Here’s my team. Drafted last night in a 12 team league. The pos draft room froze during my pick & the computer picked the Falcons defense & free agency starts tomorrow so I’ll likely replace them, anyway. Still can’t believe I got both T Hill & Chase with the 8th pick. The pic isn’t the best quality for some reason. But, it’s still readable.

Wow. No idea how you got those guys in a 12 team. I like your bench too. I was big on Brob, Jaxon and Muth. That's a solid roster.

I haven't used CBS before, but I've heard nothing but issues with them and ESPN.

With both Chase and Hill, there will be weeks you will absolutely murder the squad you are facing.

Ty. I have no idea, either. Lol. I was in constant disbelief throughout the entire draft. I was pissed going into it bc I NEVER get a good slot. This is like the 6th draft in a row that I had pick 7 or 8 to work with in 12 team leagues.

But, I about shit when Hill was there at 8. Then, Chase at SEVENTEEN. And, it kept going somehow. I think Smith-Njigba is gonna have a big year. The new OC loves to utilize the slot & JSN will be reaping the benefits. Same for Muth. As a Steelers fan, I hated the Arthur Smith hire for OC. But, he loves TEs, so, Freiermuth should get plenty of targets.

I’ve used CBS for probably 25 years now. The actual format is solid. My only real complaints (although they are big complaints) are with the draft room & their news updates. Draft room always glitches out at least a cpl times in every draft, costing a pick.

The news/injury reports are horrible. They’re notorious for not posting updates in a timely manner. Like, there will be no new update on game day, leading you to believe there are no issues leading up to kickoff. Then, at 1:05 they’ll post, saying, “so & so is out today.” Screwed me good a few times. But, I learned my lesson a long time ago & haven’t paid attention to their injury reports in at least 10 years. Wasn’t as bad in the past & is strangely getting worse by the year.

ESPN sucks. A few of us in our league have issues with it just randomly logging us out, both on PC and phone. Which really ******* sucks when you're scrambling to grab somebody off the wire fast or make a last-minute lineup change.

I've looked over everybody's teams in this thread, and I like 'em all, but I just don't know enough about the league this year (so far) to offer any useful comments. Well, except that getting Chase 17th is insaaaaaaaaaaaaane. XD

I love Tyler Boyd, but Tennessee's o-line was one of the worst in the league last season and they didn't exactly improve it by leaps and bounds in the off-season.

You mean by drafting the #2 LT available? Signing a very good veteran center, and adding THE BEST oline coach in nfl history?

Yea other than that they did nothing at all to improve the OL.

I think he's saying that one of the worst Oline's in the league isn't just going to turn into a top10 unit unless *drastic* changes are made. PFF still grades them pretty low for 2024.

Only the Jets made such a jump, but it was in part because of their injuries last year, while also drafting Olu Fashanu, and signing Tyron Smith, Morgan Moses and John Simpson. Their entire starting Oline will be 80% different (and upgraded) from what it was to end last season.. only a healthy Tippman was there, and he was a rookie. It took all that and it still only bumped them like 15 spots.. and us fans are also still skeptical lol.

You're right, they improved -- Latham and Cushenberry should both be solid. But Callahan just doesn't have much to work with on the right -- Randunz (the third most-penalized player in the league in 2023...nine false starts and two holdings, five sacks allowed in 11 games) and Petit-Frere are barely starter material. It'll be interesting to see how the situation develops, but I believe that even with their new additions, Tennessee's gonna allow at least 50 total sacks this season.

The Bears defense vs. Tennessee is an absolutely solid fantasy play this week.
