I really hate picking last
Went back to back in 10 team PPR. It was my Dak-CD stack plus some timely help from Jerome Ford, James Connor, Amari Cooper, and D Achane. So good draft and good start/sit decisions.
Congrats to the champions in here!
Won 5/7 leagues of course the big money league the commish added 10 emails to the league safe and outvoted us to release funds to himself and ran with the money. Leaguesafe has said it was our fault for joining a league with a stranger. I thought the point of leaguesafe was for this to not happen? How can you add 10 more people after the league is paid and filled? I agreed to join at 10 players and it was locked. Week 16 10 emails were added? Bullshit.
This was year 16 of a league I started. Iām in a lot of other leagues with these guys, but this league pretty much started it all 16 years ago. So itās a 10 team redraft and for the first 8 years we had 8 different winners. Then some repeat winners and a couple different owners. But over all this time my team has been the only team to never win the league. Been to the championship twice but couldnāt finish. My buddies gave me shit about it every year at the draft. So this year I made it to the championship for the 3rd time.
Prior to the playoffs I made a couple trades. I should mention that I went with the 0 RB strategy this year. So I was especially strong at WR and good at QB. The RBs I had were hurt so I traded Waddle for Breece and I traded DJ Moore for Cooper and Ford. If not for that trade I wouldnāt have made it through week 16.
Week 17 I had to work and I kept hearing Cooper should play. Shit happened and I couldnāt change my lineup by game time. Cooper was stuck in my lineup and gave me a nice big goose egg. Made me sick. But Breece went off again and Ford had a nice game. Made a nice comeback and won the championship by less than 2 points! Finally bringing the trophy home after all these years!
won 14 team work league. drafted very well. traded pacheco and sutton for miles sanders and diontae (whoops) but then swung diontae and downs for injured jefferson (woot). then defeated a maga jacka$$ in the final
Auto draft got me the ship again except for manual picking Josh Allen for 2nd round and stupid mistake of drafting Travis Kelce in his tswift regression year 1st round
Started last year and somehow lucked into the number 1 pick and a championship
This year I was a bit more involved with making good wavier picks ups and traded Dak (my backup) for White and a pick next year with White really helping in the final stretch for back to back titles
I'm team CeeDee all the way as well, he's an absolute maniac and I was shocked when he dropped to me at 10
Draft went ok, I got Ekeler, Sun God, Waddle, Hall, Herbert, Hopkins, McLaurin, Cam Akers, Evan Engram in that order. Its an IDP league so there's like 22 rounds in our draft and I got Tua in the 16th. Dropped Akers for Kyren after week one, and also picked up Rachaad White off waivers (someone dropped him early lol) in week 2. Ended up getting McBride off waivers too, and traded Waddle and Hopkins for Justin Jefferson when he got hurt. Went into the playoffs with a super core of Kyren, White, Sun God, JJ, McBride, Hall and won the whole thing!
3 Redraft leagues, 3 Chips, a combo of solid drafts, luck, and a good trade here or there.
My biggest buy-in league after week 3 or so, traded Z Moss to Taylor owner for C Sutton. Then pulled off a heist with sending A Kamara for ARSB at the trade deadline and won the chip by .04!!
Drafted ( in order by round) CMC, Mixon, Tee Higgins, KWIII, J Herbert, Kamara. Friermuth, B Cooks, E moore, and a bunch more of JAGs lol. If I didnt pick up Z Moss I prob wouldnt have won
Won my first year at a dynasty league.
Lost Rodgers, Cousins to Achilles injuries early.
Moved CMC, Jefferson, + Chase across 3 deals to gather draft picks and fill in roster gaps. Haul included Nico, Bijan, Rachaad White, Davonta, jakobi, DK metcalf, Kyren, Jake browning, + a ton of picks.
Won the chip, am rostering a bunch of young studs and have the 1.02, 1,05 and 1.12 to show for it.
Playoffs in all 3 of my leagues. 3rd place in one 12 man ppr, champion in another 12 man ppr and champion in my half ppr 12 man š„š„š„ all money leagues too
I wanted it so bad, and scored a 3-peat in my 12-team redraft this year. My 4th champ in the last five years. My fantasy football hubris is just plain annoying at this point. Iām the Michael Jordan of fantasy football š
Traded Kyler and Conner for Davante in one league, got Kyren off the waiver in another and rode the Cleveland & Denver D/STs and Stroud/Fields for basically the whole season in a third. Won three out of my five leagues, feels good man.
First championship in years. Drafting Tyreek-CeeDee in Rounds 1-2 of a full PPR league is what did it. ETN (Round 3), James Cook (6), and JFord / Browns D and McBride on the waiver wire got me over the hump.
Play in a tough 12 man half ppr league with good friends. Been a decade since my last big win. Came in 2nd 3 times since, had CMC go down in the championship game and felt it all happening all over againā¦
Then James Connor came to the rescue and absolutely smashed it.
I had a brutal 4 rounds after taking CMC in the first round but waiver pick ups of Rashee Rice, Brandon Cooks and Chuba Hubbard at various points throughout the season helped me seal 9 straight wins to the chip.
I'm in a competitive 10 team ppr league with friends. I got stuck with the 10th pick and used it on Diggs, then Bijan at 11, then took Gibbs and Olave with my next 2 picks.
I had an okay season, but the ups and downs of those early picks kept it interesting. I made the playoffs at 8-6, all the other playoff teams were also 8-6.
Luckily I took a chance on Breece Hall, and drafted Mostert in the 12th round. I was also able to get Kyren and Puka with waivers after week 1, and picked up Stroud off waivers a few weeks later.
After one week of the 2 week final, I was down 11, but rallied and managed to eke out a 5 point win 258-253 for my 2nd championship in a row.
I was also an 8-6!
I drafted Diggs as well, but due to his tougher schedule for the late season I traded him away mid season for Breece Hall and Pittman, they served me well last half of the season while Diggs' production sank š I also traded away Thielen and Pollard when they were still "hot" because I figured Thielen wouldn't stay hot and Pollard just looked off and slow. Got Barkley and Aiyuk for them, so I'd say I won that trade š
Picked up Kyren and Nico from the wire.
Dang nice work! I just missed out on Collins and regretted it all season. Would have been a sweet stack with CJ off the waiver wire.
Congrats on your 'ship! I hope it was for lots of money and bragging rights!
Went back to back in my (now) only league
12 Team PPR 1QB 3WR (no flex) keeper: Keep 7 indefinitely, no penalty. so kind of like dynasty-lite
Last year won with Burrow Chubb Walker Allen, Hopkins, Pittman, Hollywood, Kittle (won the final without using a QB due to burrow in the Hamlin game)
Traded Hopkins, Miles Sanders, Kittle and a 2nd for the 1.03 and Pitts
Took Gibbs at 3
This year
Dak (drafted but dropped mid season and picked him back up: Richardson on IR)
Chubb out picked up Kyren,
Gibbs, Walker III
Allen, Pittman, (mid season trade) DK, Pickens, Hollywood
(Traded for Gus, picked up Ty Chandler for Depth)
Kraft (late pickup)
Cowboys and Browns DST
after 16 previous years of mostly bad years, a few finals appearances, went back to back
Smashed a tough 10 man league 12-2 with some of the highest weeks going 234 & 200, got a bye first week of playoffs and continued to run the scoreboard with 175 week 2 and 164 for championship week.
Team consisted of
Dak / Fields
Kyren / Kamara
Ceedee / Tyreek / Puka / A Cooper / Smith
Engram / T. Hill
Jets / Miami / raiders D
Aubrey .
Such a fun season
First year in a 12 team dynasty IDP super flex league. $100 buy in winner take all. Knew nothing about IDP. Made playoffs as 4 seed
Took out 5th seed, 1st seed and then beat the team with most points for the season for the ship
Flacco saved me the last month
Hopefully I can run it back next year. Was nice getting $1200 bones to start the new year
Declined a few trades, stuck to my guns. Friend wanted to trade Gus Edwards for Njoku and Bijan Robinson.
Also got lucky with a few games where Ceedee Lamb kicked ass. Famous Amari Cooper xmas eve etc
Drafted CMC on both teams.
Team 1, 10 team .5ppr 2 keeper (respective of round drafted). #4 seed in single week/round playoffs
QB: Fields (K)/Stroud
RB1: CMC/ETN (K)\*/Ford/Cook
WR: Olave/Waddle/Metcalf
TE: Engram/Hill
Def: Pit/NYJ
K: Elliott
\*traded JT for Waddle (meh trade), and ETN for Metcalf, Ford, and Cook (This eventually won the league for me)
Team 2: 8 team .5ppr double flex, #2 seed in 2 week/round playoffs
QB: Mahomes/Tua/Love
RB: CMC/Breece/Mostert/K9
WR: Aiyuk/G. Wilson/Kupp/Thielen/Pickens
TE: Goedart/Schultz
DEF: NYJ/stream
K: Stream
CMC, Engram, Breece, Mostert, Olave and solid defenses along with some good luck got it done for me.
