WEEK 0
SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2024
Welcome back to another Dubtown Fantasy Football season! The draft is complete and the teams are set. Week 0 is underway and the first NFL games of the year are only a couple of days away!
First off thank you to the Tunzi family for hosting us every year and thank you to Tony Tunzi for setting up the draft and getting everyone together. We were able to get 11 players/owners to the draft in person where The Rock took down the rest of the pack in a Royal Rumble match to give Tyler Bowman 🚒 the first pick in the draft… or third pick.
You mean to tell me that we skipped the first pick completely and let it fall down the board right into the hands of the defending champion? Congrats to Greg Kirby and A, B, Cee Deez Nuts for returning as champion last year, but it is officially the 2024 season and that crown is up for grabs.
Rule Changes:
League increases from 10 teams to 12 teams.
Remove one FLEX position in the starting lineup. The bench slots stay the same at five players.
League dues increases from $150 to $200 per owner.
Third Place - $200
Second Place - $700
First Place - $1,640
Steals of the Draft: Globo Gym with a Mahomes-Kelce handcuff is the play we’ve all wanted every year, or maybe that’s just me. Calvin Ridley and Rhamondre Stevenson both falling to Round 7 may be good value if they can return to the glory they once had. Any rookie WR or RB that can be taken in the later rounds can look brilliant later in the season. But calling that a steal just doesn’t make sense - you don’t know what the rookies can do until a few games in. Stefon Diggs in the 5th, Keenan Allen in the 7th, Chase Brown in the 8th - STEALS!
Surprises of the Draft: The most obvious surprise of the draft is the number one pick falling down the board and then Cee Dee Lamb at first pick and CMC at second pick. Jayden Daniels in round 7 seems like a stretch, Justin Tucker in the 8th round, and (3) defenses going in round 10 are all very surprising picks! The defending champion not taking a QB until Round 13 and then selecting Deshaun Watson… YIKES! Seems like the magic is running out with that type of strategy. Zeke Elliott even being drafted is a surprise but he do still be eating.

OVERREACTION OF THE WEEK
〰️
OVERREACTION OF THE WEEK 〰️
I can’t give too much overreaction in Week 0, oh wait yes of course I can. I feel every year that my running backs are terrible and that the selection pool is so small. I think that I’ve learned that you need to speed FAAB early and often because you can’t take it with you and you might miss out on a Puka Nacua or a De’Von Achane if you wait until Week 5 or 6 to spend money. Still, I struggle to take the risk and on the flip side I don’t want to drop any of my rookies too soon, but I am not gonna wait around for a rookie to develop while I lose 3 of the first 4 games. The answer lies somewhere in the middle.
My preseason prediction is Kirby at the top and Wyatt at the bottom. It’s more likely that they will both be .500 and fighting for a playoff spot. Good luck to the league and Godspeed!
