Alright, so I’ve been diving deep into fantasy football prep for 2024, and let me tell you, figuring out who to pick feels like a whole new ballgame this year. I started, as I always do, by scouring the internet for rankings and projections. You know, the usual suspects – ESPN, Yahoo, all those guys.
Then, I started to compile everything into my own spreadsheet. Yeah, I’m that guy. I like having all the data in one place where I can sort and filter and play around with it. It’s a bit of a mess, but it’s my mess.
Digging Deeper
But just looking at projected points isn’t enough, right? So I started watching game footage from last season. I wanted to see how guys looked, who was getting the targets, who was running with power, who was just… feeling it.
- I focused on rookies, trying to find those hidden gems that nobody else is talking about.
- I also paid close attention to players who switched teams. How will they fit into their new offenses?
- And of course, you gotta factor in injuries. Who’s coming back from a major injury, and how are they looking in training camp?
My Takeaways (So Far)
It is still early days, It’s still pretty early in the process, but I’ve already got a few guys circled on my cheat sheet. For example I started thinking seriously about some of these players.
It’s is really a big puzzle. I kept tweaking my rankings, moving guys up and down based on the latest news, injury reports, and my own gut feeling.
Honestly, it’s a lot of work, but I love it. It’s like being a real NFL general manager, except without the millions of dollars and the pressure of a whole city on your shoulders. My goal is to dominate my league and hopefully get the win.