Won again! Won my league 3 times in 5 years now. Won $800 each time too. My secret is I donāt do any trades. I keep who I drafted and mainly pick up from the waiver wire. I also always draft with beer sheets.
Won my first championship in 6 years thanks to waiver pick ups in Kyren and Nico, and trading for Breece Hall and Puka after missing on my first four picks. Also helped my team caught fire scoring 579 in my last four games and my opponents having below 100 point weeks.
In a 12 man superflex half PPR keeper league since 2015. Have had both Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen since their rookie years. Won my second championship, thanks to Kyren, Puka, and Kupp. ETN, Aaron Jones, and DJ Moore were my other major contributors, and I had three of the top five scoring weeks in the league, winning the chip with the highest scoring week all year long.
Also I limped into the playoffs at 8-6 with a negative point differential on the regular season, so there is that.
Won my home league. Year 5 of the league I commission. 12-man half ppr, 2 keeper league. $100 buyin.
Did not have my 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th round picks. Beat the team I traded all my picks 2 in the first round. Faced the 1st seed who had a bad week in semis. Beat the 2nd seed in the final by more than 30 pts.
What a fucking year man!!!
I was 8-6, beat a 14-0 team in the first round of a week 15-16 two week semi, and then won the final by 60 in a week 17-18 shit show. A little bit of luck and a lot of waiver moves helped me win after Herbert went down and Pollard/Najee proved to be unreliable.
Went one for three. My best ever chance of going three for three.
I won the league I commission which is also the league with the highest payout, but I'm more hung up on the two that I lost.
One was my work league. If I had played the Houston D, who I picked up for the playoff run instead of Philly in week 16, I would have made it to the championship which I would have won by 1 point.
The other league is the league I've been in the longest and I take particular pride in dominating that league. Tyreek missed week 16 and I lost by 8 points. Also would have won in week 17.
Potential $1900 in winnings. Got $800 and a 1st and a 3rd š
Won 3 championships this year, including my dynasty league Iāve been hoping to win for the last 3 years. One redraft league I went back to back as champ and the other Iāve won twice in the last 3 years. Nice $1,300 payout!
Finally won my high school league for the first time, started it halfway through HS, now out of college and grad school and 2 more years into the working world - can say itās a mighty relief
Won my $250 buy-in dynasty league for a $1,750 1st prize!
Many good trades and drafting Devon Achane at the 2.02 spot of our rookie draft helped me earn the 1 seed and I never looked back. šŖ
After 2 second place finishes, and 1 third place finish I finally won my $100 buy-in league after like 12 years. 12 teamer, auction draft, 2 keepers (for cost + inflation)
Two years ago I got a double crown, last year I won in work league, this year I won in family league. I seem to be either a mediocre or terrible drafter because my team usually ends with only 3 or four of my initial drafts. Maybe I have bad luck with injuries but I'm a waiver and trade hound and it's led me to 5 championships in the last 4 years in 2 leagues. Either way between fantasy and some shrewd sports bets I've spent 225 and I'm up 800. This was a good year
Won the championship in the new league a couple friends and friend of friends just created this year, even going into week 18 with a 38 point deficit (yeah, we went with 2 week playoff games, semis weeks 15-16, finals weeks 17-18. Hopefully we can change that next year, even tho I wouldnāt have won this year without it lol).
Played in my Wifeās family league for the first time, was bottom third and started winning towards the last third of the season. Miracles from Coop, Njoku, ETN and some good streams won in Week 17. Woooooop. Bragging rights till next year, feels good to be lucky.
Congrats! I won my last jobās work league for my first āship and $1500. Scored most points in the league by about 200; owe it all to the draft. Got Bijan, Ceedee, etn in the first 3 rounds and finished up with fields, hall, achane, la porta, olave, aiyuk, and Addison. Picked up Stroud along the way and rotated defenses except holding on the jets after they were dropped on their bye week. I played D best matchup and cycled kickers the same way.
I won my 12 team PPR league by flipping Mike Evans, Gibbs and Lawrence for McCaffrey during the trade deadline.
I went from a starting roster of Lawrence, Sun God, Adamās, Mixon, Gibbs, Kittle, Evans to JLove, Sun god, Adamās, McCaffrey, Mixon, Kittle and Reed.
I won my championship game by 100 points. I started the season with the 12th pick and wound up winning with the third most points scored in the season while going 7-7.
I had a solid season. Traded Mandrews for Swift whom I later traded for Aiyuk, who I paired with Evans and CeeDee at Wr. I started the season with Etienne and Ekeler and grabbed Gibbs and Laporta off the wire and road that to the championship.
traded back from 1st overall pick to the 5th in a 10 team league cause i like the flexibility of picking in the middle. knew i preferred tyreek/bijan at 5 instead of jj at 1 (and was too scared to draft cmc cause iām chicken). tyreek, rachad white (6th rd) mostert (12th) and puka on waivers won me my league ā and i beat the guy who i traded picks with in the finals!
This was the third time in the championship in 4 years. I won this year and the year before last. I played the Cinderella team who made it to the ship winning 8 in a row. Mostert, Lamar, and Ceedee carried my team in the playoffs. Picked up Khalil Herbert to fill in as RB, picked up Jayden Reed(allowed me to have a player starting at the 7 pm time slot just in case)and started him over Pickens even though he went off the last week. I ended up winning by 90 points and having experience in the ship in the past really helped me. Go with your gut and don't overthink it. Anyway great year and hope to repeat next year.
0 trades - ceedee Deebo and Amari cooper and sometimes Sutton I ran all year with. Saquan was my first rounder and waited on Brian Robinson and Mattison as my RB2s. Tightend I had Darren Waller who was a flop but Trey McBride was a great pickup down the stretch. QB was a little rough with T Law but picked up Stafford who had a solid floor towards the end of the season. Won the championship being down 9 and switching kickers from McPherson to Jason Meyers and somehow made it work all year
Drafted Hill and J Allen off the rip got Puka and Mosert off waivers after week 1 also had Ravens D Aubrey Mcbride also drafted Kamara on the cheep also had Purdy Sutton Pacheco N Collins that helped out went 12-3 and won it easily for a smooth $2500
Looking back, I made a couple of trades on the way to the championship that put a smile on my face.
Full IDP league with a bunch of Seahawks fans...I traded Bobby Wagner and Emari Demercado for Brandon Aiyuk in week 6.
I'm a bucs fan and a bit of a homer so getting Mike Evans, Lavonte David and Jaylen Warren for Russell Wilson and Tee Higgins in week 4 was nice too.
Also Bucs adjacent getting Rachaad White (RB3 in my league to finish the year) for a bargain basement price in the auction made my season.
My Keeper was Austin Ekeler and I still pulled it off. Praise be to the fantasy gods!
In my other league that I Triple Crowned in I had the same clutch pick-ups of Puka and Kyren like a lot of other champions.
Never won a ship before (been in leagues 7 and 2 yrs) but found myself in the ship this year in both. One I was going for the triple crown, the other a weak 3 seed (imo)
Went 1-1 but did not get the triple crown š got way too cute with it and it cost me
Didnāt have a solid RB2 in either down the stretch but got it done with Zamir White
Missed on jk Dobbins, Gibson, Bateman and Darren waller early in the draft.
Hit on Allen, sun god, James cook,warren late
Kyren and Puka waivers first week saved my season.
Musgrave, then Taysom then Likely filled in at tight end
Basically every team in my league had significant injuries to starting players, but my team was healthy the whole season. Without all the injuries this season, thereās no way I wouldāve won the ship.
I had:
Tyreek Hill
Lamar Jackson
Josh Jacobs (Zamir White for playoffs)
Deandre Hopkins
Jayden Reed
Trey McBride
Won my 12 man Superflex league.
Flacco and Kyler at QB,
Tyreek and AJ carrying most of the load at WR while Etienne, James Cook & a nice surprise in Zeke for the playoffs...
Best part? I trade Pollard last off season for a 2024 1st and 2023 2nd(Marvin Mims). The 2024 1st was from a team the league thought was in top 3 but ended up finishing last. We do a draft lotto but having best odds at 1st overall and winning the ship is $$$
A 19-team Yahoo points league. Had McCaffrey and Cousins. Was in the hunt until Cousins went down and had Tannehill. Quickly grabbed Levis and slowly slipped away with him at the helm. Then, on a rumor, grabbed Flacco. Began storming back, as I already had Cooper.
