How did your team(s) do this year?

What was your best draft pick?

What was your best mid-season move?


My way too early 2026 top 5/6
1. JaMarr Chase. Healthy Burrow + Chase is too good.
2. Bijan. Won people titles. Algiers gone next year?
3. CMC. Another year of i dont want to draft him but if he's healthy I will be real happy.
4. JT. Colts have the line and he is elite.
5. Puka/Gibbs. If Stafford comes back Puka. He got people to the championship game. If stafford retires Gibbs.

How did your team(s) do this year?
1st, 2nd and 3rd. Should have been 2 1st place finishes but league vetoed a trade i had for Bijan because it made my team stronger this year while making another guys stronger next year (keeper league).
What was your best draft pick?
Pickens. In all 3 leagues. Got me to the playoffs.
What was your best mid-season move?
Michael Wilson.

Worst move: anything QB related. I had terrible luck

I'll start with my worst team

10-team league full-PPR had the 10th pick

took Nabers at #10 and BTj at #11

missed the playoffs -- no chance with those 2 draft picks -- the team could not be saved

my best regular season team was

Gibbs (1st) Taylor (2nd) Cook (3rd) plus Pickens (5th)

made it to the finals...but lost as 3 of the 4 had a quiet weekend

my best championship team I listed in the other thread

the key there was drafting the right WR's in the late 3rd / early 4th round cluster of WR's

it was the Evans, McConkey, JSN, Harrison, McLaurin, Higgins group

I took JSN...and he turned out to be the right choice

my other title team was a Derrick Henry-special

12-team league non-PPR

1st -- Henry
2nd -- Josh Allen
3rd -- Kyren
4th -- Garrett Wilson
5th -- Jameson
6th -- Dobbins
7th -- Pittman
8th -- Rashee

won the title matchup by 10 points

would have been a blowout the other way if Henry had an average to above average game -- instead of 45 points

BTJ and AJ Brown really did a number on people. You felt like they were must starts and they lost people weeks.

several more comments on 2025...

-- David Montgomery finished as RB26 (as Gibbs stayed healthy all season). Had hoped for more from a 5th / 6th round pick

-- Bucky Irving finished as RB37 in total scoring...and RB20 in scoring per game. He was a big 2nd round disappointment. Maybe it was the injury. Hopefully there are changes in Tampa

-- Egbuka was one of the players to get on and then get off. Great the first month...and unplayable in the second half

-- Xavier Worthy was a huge bust. 5th round pick who finished WR55 despite being in a great situation. He's just not a very good receiver (real or fantasy)

-- Courtland Sutton provided great value this year. Late 4th / 5th round pick who finished WR9 in half-PPR. Sometimes drafting good solid players is the way to go...instead of always chasing upside

Don't disrespect JSN…he should absolutely be in this top-tier conversation.

Best move was sticking with Chase Brown. He ended the season in a big way and brought me a ship home in one of my big leagues.

Second best move was Micheal Wilson. He was a stud down the stretch.

Worst move was not holding onto Traveon Henderson. I dropped him the week before he became relevant.

& BTJ burned me in numerous leagues.

Was 1 and done in the playoffs

best pick was JSN in the 4th....overall my draft was trash

best pick up was Stafford after Burrow went down

I picked 10th from a 12 teamer, and tried the zero RB approach. I went Nabers (ouch), London (great for a while then ouch), McLaurin (ouch), JSN (great), RJ Harvey (took awhile), Burrow (ouch)

Who was the biggest bust this year (injured excluded)?

Barkley?
Jefferson?

Jeanty?
BTJ?
McConkey?

How did your team(s) do this year?
My dynasty league team finished 8-6 and got bounced in the first-round of the playoffs, but I did run my playoff streak to 5-for-5 since the league started. I lost Burrow, Mike Evans, James Connor, and Bucky Irving to extended time injuries.

My ESPN buddy league team, now in its 23rd year, finished 6-7, but won the consolation title, which as you know, is super important.

What was your best draft pick?
I had the #1 pick in the ESPN league for the first time in 13 years, drafted Chase, then had to watch him suffer for a couple of months during the Burrow injury. Before the injury, my best draft picked was easily Skattebo, who averaged 17.4 points in the 6 weeks before the injury. I drafted him in the 9th round.

In the dynasty league, it's just rookies that get drafted. I took Tyler Warren with the 5th pick of the first round and he paid off all year until Danny Dimes got hurt. His use as a short-yardage rusher is exciting with his whole career in front of him.

What was your best mid-season move?
Not very sexy in ESPN, but I added Jason Meyers the kicker on November 5 just before he started a 3 week rampage of 19, 14, and 24 points.

In keeper league, I traded away Travis Kelce, one of my remaining OGs from the first draft, for Deebo Samuel Kelce scored only 1 TD the last 5 weeks of the year, was held to 1.3 vs. the Texans and 1.1 vs the Titans, and is now considering retirement.

You are right. JSN would be a reasonable 4th or 5th pick option.
