Im usually in 2 cash serious leagues and 1 no cash to screw around with. How many leagues do you play in? Serious and casual.

1 non-serious with family. It's $20 and we have fun. Not sure I'd want to try to keep up with multiple leagues. It sounds like too much.

I always find myself focusing on the family/friend league. Its more about the pride and shitalking in that one. But I would suggest doing a random league in whatever app you use. It helps with sleepers, handcuffs and free agents. If its users are active, you can even test out trades.

If the lemmy league makes it, 3. Otherwise 2. I think more than 3 becomes work and unless you draft the same players it gets to where everything is good for you and bad for you at the same time. I don't like playing in big money leagues either because ~~i suck at fantasy~~ its too stressful.

Agreed. I think 2 is perfect because Im bound to have good week with one team and it makes almost every game interesting to watch. What is this about a lemmy league?

@[email protected] is trying to start a league for the community but we're short a few guys. Here's the invite link if you're interested.

Thanks, I would join but all my leagues are in yahoo right now. If you guys make the switch letme know.

1 redraft, 1 dynasty. I'd probably prefer 1-2 more redraft leagues but I don't want to do it with randos. Maybe a work league or something next year.

In dynasty the whole team is keepers but I have Chase, Waddle, Bijan, DJ Moore, Justin Fields, Dalton Kincaid. Feel pretty good about the long term quality of the team.

[–] Squander 1 points 1 year ago

Dam all the dynasties im in we have 3-6 keepers then draft each year. You have a good squad- Bijan's a good pick, he should be top 10 for the next few years.

Late to this thread but I feel I need to share my newfound freedom with others. This year I'm going from three leagues (one redraft, one keeper, one a ridiculously deep dynasty) to just one.

I commish the redraft league and want to spend more time making newsletters and mocking people with stats than I do worrying about trying to find a replacement 5th WR in a 16-person dynasty league.

Feels good, man. Feels really good.

Lol I am entirely behind that idea. Spending time shit talking will make that league incredibility fun to be in. Right now Im getting roasted for trying to run up the bid for Allen and getting stuck with him (I already had Hurts).

[–] TeaHands 2 points 1 year ago

I currently need about 50pts from Allen so CLEARLY that's going to happen and we'll both be the ones laughing.

Got down to just one last year and it was honestly really nice. I was in 7 at one point and all my teams sucked because I couldn’t stay on top of players. The one I’m in now is a league that’s been around for 10+ years and everyone tries their best so it really means something to win

[–] Squander 1 points 1 year ago

I've found the less the better. Having to set a bunch of rosters and worrying about injuries/ handcuffs becomes a task rather than fun.
