NHL Best Bets for Tuesday (11/19)
Kenneth Le
Welcome to FAAB Whisperer – my weekly free agent bidding and waivers projection column. You may use these FAAB projections in conjunction with Nelson Sousa’s FAAB sheet – Nelson’s Notebook. Both will focus primarily on mid to high-stakes formats such as NFFC and FFPC.
This column will be published every Wednesday morning of the regular season. I’ll break down the top FAAB targets at each position (QB, WR, RB, TE, DST, TK) with a priority order/ranking and a bid amount range for each player. Bid ranges will be based on a starting FAAB of $1,000.
NFFC and FFPC run their first FAAB Wednesdays (10 p.m. ET). NFFC’s second run is Saturday evenings (10 p.m.) and FFPC’s is Sunday mornings (10 a.m.).
I’ll use the $350 NFFC Online Championship (aka, the OC) as the basis for our weekly data, specifically the %-Rostered of each player. The $350 mid-stakes contest is the perfect framework as they inspire an extra level of seriousness and accountability from entrants, thereby providing a more realistic grasp of the market and projected bid results. Using the OC also allows for a large enough sample to draw from as there will be over 400 leagues (5,000 teams) in this national contest.
Week 2 Overview
Week 2 is usually a major overreaction week. Thankfully, there weren’t any major injuries to key players and the talent in free agent player pools are rather light. Why spend $80 chasing Alec Pierce’s Week 1 stat line or overspending on Jeff Wilson who may or may not be featured on TNF depending on if Achane and/or Mostert are active? Almost any large bids we make will likely be forced and unnecessary. We should always be pursuing roster upgrades but need to be careful that we’re not dropping players we may soon regret. Being aggressive with FAAB early in the season only works if there’s a reason to be aggressive – selective aggressiveness, if you will. This doesn’t seem to be the week for that.
Don’t forget to utilize the FTN High Stakes Discord where Nelson Sousa hangs out and answers your questions.
Only players at 90% or under rostered (Roster %) in the NFFC OC are listed.
