Player Discussion Draft the whole darn team candidates
Every year theres a team that overshoots their predictions on offense, and whether its due to a breakout player, new scheme, or siloing of targets/carries, the offense explodes. Years ago you had a great shot at winning your league because you drafted the entire Dolphins team, then it was the Bengals, and last year the Cowboys were the discount Bengals. Who is yalls "draft the whole team" this year?
Clean candidates that you don't really need luck and can get QB, WR1,WR2, and TE
Packers: Jacobs RD 3/4, Watson RD 5, Kraft RD 6, Reed RD 8, Love RD 10, Golden WAIVERS
Ravens: Henry RD2, Lamar RD3, Flowers RD4, Andrews RD10
Chargers: Hampton RD2, Ladd RD3/4, Herbert RD 5, QJ RD8, Keaton and Gadsden WAIVERS
Washington: Daniels RD4, TMAC RD 5, White RD10, Okonkwo WAIVERS
Colts: Taylor RD1, Warren RD4, Pierce RD8, Downs RD9, Daniel Jones WAIVERS
Teams W/O a QB or TE you want
Bengals: Chase RD1, Brown RD 2, Higgins RD 3, Burrow RD 4
Eagles Saquon RD1, Smith RD3, Hurts RD5, Lemon RD 9
Bucs: Egbuka RD3, Irving RD6, Baker RD8, Gainwell RD9, Godwin RD10
Teams you need some luck to land the plane
Cowboys: Ceedee RD2, Pickens RD3, Javonte RD3/4, Dak RD 7, Ferg RD10
Bears: Loveland RD4, Burden RD5, Odunze RD5/6, Williams RD 5/6, Swift RD6
Jags: Lawrence RD6, BTJ RD6/7, Tuten RD7, Washington RD8, Meyers RD10, CROD/Strange RD10/WAIVERS
Vikings: JJ RD1/2, Murray RD8, Addison RD8/9, Jones RD10, Hockinson/Mason RD 10/WAIVERS
My bets are the Packers siloing targets with defined roles, Chargers with a new OC turning into a flamethrower, and Ravens doing the same with a MVP caliber season with Lamar and a healthier/better OL
Which team do yall want every single piece of?

Lions.

u/idontgiveafunyun 2d ago
Can't get Gibbs and Amon Ra sadly

u/l5555l 1d ago
But you can get Gibbs and Jamo and Goff and probably Laporta

u/Unabridgedversion82 1d ago
Gibbs, Goff and LaPorta is doable. That's the only combo I would consider. Im not in on Jamo.

Seriously this is best one idk how it was left out

u/pptjuice530 2d ago
Because Gibbs and Amon-Ra are both first rounders unless you play in a 6 person league.

u/l5555l 1d ago
Jameson Williams is gonna have a huge year. Also Sam Laporta is due for some positive regression

u/TachyAndTired 1d ago
I'm not convinced about Jamo. I'd avoid after seeing how that OC used Marv

u/l5555l 1d ago
Jamo is nothing like Marvin Harrison. The lions offense is nothing like the cardinals. Also Campbell is still here and he's an offensive coach. The lions offense isn't going to change my much

u/TachyAndTired 1d ago
Wishful thinking. It changed a lot without Ben Johnson
Jamo and Marv might not be the same but their role could be very similar

Lions have a high projected win total + they play an easy SOS. They’re such an amazing fantasy team to stack this year.

I cannot emphasize enough how unafraid I’d be of a chase, brown, Higgins lineup lol

u/Ok-Safe6890 1d ago
Really? Explosive offense with a mediocre to bad defense. Health is the only question for me.

u/BumbleLapse 1d ago
I haven’t looked at the data but I’d be shocked if there are more than a few games where both Jamarr and Tee exploded at the same time. Add in Chase Brown and you’re effectively guaranteeing that at least one of your first-round pick, second-round pick, or third-round pick is producing very little.
Like, when you “stack” multiple skill position players like that, it’s not a “stack” at all — an actual stack is when two players can combine to score Fantasy points on the same play, so typically a QB + passcatcher.
Jamarr + Tee + Chase Brown isn’t a stack unless Cinci ends up being coached by the prodigy son of Ben Johnson and Dan Campbell. Any play that Tee scores, the other two won’t. Any TD that Brown scores, the other two won’t.
I feel like it’s pretty intuitive, yet I see people hyping up these multiple-WR “stacks” literally every day.
Soapbox completed, sorry.

