Leaguemates, welcome to The Tonestimate.
I made this site to house my perspectives for each DFS slate (i.e DraftKings daily fantasy contests) that I play this year. I intend on writing short posts that define exactly what kind of game script I’m building my DFS lineup against each week and measuring my accuracy throughout the season. This site may also help you, reader, as you build your 20-leg parlays each week. Surely you can trust The Tonestimate.
The other benefit of having this site is that it’s a good place for me to plant articles relating to the League of Leagues. So, here goes:
2024-25 League of Leagues: Team Owner Rankings
To preface, my intent with the above ranking is not to disparage my fellow owners. Instead, this is a wake up call to everyone (myself included). We have seen many of the same teams crowd the playoffs over the years: Michael’s Fantasy Team, Tompa Bay Gronkaneers, The Buttfumblers, and others. Some of these teams have been around for a decade. We are reaching a point where, if we don’t slow them down now, they will threaten the credibility of the rest of the league. How can we let just a few teams have all the wins?
I’m calling on all of us in the Mid tier to fight back against the Elite teams this season and recapture our ground in this battle. Michael’s Fantasy Team and Tompa Bay Gronkaneers are only a couple strong seasons away from being unassailable. This is the year to stop them. Don’t be mid. Prepare your teams accordingly. Be especially diligent in matchups against elite teams.
To the Relegation League Candidates: Innovate. Think and Do. Stop getting robbed at gunpoint by the other owners of the league. Learn from Ricky. Fight back. The only one of you who gets a pass is Wake Forest Forest Rangers who somehow has 7 wins and only 3 losses against Michael’s Fantasy Team this decade. Incredible.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. I’m looking forward to this season.
