Thank you so much for this video! It’s my first year doing fantasy and I’ve had so much fun that I started my own league for next year but I needed a clear and concise resource for new friends I’m inviting and you absolutely nailed this. Thank you!!!

[@fantasybay9888]

Thanks, I really appreciate it!!! Im so happy that it helped out! During the offseason, i will be putting together a course to help prepare people for the new year. Stay tuned!

@@fantasybay9888 wow I’m so glad I just found your channel!

My man what a FANTASTIC video! I just sent this to my friend who's new to Fantasy Football (she played last year with us but had no idea what she was doing and went 2-13 in one league and 1-14 in another, oof). This is gonna help her so much! Thank you!

[@fantasybay9888]

Thanks you, I really appreciate this message! Fantasy Football can be alot at first, I am soooo happy that this video is helpful. If yall have any questions just let me know, I am happy to help!

[@user-wf2pw6kn7p]

super helpful. ive always 'helped' but never had my own team before. super informational!

[@fantasybay9888]

Thank you so much, im so happy this video was helpful. Your gonna crush it this year! Please let me know if you have any questions!

[@joshuamoore6813]

Great video! I wish I would’ve had this last year to send to w few of my coworkers when we started our work League!

[@fantasybay9888]

Thanks i really appreciate it!! I should have made it sooner. There will be more training videos moving forward

[@notsosilentmajority1]

I've been trying to get my teenage son into fantasy and he seems somewhat interested but it looks like a younger person explaining it may be better. I'm going to send him this video and hopefully, he'll be interested and can take over one of my teams. I'll give him one of my better teams so he stays interested, losing is a good way to lose a new fantasy player. Great job on the video. Thanks. 👍

[@fantasybay9888]

You are such a good parent, giving up a good team so your child can have a positive experience! Is a true BOSS MOVE!!!! I will be working on a Fantasy football training course through the season to help out new players. Let me know if their are any topics you want explained and i will make a video about it!

First year for me, thx for the Video

[@fantasybay9888]

That's awesome, this years gonna go great! I'm happy my video was able to help. Please let me know if you have any questions!

[@michaelonder8888]

How do you select players. I need to understand the meaning behind the stats.

[@fantasybay9888]

That is a great question. I should make a video about that. So at the top level, i look for talent and opportunity. You want your player to have the best chance at scoring points. For WR look at targets and for RB look at targets and Carries. If you are between 2 players, there are a plethora of factors but the one of them is which team will score more points. More team points =more opportunities for your player to score points. There are 1000 different things that I look at but thats a good start.

[@user-hj3mo3nj7s]

Super helpful. I'm playing for the first time this year against 9 other seasoned pros - this will help a lot. With Christian Watson going down injured this week, would you pick Gabe Davis or Zay Flowers to replace him?

[@fantasybay9888]

Thanks, dont worry, you got this! This is very close but i would pick Zay flowers. With OBJ and Mark Andrews banged up Flowers should get more opportunities. I am slightly worried about the Ravens being up by alot and resting their starters but im more worried about that Jets defense. They should be REALLY good.

[@user-hj3mo3nj7s]

Thanks! Zay was a big hit this week. A first win of season, and by 39 points too! 😊

[@fantasybay9888]

Lets Goooo!!!!!!! I'm so happy it worked out, there is nothing like a week 1 Win!! Enjoy this one, then lets go get another!

[@lilchef6124]

Can you suggest a method or PDF to still play Fantasy for people who don't have computer or smart phone access?

[@fantasybay9888]

Honestly I have never played fantasy football without a computer/smart phone. I think its possible but it would be a lot of work. Why don't you want to use a computer or smart phone?

[@user-nf7kj7fm7o]

should I trade for Saquan Barkley, Mark Andrews, and garret Wilson. I would have to give up Ja'maar Chase

[@fantasybay9888]

Yes, Its hard to part with Chase but if your going to give me 3 players in the first 2 rounds. That will do it. I get why you would be hesitant but i think this is more than fair value for Chase.

[@EvanHerlihy]

This is exactly what I needed. My draft is tonight at 8pm, I’m in 9/10 draft slot, anyone have any advice?

[@fantasybay9888]

Im happy this video helped!!! I highly recommend checking out my draft tips and trick video. That will give you a run down on draft advice. Also know that Cooper Kupp and Jonathan Taylor are dropping because of injury i would avoid them with your first 2 picks (At least). Travis Kelce is banged up as well. You want to be safe with your first 2 picks and aim for upside later in draft. Please let me know if you have any questions.

[@EvanHerlihy]

Awesome, I’ll check it out!
