Probably after my pick, but I was delusional and wanted a dual threat guy.
I ended up with Burrow and won the league though so it wasn’t the end of the world. That said, I lived in QB purgatory for most of the year until he got back from his injury and I really don’t want to do that again.
Seriously though, 6 QBs went in our 3rd round last year. QBs have routinely gone in the 2nd round forever. It’s actually insane.
Is it 4-point passing TDs?
Yes. Allen obviously gets all the rushing stats though and is good to go off for 40 any week.
Hmm, then it doesn’t really make sense that they go so early. But honestly that creates value for you if you wait, which I’m sure you know (and is why you waited last year), but recency bias towards the hell you went through last year is hard to overcome. How many rounds? And how many backups do you end up drafting?
The best way I can describe it is by saying we have a league full of people who don’t play fantasy football “the right way.” Everybody just kind of does what they want. We have one guy who doesn’t watch any football and used to take a QB in the first round every year and then somehow always ended up being good anyway.
I ended up with Fields, Stroud, and Penix from the draft last year. I lucked into getting Justin Herbert in a trade that also gave me Nico Collins. I then ended up with Dak somehow, and traded him and Nico for Puka to the team that lost Burrow to his injury. I then got Burrow as a free agent after our whole league ignored him for six weeks, and he came back and won me the championship alongside the most stacked roster in our league’s history.
I can trade my way into a very talented roster under pretty much any circumstances but I’m going to try not to do that this year.
16 rounds I think. 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 2 FLEX. Half-PPR.
I remember you doing much wheeling and dealing, you’re quite fortunate to be in a league that will actually trade, many I’m in refuse to take my calls (they always think I’m trying to rip them off). Honestly you should probably be on the lookout for that happening the way you were able to stack your team.
But yeah, I was asking to say just take 3 QBs late, but you’ve already employed that strategy (and somehow whiffed on all 3 lol). But with 16 rounds that’s plenty of room. That said with a 4 point passing league running QBs ARE worth exponentially more, so leaning that way is smart, but it’s not the end of the world if you don’t get one. Obviously you just won with Burrow, and I’m sure Stafford scored a lot of points. But they do have to throw a lot of TDs to keep up.
Flip side, I DO think Allen could go off more so than normal under Brady.
The only other team I put any thought into is the Browns. My two best friends are dawg pound guys.
I told them after the draft how much I loved the KC Conception pick. As long as you don’t expect number 1 WR numbers, and deploy him more in the “offensive weapon” role, he’ll flourish. Basically, exactly like they did in thier preseason game. So I’ll keep a lazy eye on on that.
Oh… and I hope the Steelers and thier QB go 0-17.
Justin Herbert under Mike McDaniel. Can he bring Herbert over the top?
To be fair.
Since 2020 Detroit Lions Record vs Divisions
NFC E : 9 - 3
AFC W: 4 - 2
NFC N: 18 - 18
NFC W: 6 - 6
AFC N: 5 - 5
AFC S: 4 - 5
NFC S: 4 - 8
AFC E: 1 - 4
For whatever reason the lions have struggled against the NFC S.
Didn’t we go 4-0 against the NFC South in 2023? Are you saying we’ve played them 8 other times besides that scheduled year and lost every one? (I assume it doesn’t count our playoff win over Tampa)
The numbers have to be wrong somewhere, the Lions did go 4-0 against the South in 2023, lost to Tampa Bay in 2024, but we beat them last year. That right there would be 5 wins.
Edit: Lions also beat the Falcons in 2020. That was the Todd Gurley falling into the end zone game.
I feel like we beat Atlanta in front of an empty stadium back in 2020 as well, though I don’t know if it’s SINCE 2020 or not. Edit, beat me to it.
That feels more like it. @DBend144 where did you get those numbers? They seem to be off.

Yea i found an error on a couple of games. Ive corrected
6-6 vs NFC south.
Only 2 divisions lions are under 500.
AFC North 4-6 and East1-4
NFC south as a whole is under 500 vs Every other division. And at 500 vs AFC South.
Afc south is all under 500 vs other divisions excluding AFC East.
How long before Davenport gets hurt (he just signed with the Bears) 
If Burrow can win another CBPOY
What McDaniel offense looks like in LAC
How bad Miami is going to be, do they win a game?
Mccarthy and Rodgers in Pittsburgh
Two of those are against Buffalo (with a 3rd coming this year), and we played Miami in NE back in 2022 during our 1-8 start. Bad timing is at fault for our record there as much as anything.
Did he really? That guy has made so much cash to almost never play. Career earnings over 40 million.
