Fantasy Football/Dynasty Football thread

Anyone else gotten addicted to Dynasty in the last few years where redraft just doesn't give you that fix anymore?

I'm in 5 dynasty sleeper leagues. One redraft league through ESPN, but if I'm being honest I don't really give it the attention that I give the other leagues.

I love dynasty and will not go back to a redraft format again.  I have been playing as a co-manager in my current league for 6 years and it's great.  And since it's a dynasty league, we are active all year with trades and draft talk.  Highly recommend it to anyone that likes fantasy, but make sure you get active managers that know what they are doing and committed.

What do you think of Tyrone Tracy the next few years? He's my big winner this season I'd say because I scooped up like 3 shares of him in the 4th round of the rookie draft this year. 

Also, completely agree with those last couple sentences. Nothing kills a dynasty league more than disinterested owners who either don't really understand the huge differences between redraft and dynasty, or are only actively engaged during football season, if even that.

Chase Brown looks like a really nice long term fantasy play.

Im not sure on Tyrone Tracy.  He has been a nice surprise, but I'm not sold on him long term. And being on a Giants team that may be resetting at QB/HC/GM?  Too many questions marks to go all in on, but if you already have him then it's a  cheap option to hold on to for now.

I've been in a 12 team dynasty league since 2012. In the 13 years our league has been active we still have 11 of the 12 original members. The guy that isn't in it anymore was kicked out for too many shenanigans/shady trade tendencies over the years until he royally pissed off our commissioner (who is usually a pretty mild mannered guy) and was booted.

There's no league as good as a dynasty league, all the guys in ours love it. Super active with trades.

I still don't mind redraft leagues but they aren't quite as fun usually, depends on the group that are members of the league, ultimately that's what makes a fun league regardless of format.

Definitely like him this year. This next rookie draft class is loaded at RB though and I could see at least 5-7 teams looking for their next RB in the first 2-3 rounds.

Redraft leagues can be awesome if you have the same type of guys you describe.  I’m the commissioner of a league that’s been going for almost 30 years with many of the current members being there from the start.  Great camaraderie and friendships!!!   It CAN happen in redraft leagues too.

The dynasty league I’m in (ironically, it’s the one started up on the LambeauLeap site years ago) just doesn’t have the same camaraderie to me, mostly because everyone in the league is basically just an anonymous name on the internet, we never really just talk about anything, rule changes/improvements are only made with some ridiculous tooth-pulling, and sometimes it’s just not fun.  But I still enjoy the building of my franchise and retooling when necessary.

 

Fantasy football is just awesome, though.
