Discussion 2024 NFL DREAM TEAM Discussion

[KLo30]

Welcome to NFL Season 2024

I'll begin organising official SCS leagues in the near future. They be named SCS NFL 1, SCS NFL 2, etc.

SCS LEAGUE SIGN UP
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf7CM2kROXgubEYvEuTR8xR-JnFbYIK2Rdv_UAbSCiqWtRtEA/viewform?usp=pp_url

Teams will be allocated at least one 14 team league.

Teams will be allocated X 8 team leagues. (X = number of leagues so that teams play all other teams. Last season this was 4. Allow for 5 leagues, at least, for this season)

League codes will then be sent via PM to avoid ghost ships.


SCS GROUP (767910)

The SCS Group to join.

2024 ROOKIES



KICKERS - Three breakouts to watch
Joshua Karty, Los Angeles Rams: The rookie sixth-rounder replaces the Brett Maher-Lukas Havrisik combination. The former was money early in the season, and this offense is potent enough for him to succeed.

Will Reichard, Minnesota Vikings: The Vikings weren't a good red zone offense last season, and that trend will continue. But they also have a better option now than Greg Joseph in this other rookie sixth-rounder.

Cam Little, Jacksonville Jaguars: Little is also a sixth-round rookie in one of the best incoming kicker classes. Brandon McManus was a borderline K1 in the job last season, and the Jaguars' offense can have familiar bogging down late in drives.

 

[KLo30]

Sportsdeck opened on the 21st August last year, so we are about a week away.

The first post will be updated with the group code once it opens, and the official leagues post will be updated as leagues are allocated and teams begin to enter.

As per previous seasons, if starting a league please use "SCS" at the beginning, but don't use numbers in the title, as they are reserved for the official leagues.

Good Luck for the coming season.

If you want NFL stats data these guys are insane.

NFL Football Stats | TeamRankings.com

Eg the first option under Team Stats -Scoring Offense- has 24 sub options. And most of the stats offered have that kind of break down. Much of it you would never need but if there is stat for something NFL these guys usually have it.