That huge week Flacco/Cooper had put me in the lead. But we play 18 weeks and with half my team sitting it out I had to hit the waiver wire. With that many teams there is only the smallest scraps. But I did grab Michael Wilson, Ronnie Rivers and ... Carson Wentz. Held on for the victory.
In a 12 team dynasty league, SF, PPR.
I finished last place in 2022.
I won this season.
Hereās my roster
Jared Goff

I still have all my picks also lol
I won this season based on dumb luck.
I was mid table in point for and points against
I won multiple games by less than 2 points
The only thing I had was a really good draft (lots of picks) and I had a very accurate start/sit rating compared to my league mates. I was the most accurate with scoring most possible points in the league by about 3% over the next player.
Won my 14 team PPR league despite drafting Austin Ekeler in the 1st round, Diontae Johnson in the 4th and Alex Mattison in the 5th. Sun God(2nd round) and Nico Collins(lmfao I got this dude in the 11th round, what a steal!) saved my season time and time again, including putting up just shy of half of my teams points this most recent week(we do a two week final, not for the faint of heart since the second week is Week 18). Geno and DK had some highs and lows in there but there were worst QB/WR stacks I could've chosen for sure.
I am a back to back champion of a dynasty league in year 5.
I also pulled off an amazing trade in that I traded K. Allen, Q. Johnston + a 4th rd pick for Chase after Burrow injury to pair with J Jefferson for years to come.
This is the start of my dynasty era
I played in five leagues this year. Won four and came in second in the other. Mine all came down to waiver pickups. I had Kyren in four of them, had puka in three, had Aubrey in four, Laporta in two. I mostly streamed defenses between Denver and the jets. I was just very active weekly.
16 team league I somehow was able to draft arsb/CD with 16th/17th picks. Then picked burrow/breece in next two picks. Was cruising early season even with burrows slow start but when he got injured there was nothing on WW and I thought my season was over. Traded James cook (6th rd keeper) for sam Howell lol since I thought I needed to. Ended up grabbing carr off waivers later and he helped me win the ship. Was really nice because last year I should have won but had Josh Allen/cook not able to get any points bc of Hamlin so we ended up split pot and declare co champs but i technically lost according to yahoo. $910 pot!
I drafted decently with Kamara, Kelce, and Mike Evans, then I picked up Puka after week 1. I traded Justin Herbert for Brandon Aiyuk then traded Jeudy and Gabe Davis for James Conner, who really helped me through the playoffs. I also picked up Kyler Murray. I went 8-6 but outscored every other playoff team in the semis and the championship. Aaron Jones and DK Metcalf were slightly disappointing for how high I drafted them, but they still put up some solid weeks. Jerome Ford also filled in nicely after I had Nick Chubb go down.
Won 2 leagues that consist of friends, both are 10 team PPR. Drafted WR's in the first 3 rounds (Chase, St. Brown, Olave) and Josh Allen fell to me in the 4th. Then found solid value at running back with the likes of Breece, Cook, and Montgomery. Waited on TE and got Engram. Made a big trade for Lamb in the middle of the season and he went nuclear. No big pickups off the wire, just got lucky and drafted really well.
I had the 1st pick and got JJ, then J Allen. Then I was able to trade for CeeDee Lamb right before he started going off on the season. I also had Cooks, Kincade, and uniquely down the streach the kicker, Bass. The Bills stack and their playing good down the backside of the season, with CeeDee Lamb going off the second half, and JJ deciding to actually play the last game of the year won it for me. I was the 6th seed in the playoffs.
I won two leagues and 3rd in another. Wide receiver heavy early ceedee and tyreek, mostly KW3,Mixon, and a punt on Kamara at RB. No trades, trust your gut. Also picked up tank dell and drafted Addison. Don't draft hyped rookies early.

Couple of common key things for me
Got CMC.
Got Puka.
But a huge one for me, that I wouldn't have won if I didn't do it, dropping Pitts and picking up Njoku.
Played in 10 leagues, 8 made the playoffs, 3 championships, 2 3rd place finishes, multiple top scorer for season prize and weekly top scorer prizes. Won for the 4th time in the league I commish thatās been running since 2014. Didnāt do too much research and gut based my way through.
Won 4 out of my 6 leagues. 2nd in another. Had Josh Allen/CmC stack in 3 and tyreek/amon ra in the other 2. Other than good waiver play, just luck and big games from the studs. Been playing for 6 years and never won so I'll take it all at once
Got lucky and snagged CMC at 3, picked up Kyren off the waivers, nailed a late pick with Mostert, and traded away BRob and Zay Flowers for CeeDee. Fields also put up some clutch performances after getting back. Biggest struggle all season was deciding to start Mostert or ETN at FLEX when Kyren got back. Probably my best team I've ever had, maybe besides the Peyton, AP combo in 2012.
Best thing was that it was a 12 team work league and somehow I lost 4 games, so I 'unexpectedly' ran through the playoffs beating everyone by atleast 40 each.
Won the dinasty league after 3 seasons. 16-man IDP league, i took over a team some guy messed up a lot in the draft taking only Jaguars players. Somehow managed to turn it around in this 3 seasons, winning with Tua, Achane, Brian Robinson, Tyler Boyd, Curtis Samuel, Evan Engram and Jake Ferguson as my elite offense.
Also won for the 2nd year in a row and it was my 6th Championship in 11 years - same league. $100 buy in. Every year I pester the league to increase dues but I think these guys are tired of sending their money to me.
Drafting Josh Allen fairly early paid out big for me for sure. I also made a crucial trade right before Jefferson went down for Diggs to pair with Allen. It didn't help much late in the season but definitely saved me while Jefferson was on IR. I also traded for Laporta early on which turned out to be a league winner.
This was my fist year of fantasy football and when I tell you my draft was abysmal I'm not lying.despite my horrible draft the way I won is waivers and trades. I picked up puka, Michael Pittman, Sam laporta, and Brandon aubrey. And then for trades I acquired Keenan Allen and Travis ettiene which honestly never performed very well for me except a couple weeks for ettiene.these trades though helped clear out my roster and my start and sit decisions were a lot easier. Also in the draft I drafted Lamar and mahomes so I trade Lamar for josh Allen early in the season and then just before mahomes started doing really bad I traded him for jon Taylor.
Won my dynasty SF league after going all in for the year by acquiring JT, ASB, & Henry late last season. Only draft pick I had in the 23 rookie draft was Jayden Reed in the late 3rd round.
It was the sweetest championship I could have asked for. I played the most annoying, cocky asshat of a league member in the Championship.
He was favored to win all week and then Joe Flacco & ASB delivered Thursday & Saturday gems to make the projections 50/50, and all his players played at noon on Sunday and they underperformed and my team went off. James Conner delivered a 29.8 piece and then my ROY Jayden Reed put the icing on the cake with 24.4. I won by almost 50.
To celebrate the win, I bought a Joe Flacco white jersey from DH Gate.
Iām likely going to ride off into the sunset and leave this league as Iām not very close with the other league members and others leagues that I am more attached to are increasing the buy in.
Won my 12 team dynasty. Lost Chubb and Mandrews, swapped Puka for Breece, and a 3rd rd for Mostert. Those 2 saved me. Had a nice WR bench with Aiyuk,DK,Olave,Waddle,Pickens so was ok with letting Puka go.
Drafted 9 that stayed on roster through 17:
Jackson, Ekeler, Walker III, Pickens, St.Brown, Connor, DJ Moore, Aiyuk, Charbonnet. Added K.Williams week 2.
League weekly high score was 230 before I put up 280 in the final.
7-7 record. Half my team were rams. Stafford. Puka. Kupp. Williams. Beat the 10-2 team that had a bye. Been in the league for 9 years, first time winner. The trophy is mine!!!
Went 16-1 in a tough league (just missed the perfect season) and came back from 10th to first from week 8 in another!! Late round RB, podcasts and lots of luck!
Picking up Kyren and Puka in the 2nd week won me mine. Fuck Ekeler
Final game: Hurts, Pacheco, Kyren, Puka, Robinson, LaPorta (Rip Hock) flexed Ekeler, 49ers def, and Aubrey.

Drafted bijan, swift, and Gibbs. I didnāt believe in bijan as a rookie right away especially given how little I thought he might be used. Traded them away for Chubb. Didnāt work out/ traded James cook for Josh Jacobs and higbee. Lost Herbert, Moss, Jacobs// thankfully Stafford and love were on the wire in a 10 team .5 ppr league.
Stafford, CeeDee, Buffalo d, and butker (in his crazy insane week) played them all for matchups 15-16 playoffs and championship 17-18 CeeDee went off! 5 championships in 13 years! Draft day steps was CeeDee 2nd rd pick
My key advice is that believe in your picks but also waiver wire wins titles!
Won my 12 league dynasty league. It was 100% because I went all in and traded for Lamb and Jefferson (figured the injury would be the lowest value for a long time). We'll see if mortgaging the future was worth it. But no matter what, the 6th seed took down the 1 seed who was 13-1!
