2025 Fantasy Football

 

My 2025 roster. 1qb 10 team 1point ppr

Just a quick non-traditional post since I have limited time tonight. Tonight was my 2nd fantasy football draft and you can see my roster above. I'm generally happy with it. Our league is an auction draft so my strategy was mostly draft the best available player. 

Though I didn't go "zero RB" on purpose, it kind of worked out that way. I got outbid on quite a few higher tier RB's so when it came to it, I got kind of desperate and went with my old standby Chuba Hubbard. He is an underrated back, but not the guy you want as your RB anchor. Same with Swift, neither back is exciting. The rest of my RB picks are more speculative. I do think Braelon Allen will be the RB1 on the Jets sooner rather than later, but the rest will probably need an injury to be useful or are on the Steelers. Yuck! 

QB is a question too. Last year I had Lamar Jackson as a solid play every week guy, but this year it looks like I will be streaming. I had wanted to get either a top 5 QB or a top 3 TE and it ended up I got Brock Bowers. I'm happy with the pick, the drop off from the top three TE's is a lot harder than it is for QB's and if Kylar Murry doesn't work out, I will have plenty of options on waivers. 

WR is obviously the strength of my team. Nico Collins is underrated, largely because he got hurt last year. But Drake London is great too, and I do think that Tetairoa McMillan will be a great pick. DJ Moore is a bit more questionable given the strength of talent at the Bears WR room, but he should at least be useful. And Pittman at least has Daniel Jones throwing to him instead of Anthony Richardson. 

Will I do well? Yahoo seems to think so, it says I will go 11-3. I think that's probably nonsense, it said I would do well in 2024 and I ended up limping into the playoffs with a 7-7 record. But I do think that my team should be good as long as the injury bug doesn't hurt me too bad. If it does, I could be in trouble, like I said, my RB backups are dependent on injuries to be useful. Half of fantasy football is riding the waiver wires and I will have to keep a close eye on any RB opportunities.
