2022 Pit Fantasy Football League - Dynasty League Filled, Members Please See New Thread

Ms I/O takes fantasy football way too seriously so I'm walking on eggshells since her draft graded out around a D or so.

The Mahomes pick was a bold stroke that the draft analysts just can't appreicate.
 
I'm excited to see what the new board software is capable of on these writeups
 
Since I was disowned from my home league a couple years ago, this is the only League I play in.

So I decided to join random ESPN leagues, but you can only just enter into a draft waiting room, and your pick is randomized once the draft starts, and I would leave and re-enter the waiting rooms until my name was listed in the top 3, but every time I'd go into the draft I'd pick 8th/9th/10th in a 10 team league.

So I kept joining leagues until I got a high pick.


I know that no one cares AT ALL, but these are my two favorite teams that I managed to get (BTW, I LOVE it when FF players draft every starting position first before filling in the bench....taking a DST in the 8th round and a kicker in the 9th when preseason rankings for those two positions are NEVER worth anything just makes me happy.)

I was going to go for backup QB and TE's in this one, but people seemed to only take one, so streaming during a BYE should be fine there. This gives me the most options for matchups and BYE weeks. Though 7 RBs and 5 WRs is a lot.
 
It would appear that I am doomed to another year in the cellar of the league despite what I thought was a solid draft. Super.
 
I had 3 positions score 1.3 points or fewer (Mooney [1.3], Panthers D/ST [1.0], Irv Smith Jr. [0.0]) and another score 3.9 [CeeDee Lamb]


Also, my #1 pick, Lamb, will be without a serviceable QB for 6-8 weeks. FUCK FANTASY FOOTBALL!!!
 
Lost Dak, Elijah Mitchell, Najee Harris, and Chris Godwin in my other league so I really appreciated a great week in the Pit. Losing that many guys in a 20 teamer you can just turn off the lights, but since its a 12 teamer Im gonna try to hang in there on the waivers.

Lost Dak here and in my wife’s work league. The latter didn’t happen last year but apparently started up again this year and we didn’t realize it so autodrafted. So I guess I’m going Marriotta here and Cousins there. I regretted the Dak pick at the time and really did once the game started and especially now.
 
I was the brain trust that started AJ Green over Michael Thomas..... However, all three of my QB 1's (cough, cough) are on the block! Murray, Wentz, and Geno the Man-O
 
The I/Os won their matchups by less than 4 points combined. I feel asleep during the game last night and assumed I lost until I opened the app this morning.
 
Based on my new job, the likely recap schedule will be Wednesdays for the most part, feel free to put any suggestions for what you’d want to see in here
 
WEEK 1: A NEW HOPE

giphy-downsized-large.gif

​
And so it begins again, another NFL season is upon us and with it come dreams of fantasy success and ultimate victory. Everyone has a brand new team with fresh faces and seasoned veterans and hopes that this is the year that everyone stays healthy and reaches their ultimate fantasy potential. What a load of bullshit that hope is, thank you for the swift kick in the nuts, reality.

Already injuries abound, players went largely unused by their teams, and the Week 1 overreactions can commence. Congratulations to those that were able to stave off disappointment for a week, but for the rest of you that are like me, there's no one I'd rather go through the fantasy misery with than you guys. With that, let's take a look at what happened in Week 1.

WEEK 1 STATS

WEEK 1 WINNERS & LOSERS​


Based on the overwhelming response of suggestions in-thread (😐), I have decided that instead of weekly awards of my choosing this year, we will go with weekly winners and losers. I will try to be as generous as I can and still cycle through everyone over the course of the season, let's get started.


WINNERS

mako: What a debut for the son of mako's mom! After spending most of the draft logging out and back in again and possibly having half his team selected by an 8-year old, mako showed up in Week 1 and dropped the highest score on the week in a big win over last year's Rookie of the Year, Triple. A massive week from the Steelers' DST and solid performances across his top-line starters gave mako a great start to his first Pit League season, we will have to see if he can maintain that momentum moving forward.