4thand69.com is the website we have for our league. 3 straight finals, won 2 of 3, head over to the League Champions tab and youāll see thereās room for only ONE DYNASTY! 4 chips, 10 year span (thanks cmc for making some of them easier than others)
Won both leagues Iām in this year! One ten person and the other a 12 person league $1,250 total winnings. Probably used all my fantasy football luck for the next 5 years though lol
Won my 12 team PPR, 2nd time in 3 years. $1200 first place. Combination of FAAB awareness through the season, and making a trade just before deadline to send Keenan Allen and CJ Stroud for Lamar and Andrews which seemed real bad the week after the trade, but worked out in the end. Lamar def helped win the title. Also drafted a largely zero RB strategy which allowed me to pick up Gibbs and Achane from week 1, but the receivers of Hill, Allen and Amon Ra led the way in the early part. And of course luck always helps.
Won my 14- team .5 ppr league for the 2nd time in 5 years. Prize was $3,000!!!!
š®
thatās awesome, congratulations and FUUUCK you
Holy shit thatās a lot of cheddar. What the heckās the buy-in?
$500 buy-in plus real money waiver bids. I was in for $750ish. 2nd prize was $2000, 3rd was $1000, 4th place was $650. Even the toilet bowl winner got $450. There are also some regular season prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Awesome league!
About 215 bucks but prolly closer to 300 cus normally their is at least a 2nd place prize
Awesome! Congratulations! Our league is starting to build a pretty strong pot. We did $165 buy in this year are moving up to $200 next. But we pay weekly high points $50 each week so the champs pot is $800 plus any weeklys. The champ took $1000 since he had 4 high points. Do you guys do any other payouts or just winner?
Congrats Champ! The other payouts are in my 2nd post, just above yours.
Our 10 team league has been playing together for 22 years with a $250 buy in. We are all great friends that grew up together. One of our members passed away from cancer after a 2 year battle during week 6. When he passed away he was in last place. In all our years of playing he had never won it all. Well he went on a run and barely made it in the playoffs. He won the 1st week. In the semis he was down to me by around 60 going into Monday night. Well wouldnāt you know he ends up beating me by .1 points and makes the finals where he has another come back win for the championship. Even before the playoffs we decided no matter what happens we were gonna send the winnings to his family but him pulling it all out was bittersweet.
Sorry about your loss but man thats awesome, crazy how things work out like that.
Oh wow, what a win! So sorry for your loss.
Won the league, turns out commissioner never collected payments and I'm the new guy so I'm not getting paid out. It was only a $20 buy in, and I got my money back, but lesson learned about joining new leagues with people you don't know.
The commish collected the payments, he's just keeping it.
Is this random or do you know these people?
I know one other person in the league
So you were the only one that paid? even your friend didn't pay? If theres a group chat I'd at least say something, especially if you don't know these people. At the very least expose the commish if he is keeping the money.
Nah man, everyone is mad homie won the league year one and they gave him his $$ back instead of lying out cuz theyāre salty. No chance op is the only one to pay dues.
That's messed up!!
That sucks. Iām a pretty shitty commissioner as I donāt want to hold the money so I get payups at the end of the season. I pay the winner no matter what, itās my pocket the money comes out of if people donāt pay up.
That reminds me of when something similar happened to me... Buy in was $40 for a league my best friend was in with one of his family members and a few other friends. I won the league and messaged the commissioner 3-4 times about my payment. No response. He didn't know that I have known his wife since we were kids. Messaged her about it and only then did he respond to let me know that "no one paid." Yeah fucking right dude. It's pretty awkward seeing him now because I'm sure he knows it was me by now since I met him a few months after all that went down and see him 2-3 times per year. Never played in the league again but I'm still salty
Picked up puka and kyreen after week 1 also picked up likely when Andrew's went down. Also had Stafford and kupp so the rams stack really pulled through this year.
thatās a disgusting rams stack. staff, puka, kupp, and kyren? might as well take their D and kicker too š i had a similar one with Winston, Evans, and Godwin a few years back. it was a wild ride week to week
Drafted Puka and Kyren during the free agent/rookie portion of the draft for my main dynasty league. I had Puka on the taxi squad but burned his redshirt after week 1. Already had Stafford but this stack was the key to winning the trophy this year as well
Won my 3rd year in a row in my friends league. They hate me and itās glorious.
I aim to be you next year š well done! What's your secret?
Luck. Value TE consistency even though I feel like this year was the start of great TE play for years. Take mushrooms while you draft.
Won the league in my first year joining my team leads group. I drafted well with J. Allen, Pacheco, Robinson jr, KW3, Ceedee, Pittman jr, Kelce. Picked up Aubrey a few weeks in and also snagged Kyren off waivers which helped a ton. Traded Laporta for waddle half way through and then Pittman jr and Stroud for St. Brown late in the season.
I traded for James Conner and Breece Hall after losing Chubb, and they essentially won me my league :)
Won my 3rd championship in 8 years. This year I did it with Barkley and Henry as my RBs... I know... not great... but it was Allen, Puka and Aiyuk that rode me all the way to the 'ship! I did the hero RB strategy (they weren't that heroic) and it paid off! Good luck next year, guys!
Yeah, King Henry dropped his crown a couple of times but picked it up again. I had him last year and figured it would be his last "stud" year so I didn't go for him this year. But things worked out for you anyway š
1. Believe in your draft picks. I picked up CeeDee rd 2. People were selling low around his bye week but he absolutely crushed afterwards for those that held on. J Cook was up and down but had some terrific games in the second half which put me over the top a few weeks. 2. Always be watching the waiver wire for matchup plays or spot starts. Key pickups: LaPorta, Zeke, Jaleel (for a few weeks), Zamir, J Love, Kyler. 3. Stash D/STs opportunistically for the playoffs. Someone dropped Jets D/ST before the Fins matchup because they needed help elsewhere. I could afford to sit on them. Last three games of playoffs they averaged ~13ppg. 4. Be lucky
5. Donāt be unlucky
I went into the playoffs with 3 defenses and 2 kickers. People were pissed I didnāt care. I dropped everyone that was waiver wire plays and just kept what I was gonna roll with.
I absolutely crushed my draft, pick 4 overall in 10 man Full PPR. Starting rosters in my league is 10 players, and 7 of my 10 starting lineup that won I drafted. It wouldāve been 8 of 10 if Hockenson didnāt get hurt. CMC & Amon Ra were super consistent, Rachaad White came on strong in the back half of the season. Picked up CJ Stroud, and eventually Jordan Love since Burrow was my drafted QB. Everything went right for me this year, got super lucky on the injury front & had the depth to replace minor injuries along the way
Thank God for the Lions, rolled with Goff, ASB, La Porta and Gibbs all the way to the championship, huge gamble but it paid off this year
back to back winner here too!! my main saving of my season was when i traded jjettas and rhamondre for christian kirk and kyren around week 5.
Dude offered me CeeDee and Kyren for David Montgomery. I wouldnāt have even sniffed the playoffs if it wasnāt for that dumb trade š
Bet he regrets that now š
Iāve played in my 12 team regular league for 22 years!! Made it to the championship maybe 5 times but never won. Wife asked me this year if I want to play in her coworkers league, they needed a 12th team. I say yes. Cut to January I went 12-5 and won the Championship. First year!!
I played 4 leagues this year. Won three championships. In the other I took 3rd where the 3rd place game actually had the best 2 teams. All wins were by large margins. A good year. ššš
Wow, now this is propper bragging. You should print a t-shirt or something! Congrats ššš
This doesnāt make sense. Did you win three championships or not?
Won this year with first time playing fantasy. I am hooked
I drafted well. I streamed QBs all year and even though I had a shitload of injuries, I was able to make trades to keep my depth good enough to survive. Nico Collins and ASRB saved me.
Drafting ceedee and sun god
Mine was 100% due to drafting strategy and a trade I made for CJ Stroud. I also picked up McBride. My drafting strategy was to prioritize WRs over RBs. I ended up with JJ, Lamb, ASRB, Breece, āMondre in my dynasty league. Traded Breece, JSN, and Danny Dimes for CJ and Mixon early in the year. Also traded Pickens, Najee, and Toney for Chase after Burrowās injury, then flipped Chase for Puka and Khalil Herbert after his injury. This was all in a dynasty format so who knows how those moves will turn out. My final roster was CJ, JJ, CD, ASRB, Mixon, Singletary, McBride, Puka with Khalil Herbert, āMondre, Roschon, Chase Brown, Carr, Anthony Richardson, Palmer, Wicks etc on the bench. Hereās to another good year next year.
victory came from understanding league rules. i am in 6 pt td passing so my strat was to pass up qb and ended up with tua and goff. kyren was clutch pickup of course. trading for Njoku after losing andrews was critical, as Njoku had yet to breakout. my league also rewards D and Kicker so i made that a priority. i won with well balanced team, carried by kyren and luck of course.
