Friends That Have Lost Interest in Fantasy

Yeah, woke NFL bullshite cost me a league that I had been in for 15 years. Half of the guys just gave up in the NFL in general

My cousin had been playing since 1986 and folded his league in 2020 during COVID Season.

I was in that league for 14 years and was shocked.

He just completely lost interest after playing since 1986.

I separate politics from football, otherwise I'd go crazy. This is my time of the year! I love football. Nothing could probably ever change that. I will say the feelings of getting "burned out" are more from doing too many leagues, Draft Kings etc. Trying to keep up with it all. Maybe that was part of the thing for your friend?

The complete departure of the standard RB has been a pain in the arse. You hardly have any bell cows left and it's a pain in the arse to deal with.

I do worry for the future of fantasy football because I think this will continue to happen. Or maybe it’s just a trend and things will go back to normal in another 5-6 years. There are cycles in the NFL

Damn baw, talk about not wanting to change with the times

Things change. Adapt or get left behind. Or be apathetic.

The RB by-committee takeover in the NFL has been a pain in the arse for fantasy. My comment isn't about adapting, it's just about the nature of the position in 2022 as far as playing fantasy football.

Its taken some excitement out of the game for me managing RB committees every fricking week when the middle of the season hits.

I think that all the services that provide ready to use fantasy football information has kinda ruined it some for me. I started FF in the mid 90s and other than a few magazines, there wasn’t an overload of information, especially up to date information. I always felt like I had an advantage going into the draft bc of the time and research I put into the preparation for the draft. Now, anyone can show up for the draft and have the latest and greatest cheat sheet downloaded from earlier today and be competitive. Just a small thing but it’s something that took away some of my interest.

I think this is a reason you’re seeing the zero RB strategy start to gain a little more traction on draft night.

A high scoring running back can be had from waivers nearly every year. Rookie Alvin Kamara. James Conner. Cordarrelle Patterson.

Nothing to suggest that one or more of the guys after the RB dead zone can’t finish top 24. It’s a virtual lock. Harris, Edmonds, CEH, Singletary, Penny, etc.

It’s not a strategy I’m personally ready to adapt yet, but say you’re picking at the back of the first round in a 10 team snake. You can start with Chase and Diggs, then take Josh Allen and Keenan Allen on your next turn. There are still a dozen starting nfl running backs on the board and virtually all of the really talented backups. I could see where it would pay off, particularly if you targeted the Tony Pollards, Alex Mattisons, Isaiah Spillers later in the draft. The guys that will fricking feast if a starter gets hurt.

Technology and say her name did it for me... I m get back into a coed couples league with the friends this year. It's been 6-7 years. Just not as fun. The league itself was never the thing it was the drafts.