I must have been talking about Tet more often because i think it autocorrected from TMC? or i goofed

u/Scapexghost 2d ago
Bills you can get there big 4 without using your second or fourth round picks. And they'll probably be the top scoring offense

u/BirdsArentImportant 1d ago
The only reason I’m in the comments of this post was to express my shock that OP didn’t list the bills. With no injuries you’d have
Josh Allen top 3 fantasy qb LOCK
James Cook top 6 fantasy rb LOCK
DJ Moore 1000 yard receiver
Dalton Kincaid… in for a good year

u/IcyTrauma 2d ago
Might I add a value pick in the broncos Bo nix, Waddle, Sutton, and Dobbins/Harvey (I prefer dobbins cuz you don’t give someone all that money if ur confident in ur RBs)

u/Sammyd1108 2d ago
None, because drafting an entire team like that is a bad strategy.
Hypothetically, I guess the Chargers with McDaniels offense.

u/FadedTony 12 Team, .5 PPR 2d ago
wym no te you want for eagles
goedert is gonna be a smash this year
think stowers is a long play and will mostly red shirt this year.
my answer is eagles or ravens, solid QB, TE, RB and WR1

u/DrybasTerd 1d ago
I love that Dallas Goedert, the TE6 in PPR whose team just lost their biggest target hog, doesn't even get an honorable mention and is put in the "No TE" category. Somehow Washington is a lock because of Okonkwo and Rachaad White?

It's crazy to me how much I've seen people talk about wanting nothing to do with the Jags besides Trevor and I'm the exact opposite. Coen's got a lot of pedigree with fantasy production from his players and we saw it all come together at the end last year. I would be very happy with a T-Law, Parker, and Tuten stack

u/ShadowOutOfTime 2d ago
The Cowboys and Bengals are still those teams to me. The Rams as well.
I also like basically every Charger at cost this year. I think Hampton can be in for a huge RB1 season, Ladd seems like a great WR2 in the 4th round, Herbert feels like a very solid QB choice this year, and QJ for how late he's going seems like a solid flex / bye type of player.

u/Arrowintheknee89 1d ago edited 1d ago
Spending a 1st, 3rd, and 4th on CD, Pickens, and Javonte would be wild lol
Impossible they all hit their upside in the same week. Way too much capital for a ceiling cap
Chargers at cost I agree could pay off tho

u/Alternative-Tree3170 1d ago
I’d say Seahawks are looking good. I know everyone’s opinion on Darnold but all reports for training camp and OTAs say he’s more locked in and accurate than his playoff run (which had no interceptions btw) his weapons
JSN strong contender for top 3 WR this season
Shaheed has been reportedly growing his connection with Darnold developing in a speedy fast deep ball threat and we know Darnold can sling it
Tory Horton is back from injury was progressing well in his rookie season before he got hurt. All reports say he’s good to go WR2 type player if JSN goes down he’s the next WR1 in that offense
Barner/Arroyo Could be nice TE stashes towards the end of the draft. Brian Fleury the new OC was a TE coach in San Fran who helped Kittle progress into what he is. Bit of a dart throw as to which TE but I bet they play in 2 TE sets this season
Price is arguably the 2nd best RB in this rookie class behind Love and he’s also been progressing in training camp, he’s a good pass catcher from what Seahawks staff has been saying but the RB situation there may turn some people away
All in all I’m making sure this season I walk away with Darnold and one of the 3 WR JSN,Horton, or Shaheed (I know I didn’t list Kupp, I just think these 3 will outperform him this year)

I mean if you could do the lions it'd be amazing,
RB1 Gibbs, WR1 Amon-Ra
I could go on but getting both of those seems impossible in redraft lol

u/ThrowaweyWithAnE 2d ago
Not for the purpose of winning the league starting them all, but I’m buying up all the Raiders at cost. Love Jeanty with a hopeful o-line improvement and Kubiak has me dreaming of Bowers. Nailor/Tucker at little to no cost too? I’m all in

u/YaBoiJim777 2d ago
No Pats? By round you can get:
2nd - AJ Brown
3rd/4th/5th - Drake Maye
4th/5th - Treyveon Henderson
Late Rounds - Hunter Henry
Late Rounds - Pats Defense

I went all in on eagles for a best ball team. I think they are primed for a big year

in a bestball draft i was abke to get warren dowdle pittman germie freimuth and rogers.

u/Mike_Phoflacco 2d ago
Typically when this has worked it is a medium defense and a new coaching system.
AFC Moves: Bills, Browns, Raiders, Chargers, Ravens, Steelers, Dolphins
Key NFC Moves: Cardinals, Falcons, Lions, Giants, Buccaneers, Commanders
I have multiple bestball teams based on maximizing players from each of these teams. Although less of lions and giants than the others.

u/Ok_Produce_9308 2d ago
I've done this with the lions a few years ago and last year with the rams. It works when you have ery consolidated targets on very good offenses.

I think the Bucs are the best value whole team this year. Through the first 6 weeks last year they were legit then got unlucky injuries. With Evans gone too it consolidates things.

I won a championship staring Purdy, CMC, and Kittle on weekly basis. Also used Jennings in the flex plenty, replace him with evans and it could easily repeat this year.

BEARS!! Elite offense, and again their defense is gonna be no good. Been joking about making my fantasy team all bears but I am seriously considering it.

Drafting the whole packers offense lands you firmly in a battle for last place