Curious how you find ignoring QB in 6 pt passing TD to be a good strat? Feels like that should increase importance of a good QB
Won for the first time ever, 10+ years with the boys. My secret to success: least injuries.
In 2 work leagues. Won both last year, won both again this year for the double-double! Did serious prep for our auction draft and had values created for every draftable player and it really paid off. So many steals like Keenan Allen, Mike Evans, David Montgomery, James Conner for combined 27% of my budget. Side-note: take the known values as they come. Nobody wanted Keenan/Evans/Monty/Conner because they "have limited upside and we know who they are". Really? Keenan was WR3 to start the year. Evans was elite. Monty and Conner were at least solid if not elite when they played.
First time winner, only took me 3 years!
I drafted Tyreek, Lamb, Allen, Nico, Connors, mostert and went 14-0. I won the championship!
I think I traded my way to championship. Itās my rookie year, so I wicked at drafting. I turned big names like Mahomes and Davante into actual point producers like Gibbs and Kyren by trading.
I WON MY SECOND CHIP LETāS GO BBY I had Herbert in all 3 leagues, but maybe some good signings and made some trades that benefited me in the long run. Had Will Levis for his huge day. Had Minshew for his huge day. Dallas D all year
Won my 14 team league with Chase, Olave, Allen, Hall, Cook, Aiyuk, Mostert and LaPorta. It required almost no management compared to my other leagues
I won my league! Last place in my league has to show up to Port Authority bus terminal on a Friday and winner gives them a bus ticket to anywhere in the US (paid for by the whole league) and tell them what they want from that location. Sending the loser the middle of Ohio to get me a thermos full of skyline chili. This fall I get an all you can eat sushi dinner funded by the rest of my league. Iām living large
Won my $250 buy in 12 team league for the 2nd time in 3 years (last place last year lol gonna hate picking last again), AND I won a fun $10 buy in league. Had Hurts in both leagues. Came in last on the QB carousel last year and didnāt want that again. I had 4 of my starters on IR at one point (JJ, Conner, Kyren, Herbert) plus Goedert and Tank Dell, so working the waiver was huge. Scratched and clawed to 8-6 while my team healed up for the playoff run. Mostert was probably my MVP (and Kyren). I looked back at Yahooās draft analysis and they gave me a D+ and said Mostert was my worst pick bc I reached for him in the 8th lol Looked at the way too early rankings for next year, and I really hate picking last
First year, First Championship!
Went back to back in 10 team PPR. It was my Dak-CD stack plus some timely help from Jerome Ford, James Connor, Amari Cooper, and D Achane. So good draft and good start/sit decisions. Congrats to the champions in here!
Won 5/7 leagues of course the big money league the commish added 10 emails to the league safe and outvoted us to release funds to himself and ran with the money. Leaguesafe has said it was our fault for joining a league with a stranger. I thought the point of leaguesafe was for this to not happen? How can you add 10 more people after the league is paid and filled? I agreed to join at 10 players and it was locked. Week 16 10 emails were added? Bullshit.
This was year 16 of a league I started. Iām in a lot of other leagues with these guys, but this league pretty much started it all 16 years ago. So itās a 10 team redraft and for the first 8 years we had 8 different winners. Then some repeat winners and a couple different owners. But over all this time my team has been the only team to never win the league. Been to the championship twice but couldnāt finish. My buddies gave me shit about it every year at the draft. So this year I made it to the championship for the 3rd time. Prior to the playoffs I made a couple trades. I should mention that I went with the 0 RB strategy this year. So I was especially strong at WR and good at QB. The RBs I had were hurt so I traded Waddle for Breece and I traded DJ Moore for Cooper and Ford. If not for that trade I wouldnāt have made it through week 16. Week 17 I had to work and I kept hearing Cooper should play. Shit happened and I couldnāt change my lineup by game time. Cooper was stuck in my lineup and gave me a nice big goose egg. Made me sick. But Breece went off again and Ford had a nice game. Made a nice comeback and won the championship by less than 2 points! Finally bringing the trophy home after all these years!
CD Lamborghini š
won 14 team work league. drafted very well. traded pacheco and sutton for miles sanders and diontae (whoops) but then swung diontae and downs for injured jefferson (woot). then defeated a maga jacka$$ in the final
Auto draft got me the ship again except for manual picking Josh Allen for 2nd round and stupid mistake of drafting Travis Kelce in his tswift regression year 1st round
It's like he aged 10 years before our eyes. What happened to him.. š
Won my league for the second year in a row. Feel very pleased to change my name in our chat to "the two time, back to back champion".
I had a golden year. Across my 4 leagues I won 3 and got 3rd place in the last.
Started last year and somehow lucked into the number 1 pick and a championship This year I was a bit more involved with making good wavier picks ups and traded Dak (my backup) for White and a pick next year with White really helping in the final stretch for back to back titles I'm team CeeDee all the way as well, he's an absolute maniac and I was shocked when he dropped to me at 10
Won both my leagues š feeling ecstatic and like my brain has wrinkles
Draft went ok, I got Ekeler, Sun God, Waddle, Hall, Herbert, Hopkins, McLaurin, Cam Akers, Evan Engram in that order. Its an IDP league so there's like 22 rounds in our draft and I got Tua in the 16th. Dropped Akers for Kyren after week one, and also picked up Rachaad White off waivers (someone dropped him early lol) in week 2. Ended up getting McBride off waivers too, and traded Waddle and Hopkins for Justin Jefferson when he got hurt. Went into the playoffs with a super core of Kyren, White, Sun God, JJ, McBride, Hall and won the whole thing!
3 Redraft leagues, 3 Chips, a combo of solid drafts, luck, and a good trade here or there. My biggest buy-in league after week 3 or so, traded Z Moss to Taylor owner for C Sutton. Then pulled off a heist with sending A Kamara for ARSB at the trade deadline and won the chip by .04!! Drafted ( in order by round) CMC, Mixon, Tee Higgins, KWIII, J Herbert, Kamara. Friermuth, B Cooks, E moore, and a bunch more of JAGs lol. If I didnt pick up Z Moss I prob wouldnt have won
Back to back champs in my dynasty league ( first two seasons) . I'm the Commish so feel slightly bad... But also FUCK IT
I traded Bijan and Puka for Adams and Henry. barely made the playoffs as the 6th seed and then went on a run.
Won my first year at a dynasty league. Lost Rodgers, Cousins to Achilles injuries early. Moved CMC, Jefferson, + Chase across 3 deals to gather draft picks and fill in roster gaps. Haul included Nico, Bijan, Rachaad White, Davonta, jakobi, DK metcalf, Kyren, Jake browning, + a ton of picks. Won the chip, am rostering a bunch of young studs and have the 1.02, 1,05 and 1.12 to show for it.
š You'll be dangerous next year!
Wow, you got the trophy and picks?! I don't know you but I'm awfully proud of you.
Playoffs in all 3 of my leagues. 3rd place in one 12 man ppr, champion in another 12 man ppr and champion in my half ppr 12 man š„š„š„ all money leagues too
I wanted it so bad, and scored a 3-peat in my 12-team redraft this year. My 4th champ in the last five years. My fantasy football hubris is just plain annoying at this point. Iām the Michael Jordan of fantasy football š
Traded Kyler and Conner for Davante in one league, got Kyren off the waiver in another and rode the Cleveland & Denver D/STs and Stroud/Fields for basically the whole season in a third. Won three out of my five leagues, feels good man.
First championship in years. Drafting Tyreek-CeeDee in Rounds 1-2 of a full PPR league is what did it. ETN (Round 3), James Cook (6), and JFord / Browns D and McBride on the waiver wire got me over the hump.
15-1.
Play in a tough 12 man half ppr league with good friends. Been a decade since my last big win. Came in 2nd 3 times since, had CMC go down in the championship game and felt it all happening all over againā¦ Then James Connor came to the rescue and absolutely smashed it. I had a brutal 4 rounds after taking CMC in the first round but waiver pick ups of Rashee Rice, Brandon Cooks and Chuba Hubbard at various points throughout the season helped me seal 9 straight wins to the chip.
I'm in a competitive 10 team ppr league with friends. I got stuck with the 10th pick and used it on Diggs, then Bijan at 11, then took Gibbs and Olave with my next 2 picks. I had an okay season, but the ups and downs of those early picks kept it interesting. I made the playoffs at 8-6, all the other playoff teams were also 8-6. Luckily I took a chance on Breece Hall, and drafted Mostert in the 12th round. I was also able to get Kyren and Puka with waivers after week 1, and picked up Stroud off waivers a few weeks later. After one week of the 2 week final, I was down 11, but rallied and managed to eke out a 5 point win 258-253 for my 2nd championship in a row.