Mr. & Mrs. I/O Deac: It was a family affair in Week 1 for the I/O's, with both halves of the power couple squeaking out close wins. Mrs. I/O had to sit and watch in horror on TNF as Josh Allen and Cooper Kupp put up almost 60 points combined before her team could even take the field. But behind surprise #2 overall pick Patrick Mahomes and kick return specialist turned Randy Moss, Devin Duvernay, Mrs. I/O grabbed the lead back going into SNF and hoped to hold on. With Dallas's offense sputtering, the Cocks' Cowboy menage was unable to get fully going and Mrs. I/O hung on for victory.

On the other side of the family couch, Mr. I/O had the opposite TNF experience as Stefon Diggs got him out to a solid lead heading into Sunday. And with Amon-Ra St. Brown adding another chunk of points in the early slate, Mr. I/O had to be feeling good about his chances, but with Karen Rodgers a total non-factor and no real scoring in other skill positions, it looked like a false dawn for Mr. I/O's team. But fortunately for Mr. I/O, Barca's squad did not fare much better and with Dak's injury, Mr. I/O just needed a low-scoring, low-offense affair in Seattle on MNF. He got what he needed and despite a very close call late, Mr. I/O was able to snag victory despite scoring the 17th most points on the week. Congratulations, Team I/O, enjoy the week of matrimonial harmony before Week 2 begins.

Defenses: Week 1 produced some rough actual games, but for fantasy defenses, Week 1 couldn't have been better. Seventeen teams scored at least 6 points (no small feat with our league rules) and seven of them actually scored more points than the default 10 they receive for being in the lineup. Of those top 17, twelve of them were owned, giving those team owners an unexpected boost where more often you are just hoping for non-negative scoring. It will be interesting to see as the weeks go on whether the offenses can get back to previous years' scoring capabilities and relegate most defenses to non-factors, but for at least Week 1, the defenses mostly reigned supreme.

Watching Football: Man it felt good to be back. Even though I was largely stressing over fantasy football and my gambling, having football on all Sunday and flipping through games as they got interesting was a tremendous feeling. Not to already get too sappy in the Week 1 recap, but this is the good stuff and I very much enjoy what we do here, having that and football back was awesome.

New Board Software: Writing this recap is already so much easier than the last couple years, hell yeah.

LOSERS

Young Buck: I can't think of a more brutal Week 1 than what YB had to go through. Three zeroes in the lineup is rough, and to have your highest scoring player be a defense is always a gut punch, even in a week where defenses did extremely well. And to top it off, he had to watch Edarem's lineup go supernova and Saquon almost outscore his entire team. Tough to take any positives from such a week, but with JK Dobbins scheduled to be back in the lineup and the 49ers not having to play in a monsoon, there is still hope that YB can rebound and get back on his feet. But the vibes aren't great.

Barca, Peach: Injuries are a part of football, but it is always sucks that little bit more when a Week 1 injury to a major player cripples your season before it really can ever begin. A lot was expected of the Dallas offense this season and preseason predictions had Dak and Co. as great value selections, but now that is dead. Dak is out for 6-8 weeks and Barca has to hope that he can find enough juice out the QB position to get back into the playoff scrap, but the QB going out is devastating. Similarly for Peach, a starting RB is almost equally as devastating a loss and Elijah Mitchell's IR trip will mean a revolving door of shit options will be making weekly appearances for Peach's open FLEX spot.

Further injuries are likely, especially some notable Week 1 injuries that could linger (Keenan Allen, Najee Harris), but to lose key cogs in the team for extended periods of time right out of the gate is always that special sort of sucky. My condolences to Barca and Peach, may the rest of your team sleep in bubble wrap.

Post-Draft Grades/Projections: Thank you ESPN and FantasyPros for making me think my team maybe didn't suck and that I finally had a chance to make the playoffs in this league. Really appreciate you building those expectations so the reality check in Week 1 was just that much more painful.

WEEK 2 PREVIEW​

This section will be more fleshed out in the future as we get a little deeper into the season and have more matchups with potential playoff implications. For now, I look forward to all of the matchups and am hopeful that everyone who had bad weeks in Week 1 rebound, and everyone who had good weeks in Week 1 maintain. Best of luck to all this week!
 
Thanks for taking mercy on me and not putting me with the LOSERS....though we all know where I belong after this terrible week.
