himmystyles 29 Posted October 28, 2023 For teams in first and need less win-now and more looking towards playoff planning, any specific tips or strategies outside of analyzing favorable matchups (esp qbs)? My league has very short (4) benches so stashing isn’t really an option. any specific players you feel might be good targets to acquire specifically for a playoff run?

makindollaz 40 Posted October 28, 2023 Find a Time Machine, go back in time about 8 weeks, and draft Tyreek Hill. I’m in 5 leagues…3 pay, 2 free. The #1 team in all 5 has Tyreek Hill on their roster. 3 of the 5 are undefeated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spends hours each week on his teams, is the first person to put in a waiver claim for the backup when a key starter gets hurt, at draft time can tell you just about everyone’s ADP without looking. Only reason she played is because we needed a 14th for an even number…she barely watches…so now everyone gives him crap about needing to check with her first before he makes a move since she’s 7-0 and leading the league in scoring by 200 points.

LaChup 154 Posted October 28, 2023 Pick up Darnold and sail into the fantasy heavens. He's the modern day Marcel Shipp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Cubs 132 Posted October 29, 2023 I buy my way in to the playoffs or I should say trade my way in. We keep 6 and can trade picks two seasons in advance. From the trades I made I do not have picks in rounds 1, 2, and 3 in 2024 and 1and 2 in 2025. If I could trade my 2026 draft picks i would. I'm all in this season. I start working the wire a week or two in advance to cover bye weeks. If a better option becomes available I'll add and drop as needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcmmidwest 98 Posted October 30, 2023 Tyreek and diggs 1st place but not for long ...lost Mike williams ,Rodgers,deebo,and few others that are replaced with scrubs getting hard to throw a team together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rallo 132 Posted November 8, 2023 I would target Jerome Ford/ KHunt/ Browns D as their playoff and 2nd half of the season schedule is fantastic. The Falcons also have a great schedule, and maybe taking a flyer on Allgeier in case Bijan gets banged up. QBs are tough, but Bryce Young has a favorable schedule if he and the Panthers can somehow improve and get things going toward the end of the year. WRs, JSN has a solid playoff schedule with the Seahawks, he could toward the end of the season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can always pick up a kicker next week and if the lottery ticket hits, you're golden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