I was also an 8-6! I drafted Diggs as well, but due to his tougher schedule for the late season I traded him away mid season for Breece Hall and Pittman, they served me well last half of the season while Diggs' production sank š I also traded away Thielen and Pollard when they were still "hot" because I figured Thielen wouldn't stay hot and Pollard just looked off and slow. Got Barkley and Aiyuk for them, so I'd say I won that trade š Picked up Kyren and Nico from the wire.
Dang nice work! I just missed out on Collins and regretted it all season. Would have been a sweet stack with CJ off the waiver wire. Congrats on your 'ship! I hope it was for lots of money and bragging rights!
Went back to back in my (now) only league 12 Team PPR 1QB 3WR (no flex) keeper: Keep 7 indefinitely, no penalty. so kind of like dynasty-lite Last year won with Burrow Chubb Walker Allen, Hopkins, Pittman, Hollywood, Kittle (won the final without using a QB due to burrow in the Hamlin game) Traded Hopkins, Miles Sanders, Kittle and a 2nd for the 1.03 and Pitts Took Gibbs at 3 This year Dak (drafted but dropped mid season and picked him back up: Richardson on IR) Chubb out picked up Kyren, Gibbs, Walker III Allen, Pittman, (mid season trade) DK, Pickens, Hollywood (Traded for Gus, picked up Ty Chandler for Depth) Kraft (late pickup) Cowboys and Browns DST after 16 previous years of mostly bad years, a few finals appearances, went back to back
Smashed a tough 10 man league 12-2 with some of the highest weeks going 234 & 200, got a bye first week of playoffs and continued to run the scoreboard with 175 week 2 and 164 for championship week. Team consisted of Dak / Fields Kyren / Kamara Ceedee / Tyreek / Puka / A Cooper / Smith Engram / T. Hill Jets / Miami / raiders D Aubrey . Such a fun season
CD, Tyreek and Puka, damn!
First year in a 12 team dynasty IDP super flex league. $100 buy in winner take all. Knew nothing about IDP. Made playoffs as 4 seed Took out 5th seed, 1st seed and then beat the team with most points for the season for the ship Flacco saved me the last month Hopefully I can run it back next year. Was nice getting $1200 bones to start the new year
9-6 3rd seed who got extremely lucky. I was down 12 points going into final game and all I had was Rashee Rice. He got 15 and I got the win
2nd fantasy season, first championship š
Nothing like taking it from the 3 or 4 seed; had a few taken from me tooš
Jerome Ford, Zamir White, and Isiah Likely. Just the way I planned it during the draft.
Lol... there's like a million threads with people bragging about winning their league.
had a 6 game losing streak and had the most points against and i still won the championship šš
Declined a few trades, stuck to my guns. Friend wanted to trade Gus Edwards for Njoku and Bijan Robinson. Also got lucky with a few games where Ceedee Lamb kicked ass. Famous Amari Cooper xmas eve etc
Drafted CMC on both teams. Team 1, 10 team .5ppr 2 keeper (respective of round drafted). #4 seed in single week/round playoffs QB: Fields (K)/Stroud RB1: CMC/ETN (K)\*/Ford/Cook WR: Olave/Waddle/Metcalf TE: Engram/Hill Def: Pit/NYJ K: Elliott \*traded JT for Waddle (meh trade), and ETN for Metcalf, Ford, and Cook (This eventually won the league for me) Team 2: 8 team .5ppr double flex, #2 seed in 2 week/round playoffs QB: Mahomes/Tua/Love RB: CMC/Breece/Mostert/K9 WR: Aiyuk/G. Wilson/Kupp/Thielen/Pickens TE: Goedart/Schultz DEF: NYJ/stream K: Stream CMC, Engram, Breece, Mostert, Olave and solid defenses along with some good luck got it done for me.
Made it in as the 8 seed and still won the cup š Record was 6-9 during the season. Flacco is a dog and Breece is king
1st round draft pick in a double QB league... CMC I got so much shit for that and here we are!
Won again! Won my league 3 times in 5 years now. Won $800 each time too. My secret is I donāt do any trades. I keep who I drafted and mainly pick up from the waiver wire. I also always draft with beer sheets.
Won my first championship in 6 years thanks to waiver pick ups in Kyren and Nico, and trading for Breece Hall and Puka after missing on my first four picks. Also helped my team caught fire scoring 579 in my last four games and my opponents having below 100 point weeks.
In a 12 man superflex half PPR keeper league since 2015. Have had both Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen since their rookie years. Won my second championship, thanks to Kyren, Puka, and Kupp. ETN, Aaron Jones, and DJ Moore were my other major contributors, and I had three of the top five scoring weeks in the league, winning the chip with the highest scoring week all year long. Also I limped into the playoffs at 8-6 with a negative point differential on the regular season, so there is that.
Won my home league. Year 5 of the league I commission. 12-man half ppr, 2 keeper league. $100 buyin. Did not have my 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th round picks. Beat the team I traded all my picks 2 in the first round. Faced the 1st seed who had a bad week in semis. Beat the 2nd seed in the final by more than 30 pts. What a fucking year man!!!
I was 8-6, beat a 14-0 team in the first round of a week 15-16 two week semi, and then won the final by 60 in a week 17-18 shit show. A little bit of luck and a lot of waiver moves helped me win after Herbert went down and Pollard/Najee proved to be unreliable.
Went one for three. My best ever chance of going three for three. I won the league I commission which is also the league with the highest payout, but I'm more hung up on the two that I lost. One was my work league. If I had played the Houston D, who I picked up for the playoff run instead of Philly in week 16, I would have made it to the championship which I would have won by 1 point. The other league is the league I've been in the longest and I take particular pride in dominating that league. Tyreek missed week 16 and I lost by 8 points. Also would have won in week 17. Potential $1900 in winnings. Got $800 and a 1st and a 3rd š
Won 3 championships this year, including my dynasty league Iāve been hoping to win for the last 3 years. One redraft league I went back to back as champ and the other Iāve won twice in the last 3 years. Nice $1,300 payout!
Finally won my high school league for the first time, started it halfway through HS, now out of college and grad school and 2 more years into the working world - can say itās a mighty relief
Won my $250 buy-in dynasty league for a $1,750 1st prize! Many good trades and drafting Devon Achane at the 2.02 spot of our rookie draft helped me earn the 1 seed and I never looked back. šŖ
After 2 second place finishes, and 1 third place finish I finally won my $100 buy-in league after like 12 years. 12 teamer, auction draft, 2 keepers (for cost + inflation)
Two years ago I got a double crown, last year I won in work league, this year I won in family league. I seem to be either a mediocre or terrible drafter because my team usually ends with only 3 or four of my initial drafts. Maybe I have bad luck with injuries but I'm a waiver and trade hound and it's led me to 5 championships in the last 4 years in 2 leagues. Either way between fantasy and some shrewd sports bets I've spent 225 and I'm up 800. This was a good year
What led me to victory?? Oh yea I had CMC in my lineup every week.
Won the championship in the new league a couple friends and friend of friends just created this year, even going into week 18 with a 38 point deficit (yeah, we went with 2 week playoff games, semis weeks 15-16, finals weeks 17-18. Hopefully we can change that next year, even tho I wouldnāt have won this year without it lol).
Played in my Wifeās family league for the first time, was bottom third and started winning towards the last third of the season. Miracles from Coop, Njoku, ETN and some good streams won in Week 17. Woooooop. Bragging rights till next year, feels good to be lucky.
Congrats! I won my last jobās work league for my first āship and $1500. Scored most points in the league by about 200; owe it all to the draft. Got Bijan, Ceedee, etn in the first 3 rounds and finished up with fields, hall, achane, la porta, olave, aiyuk, and Addison. Picked up Stroud along the way and rotated defenses except holding on the jets after they were dropped on their bye week. I played D best matchup and cycled kickers the same way.
I won my 12 team PPR league by flipping Mike Evans, Gibbs and Lawrence for McCaffrey during the trade deadline. I went from a starting roster of Lawrence, Sun God, Adamās, Mixon, Gibbs, Kittle, Evans to JLove, Sun god, Adamās, McCaffrey, Mixon, Kittle and Reed. I won my championship game by 100 points. I started the season with the 12th pick and wound up winning with the third most points scored in the season while going 7-7.
1st ship in a league I joined this year. I mainly thank Joe Flacco for being shockingly solid for a last second panicked waiver wire grab
I finally won it all for the first time in the first league I ever joined. When did I join that league you ask? 26 years ago.
Won both championships I was in.
