Live Fantasy Football Discord AMA with Pat Fitzmaurice
Pat FitzmauriceHey @everyone. I’m kicking off the holiday with a Q&A today at 5 p.m. ET. Bring your questions and your fireworks to the Pat Fitzmaurice AMA channel. See you there!
DSL: 1.09 in a 12 person full PPR 1QB redraft, keeping Achane in the 14th. Most common to drop to me is AJ Brown. What RB would you pair coming back on the turn and would you stack Hurts with the 3.09?
Pat Fitzmaurice: I would not stack AJB with Hurts. I’m kind of worried about Hurts after his passing efficiency plummeted last year, and I don’t know if we can bank on double-digit rushing TDs again now that the Eagles have added Saquon. Hard for me to tell you which RB to target in the second when I don’t know who’s being kept. Here are my rankings, though: Pat Fitzmaurice’s RB Half PPR Rankings.
joepo: Hey Fitz. CCR and Pearl Jam for me. Contending team looking for a bridge QB2 in Dynasty (10 team half PPR). Have Herbert, Levis, and Lock. Going to be drafting Maye or JJ at 1.06. Eyeing Stafford as a cheap one-year transitional QB2. First off, what do you think of that idea? And would you keep it simple and do a package the 2.06 and 3.07 for Stafford and the 3.01, or try to reroll JSN (my current WR5) in the deal as well and go JSN, 2.06, and the 3.07 for the 2.01, Diontae Johnson, and Stafford?
Pat Fitzmaurice: Good choices, Joepo! If you’re contending, I think I prefer the second option since Diontae would be a really nice piece for you. And generally, yeah, I think getting Stafford as a bridge QB makes good sense for you if you’re a contender.
Sizzle5isAlive: Hey Pat, I proposed a trade in my dynasty league. I offered Tyreek Hill for Flowers, Wicks, the 1.04 and his #1 next year. It’s a 10 team league. I also have the 1.05 this year. Am I asking for too much, too little, or should I not be doing it at all?
Pat Fitzmaurice: I think you might be asking for a little too much, Sizzle. Just because Hill said before last season that he was probably going to play only three more seasons. If he still feels that way, now he’s down to two more seasons. You could try it, but I’d be prepared to drop the request for his 2025 1st.
chuckdog: @Pat Fitzmaurice I am drafting at 1.06 in half-PPR start 2 QB league. Who should I target at 1.06? Elite WR or between Bijan or Breece?
Pat Fitzmaurice: I’d probably go QB at 1.06 since you’re assured of getting one of Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Hurts, Richardson, or Stroud.
Pat Fitzmaurice: Thanks for all the questions, friends! Gotta run and record an episode of the FantasyPros Dynasty Show. Hope everyone has a great Fourth!
LIGER: I’ve been with you all for several years now, @Pat Fitzmaurice, and I absolutely love it! I currently have the MVP, because I’m in exactly 10 leagues and this (texting) is the very 1st time I’ve tried this. Goodbye @Pat Fitzmaurice. Enjoy the 4th of July!