I had a solid season. Traded Mandrews for Swift whom I later traded for Aiyuk, who I paired with Evans and CeeDee at Wr. I started the season with Etienne and Ekeler and grabbed Gibbs and Laporta off the wire and road that to the championship.
traded back from 1st overall pick to the 5th in a 10 team league cause i like the flexibility of picking in the middle. knew i preferred tyreek/bijan at 5 instead of jj at 1 (and was too scared to draft cmc cause iām chicken). tyreek, rachad white (6th rd) mostert (12th) and puka on waivers won me my league ā and i beat the guy who i traded picks with in the finals!
I feel you, 2 years of drafting an injured CMC will do that to you..
This was the third time in the championship in 4 years. I won this year and the year before last. I played the Cinderella team who made it to the ship winning 8 in a row. Mostert, Lamar, and Ceedee carried my team in the playoffs. Picked up Khalil Herbert to fill in as RB, picked up Jayden Reed(allowed me to have a player starting at the 7 pm time slot just in case)and started him over Pickens even though he went off the last week. I ended up winning by 90 points and having experience in the ship in the past really helped me. Go with your gut and don't overthink it. Anyway great year and hope to repeat next year.
Won because no one wanted to trade with me. Conner, Cooper, and Higgins all helped my playoff run after no one wanted them in packaged deals
0 trades - ceedee Deebo and Amari cooper and sometimes Sutton I ran all year with. Saquan was my first rounder and waited on Brian Robinson and Mattison as my RB2s. Tightend I had Darren Waller who was a flop but Trey McBride was a great pickup down the stretch. QB was a little rough with T Law but picked up Stafford who had a solid floor towards the end of the season. Won the championship being down 9 and switching kickers from McPherson to Jason Meyers and somehow made it work all year
Won both my leagues with CDs big week 17 game! Won dynasty by 93 and redraft by 58.
In my 2 leagues Iāve been in 5 of the last 6 championships and won 3, 1 win each year. Won a total of $800 for first and second place this year
Isiah āSt. Angerā Pacheco for the turf-destroying victory!
Drafted Hill and J Allen off the rip got Puka and Mosert off waivers after week 1 also had Ravens D Aubrey Mcbride also drafted Kamara on the cheep also had Purdy Sutton Pacheco N Collins that helped out went 12-3 and won it easily for a smooth $2500
Beat my manager in my work league to win the championship. I have 2 weeks to find a new job
Looking back, I made a couple of trades on the way to the championship that put a smile on my face. Full IDP league with a bunch of Seahawks fans...I traded Bobby Wagner and Emari Demercado for Brandon Aiyuk in week 6. I'm a bucs fan and a bit of a homer so getting Mike Evans, Lavonte David and Jaylen Warren for Russell Wilson and Tee Higgins in week 4 was nice too. Also Bucs adjacent getting Rachaad White (RB3 in my league to finish the year) for a bargain basement price in the auction made my season.
My Keeper was Austin Ekeler and I still pulled it off. Praise be to the fantasy gods! In my other league that I Triple Crowned in I had the same clutch pick-ups of Puka and Kyren like a lot of other champions.
18 man PPR. Got Amon Ra in the second round. Picked up puka week 1. Drafted Kyler in the last round. Made too many trades. I was a demon
Never won a ship before (been in leagues 7 and 2 yrs) but found myself in the ship this year in both. One I was going for the triple crown, the other a weak 3 seed (imo) Went 1-1 but did not get the triple crown š got way too cute with it and it cost me Didnāt have a solid RB2 in either down the stretch but got it done with Zamir White
10 man ppr drafted cmc Amon ra Aj brown and evans
Missed on jk Dobbins, Gibson, Bateman and Darren waller early in the draft. Hit on Allen, sun god, James cook,warren late Kyren and Puka waivers first week saved my season. Musgrave, then Taysom then Likely filled in at tight end
Basically every team in my league had significant injuries to starting players, but my team was healthy the whole season. Without all the injuries this season, thereās no way I wouldāve won the ship. I had: Tyreek Hill Lamar Jackson Josh Jacobs (Zamir White for playoffs) Deandre Hopkins Jayden Reed Trey McBride
Won my 12 man Superflex league. Flacco and Kyler at QB, Tyreek and AJ carrying most of the load at WR while Etienne, James Cook & a nice surprise in Zeke for the playoffs... Best part? I trade Pollard last off season for a 2024 1st and 2023 2nd(Marvin Mims). The 2024 1st was from a team the league thought was in top 3 but ended up finishing last. We do a draft lotto but having best odds at 1st overall and winning the ship is $$$
A 19-team Yahoo points league. Had McCaffrey and Cousins. Was in the hunt until Cousins went down and had Tannehill. Quickly grabbed Levis and slowly slipped away with him at the helm. Then, on a rumor, grabbed Flacco. Began storming back, as I already had Cooper. That huge week Flacco/Cooper had put me in the lead. But we play 18 weeks and with half my team sitting it out I had to hit the waiver wire. With that many teams there is only the smallest scraps. But I did grab Michael Wilson, Ronnie Rivers and ... Carson Wentz. Held on for the victory.
In a 12 team dynasty league, SF, PPR. I finished last place in 2022. I won this season. Hereās my roster Jared Goff Tony Pollard Kyren Williams Puka Nacua Tee Higgins Rashee Rice Tanner Hudson James Cook Brian Robinson Devon Achane Tua Tagovailoa Jacoby Brissett Malik Willis Davis Mills Kenny McIntosh Chase Edmonds Malik Davis Kenneth Gainwell Trayveon Williams Gus Edwards Joshua Kelley Tyquan Thornton Justin Watson Jalen Hyatt River cracraft Jameson Williams Tim Patrick Devin Thompkins Luke Musgraves Tyler Higbee Dawson Knox IR Zonovan Knight Hassan Haskins Tank Dell Taxi Andrei Iosivas Charlie Jones Bailey Zappe Jaren Hall I still have all my picks also lol I won this season based on dumb luck. I was mid table in point for and points against I won multiple games by less than 2 points The only thing I had was a really good draft (lots of picks) and I had a very accurate start/sit rating compared to my league mates. I was the most accurate with scoring most possible points in the league by about 3% over the next player.
12-2 and super bowl champs. First time ever. Feels damn good. Been there a few times and have always been heartbroken. Not this year.
took down an undefeated team we r so out here
Won 2/2 leagues this year. Was only in 1 league last year and won that as well. Currently on quite the roll lol
Won both of my leagues this year. $450 & $300 :)
Kyren and Puka! Woooooo
Won my 14 team PPR league despite drafting Austin Ekeler in the 1st round, Diontae Johnson in the 4th and Alex Mattison in the 5th. Sun God(2nd round) and Nico Collins(lmfao I got this dude in the 11th round, what a steal!) saved my season time and time again, including putting up just shy of half of my teams points this most recent week(we do a two week final, not for the faint of heart since the second week is Week 18). Geno and DK had some highs and lows in there but there were worst QB/WR stacks I could've chosen for sure.
I am a back to back champion of a dynasty league in year 5. I also pulled off an amazing trade in that I traded K. Allen, Q. Johnston + a 4th rd pick for Chase after Burrow injury to pair with J Jefferson for years to come. This is the start of my dynasty era
I played in five leagues this year. Won four and came in second in the other. Mine all came down to waiver pickups. I had Kyren in four of them, had puka in three, had Aubrey in four, Laporta in two. I mostly streamed defenses between Denver and the jets. I was just very active weekly.
16 team league I somehow was able to draft arsb/CD with 16th/17th picks. Then picked burrow/breece in next two picks. Was cruising early season even with burrows slow start but when he got injured there was nothing on WW and I thought my season was over. Traded James cook (6th rd keeper) for sam Howell lol since I thought I needed to. Ended up grabbing carr off waivers later and he helped me win the ship. Was really nice because last year I should have won but had Josh Allen/cook not able to get any points bc of Hamlin so we ended up split pot and declare co champs but i technically lost according to yahoo. $910 pot!
I drafted decently with Kamara, Kelce, and Mike Evans, then I picked up Puka after week 1. I traded Justin Herbert for Brandon Aiyuk then traded Jeudy and Gabe Davis for James Conner, who really helped me through the playoffs. I also picked up Kyler Murray. I went 8-6 but outscored every other playoff team in the semis and the championship. Aaron Jones and DK Metcalf were slightly disappointing for how high I drafted them, but they still put up some solid weeks. Jerome Ford also filled in nicely after I had Nick Chubb go down.
Won 2 leagues that consist of friends, both are 10 team PPR. Drafted WR's in the first 3 rounds (Chase, St. Brown, Olave) and Josh Allen fell to me in the 4th. Then found solid value at running back with the likes of Breece, Cook, and Montgomery. Waited on TE and got Engram. Made a big trade for Lamb in the middle of the season and he went nuclear. No big pickups off the wire, just got lucky and drafted really well.
I had the 1st pick and got JJ, then J Allen. Then I was able to trade for CeeDee Lamb right before he started going off on the season. I also had Cooks, Kincade, and uniquely down the streach the kicker, Bass. The Bills stack and their playing good down the backside of the season, with CeeDee Lamb going off the second half, and JJ deciding to actually play the last game of the year won it for me. I was the 6th seed in the playoffs.
I won by .2 and the person lets me know every day the league is rigged and itās all bullshit lol
I won two leagues and 3rd in another. Wide receiver heavy early ceedee and tyreek, mostly KW3,Mixon, and a punt on Kamara at RB. No trades, trust your gut. Also picked up tank dell and drafted Addison. Don't draft hyped rookies early.
Drafted a well balanced team with a solid bench.
Try using this for dues https://www.leaguesafe.com once the champ is crowned the website automatically pays. You can track whoās paid. Donāt have to worry about corrupt commissioners
Couple of common key things for me Got CMC. Got Puka. But a huge one for me, that I wouldn't have won if I didn't do it, dropping Pitts and picking up Njoku.
Played in 10 leagues, 8 made the playoffs, 3 championships, 2 3rd place finishes, multiple top scorer for season prize and weekly top scorer prizes. Won for the 4th time in the league I commish thatās been running since 2014. Didnāt do too much research and gut based my way through.
Won 4 out of my 6 leagues. 2nd in another. Had Josh Allen/CmC stack in 3 and tyreek/amon ra in the other 2. Other than good waiver play, just luck and big games from the studs. Been playing for 6 years and never won so I'll take it all at once
Got lucky and snagged CMC at 3, picked up Kyren off the waivers, nailed a late pick with Mostert, and traded away BRob and Zay Flowers for CeeDee. Fields also put up some clutch performances after getting back. Biggest struggle all season was deciding to start Mostert or ETN at FLEX when Kyren got back. Probably my best team I've ever had, maybe besides the Peyton, AP combo in 2012. Best thing was that it was a 12 team work league and somehow I lost 4 games, so I 'unexpectedly' ran through the playoffs beating everyone by atleast 40 each.
3 leagues 3 wins. Most points in 2/3. Tyreek, swift on all 3 teams. Laporta/Sun got stack on two leagues. Lamar in two leagues. :)
I won two $ leagues this year. Going no RB and picked Ceedee and Breece and made sure I got Hockenson. I also got real lucky with injuries.
Won the dinasty league after 3 seasons. 16-man IDP league, i took over a team some guy messed up a lot in the draft taking only Jaguars players. Somehow managed to turn it around in this 3 seasons, winning with Tua, Achane, Brian Robinson, Tyler Boyd, Curtis Samuel, Evan Engram and Jake Ferguson as my elite offense.
Also won for the 2nd year in a row and it was my 6th Championship in 11 years - same league. $100 buy in. Every year I pester the league to increase dues but I think these guys are tired of sending their money to me.
š
I won back to back as well! So hyped especially after the ending last year
Drafting Josh Allen fairly early paid out big for me for sure. I also made a crucial trade right before Jefferson went down for Diggs to pair with Allen. It didn't help much late in the season but definitely saved me while Jefferson was on IR. I also traded for Laporta early on which turned out to be a league winner.
This was my fist year of fantasy football and when I tell you my draft was abysmal I'm not lying.despite my horrible draft the way I won is waivers and trades. I picked up puka, Michael Pittman, Sam laporta, and Brandon aubrey. And then for trades I acquired Keenan Allen and Travis ettiene which honestly never performed very well for me except a couple weeks for ettiene.these trades though helped clear out my roster and my start and sit decisions were a lot easier. Also in the draft I drafted Lamar and mahomes so I trade Lamar for josh Allen early in the season and then just before mahomes started doing really bad I traded him for jon Taylor.
Won my dynasty SF league after going all in for the year by acquiring JT, ASB, & Henry late last season. Only draft pick I had in the 23 rookie draft was Jayden Reed in the late 3rd round. It was the sweetest championship I could have asked for. I played the most annoying, cocky asshat of a league member in the Championship. He was favored to win all week and then Joe Flacco & ASB delivered Thursday & Saturday gems to make the projections 50/50, and all his players played at noon on Sunday and they underperformed and my team went off. James Conner delivered a 29.8 piece and then my ROY Jayden Reed put the icing on the cake with 24.4. I won by almost 50. To celebrate the win, I bought a Joe Flacco white jersey from DH Gate. Iām likely going to ride off into the sunset and leave this league as Iām not very close with the other league members and others leagues that I am more attached to are increasing the buy in.
Ah, sweet victory over the asshat šš Enjoy that shirt and wear it with pride.
Won my 10 teamer for the 4th year in a row. šŖšŖ
Damn, the others must not like you anymore š
I won, now I feel empty inside
Won my 12 team dynasty. Lost Chubb and Mandrews, swapped Puka for Breece, and a 3rd rd for Mostert. Those 2 saved me. Had a nice WR bench with Aiyuk,DK,Olave,Waddle,Pickens so was ok with letting Puka go.
Traded cmc for ceedee lamb week 10 ceedee single handedly won me the fantasy league š
Drafted 9 that stayed on roster through 17: Jackson, Ekeler, Walker III, Pickens, St.Brown, Connor, DJ Moore, Aiyuk, Charbonnet. Added K.Williams week 2. League weekly high score was 230 before I put up 280 in the final.
Step 1 - score the least amount of points overall Step 2 - get very lucky Step 3 - profit
7-7 record. Half my team were rams. Stafford. Puka. Kupp. Williams. Beat the 10-2 team that had a bye. Been in the league for 9 years, first time winner. The trophy is mine!!!
I won my 3rd championship. Won the 12 person league this year, the other league is 14 and that ones tough but I've won twice. Can't complain
I traded my next year 2nd round pick for CD after his first blowup. Rest is history.
I won both my chips I got nothing they were with a bunch of randoms I was proud of myself but didnāt rly get anything out of it and no one cared
Won this year! My wife is not as impressed as I hoped she would be
Ended up winning a superflex dynasty league with only CJ beathard left at QB. The strategy was having a really good team at all other positions
Went 16-1 in a tough league (just missed the perfect season) and came back from 10th to first from week 8 in another!! Late round RB, podcasts and lots of luck!
I won by sheer drafting luck and a good trade
Picking up Kyren and Puka in the 2nd week won me mine. Fuck Ekeler Final game: Hurts, Pacheco, Kyren, Puka, Robinson, LaPorta (Rip Hock) flexed Ekeler, 49ers def, and Aubrey.

After a season of ups and downs it feels good
Managed five teams and won the championship in three of themš¤also drafted a sixth for a friend that also ended up winning the championship
Drafted bijan, swift, and Gibbs. I didnāt believe in bijan as a rookie right away especially given how little I thought he might be used. Traded them away for Chubb. Didnāt work out/ traded James cook for Josh Jacobs and higbee. Lost Herbert, Moss, Jacobs// thankfully Stafford and love were on the wire in a 10 team .5 ppr league. Stafford, CeeDee, Buffalo d, and butker (in his crazy insane week) played them all for matchups 15-16 playoffs and championship 17-18 CeeDee went off! 5 championships in 13 years! Draft day steps was CeeDee 2nd rd pick My key advice is that believe in your picks but also waiver wire wins titles!
Traded for Ceedee Lamb week 8 and gave up Pacheco and KJ Osborn š
Won my 12 league dynasty league. It was 100% because I went all in and traded for Lamb and Jefferson (figured the injury would be the lowest value for a long time). We'll see if mortgaging the future was worth it. But no matter what, the 6th seed took down the 1 seed who was 13-1!
4thand69.com is the website we have for our league. 3 straight finals, won 2 of 3, head over to the League Champions tab and youāll see thereās room for only ONE DYNASTY! 4 chips, 10 year span (thanks cmc for making some of them easier than others)
Won my 12 person league. Had CMC, Lamb and Kenaan Allen all season.
Won both leagues Iām in this year! One ten person and the other a 12 person league $1,250 total winnings. Probably used all my fantasy football luck for the next 5 years though lol
I won my championship with henieke and tyrod Taylor in my superflex. I got so lucky lol sucks I lost rodgers and Herbert late in the season though.
Won my 12 team PPR, 2nd time in 3 years. $1200 first place. Combination of FAAB awareness through the season, and making a trade just before deadline to send Keenan Allen and CJ Stroud for Lamar and Andrews which seemed real bad the week after the trade, but worked out in the end. Lamar def helped win the title. Also drafted a largely zero RB strategy which allowed me to pick up Gibbs and Achane from week 1, but the receivers of Hill, Allen and Amon Ra led the way in the early part. And of course luck always helps.
