2024 FFLUS Preseason Analysis

By Grant Sterling



Thomasville Shockers 2024 Season Preview

Alright, fantasy football degenerates, listen up! The Thomasville Shockers are revved up and ready to smack you in the mouth this season. This isn’t your grandma's bingo night; we're talking about a team stacked with stars, ready to leave tire tracks all over the competition.

Let’s kick things off under center. The Shockers have not one, but two future franchise QBs in Caleb Williams and Bryce Young. That's right, two young guns who could turn out to be the new kings of the gridiron. And if that wasn't enough to make you nervous, their backfield is a damn nightmare. Jahmyr Gibbs brings the jets, Kyren Williams adds the grit, and then you've got the bulldozers: Josh Jacobs and Najee Harris. You want to tackle that mess? Good luck.

Wide receivers? Oh, they’ve got those too. Puka Nacua might have come out of nowhere, but he’s proven he's not a one-hit wonder. Tee Higgins and DeAndre Hopkins bring a lethal mix of youth, experience, and hands stickier than a toddler with a lollipop. This trio gives the Shockers a versatility that will keep defenses guessing—and probably crying by the third quarter.

Now, let’s talk about the defense because these boys aren’t just going to outscore you; they’re going to punch you in the throat and leave you gasping. The Shockers' defensive front is a nightmare with T.J. Watt and Jaelan Phillips turning offensive linemen into turnstiles. At linebacker, Nick Bolton and Dre Greenlaw fly around like they’ve got rocket fuel in their veins. And don't even think about testing their secondary; Devon Witherspoon and Trevon Diggs are just waiting to snatch any poorly thrown pass out of the air and take it to the house.

This isn't just a roster; it's a weapon. And the Shockers are not here for a friendly game of flag football; they're here to dominate, humiliate, and leave a trail of broken dreams in their wake. Mark my words: Thomasville is a top contender. The rest of you better lace up tight because it's going to be a rough ride.


TexMex Tacomunchers 2024 Season Preview

Fire up the grills, folks, because the TexMex Tacomunchers are coming in hot! And I mean scorching, like the kind of spice that makes grown men cry and scream for a glass of milk. Led by the electric Jalen Hurts, who’s just as likely to torch you with his arm as he is with his legs, and the steady hand of Jared Goff, these guys have more dual-threat action than your mom’s favorite TV drama.

The backfield? Forget about it. Derrick Henry is back to playing human wrecking ball, Alvin Kamara brings that sweet Louisiana spice, and young guns like Kenneth Walker III and James Cook are ready to light it up. Their WR corps is like a menu at a five-star restaurant: Stefon Diggs and Tyler Lockett bringing reliability, while Nico Collins and Brandin Cooks add the unexpected flavor that leaves you asking for seconds.

On defense, Aidan Hutchinson is just licking his chops, ready to make your QB regret every snap. Bobby Okereke and Jordyn Brooks are patrolling the middle like they’ve got something to prove, and in the secondary, DaRon Bland and Talanoa Hufanga are just waiting for you to make a mistake.

Bottom line? The Tacomunchers are ready to chow down on the competition. They’ve got the balance, they’ve got the talent, and they’re looking to feast their way to the top of the league.


Atlanta Alcoholics 2024 Season Preview

Pour one out for your liver, folks, because the Atlanta Alcoholics are coming for blood this season. And guess what? They brought the league’s best party trick—Patrick Mahomes. When your QB can throw a no-look pass while making a martini, you know you're in good hands. Backing him up are the unpredictable Deshaun Watson and the wildcard rookie Spencer Rattler. It’s a three-headed QB monster that screams "trouble" for anyone in their way.

Their backfield is a thing of beauty—or terror, depending on which side you’re on. Christian McCaffrey and Joe Mixoncan carve up defenses like a Thanksgiving turkey, while Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison add depth that most teams can only dream of. At wide receiver, Chris Olave and Jaylen Waddle are ready to make corners look silly and safeties feel shame.

On the defensive side, the Alcoholics don’t just sip—they gulp. Micah Parsons and Khalil Mack bring a pass rush that’s basically a quarterback’s worst hangover. Meanwhile, Jalen Ramsey and Kyle Hamilton are back there in the secondary, waiting to slam the door on any Hail Mary dreams.

Look, these guys are loaded with talent from top to bottom, and they’re not here to make friends. They’re here to win, drink, and leave a path of destruction in their wake. And I’ll tell you right now, no one’s safe.


Duval Dealers 2024 Season Preview

Alright, let’s get something straight: the Duval Dealers are walking a fine line this season, teetering between breaking out or breaking down. You got Trevor Lawrence at QB—Sunshine himself—ready to prove he's not just a pretty face with flowing locks. And with rookie dynamo Bijan Robinson in the backfield, they’ve got a spark. But sparks aren’t always enough to start a fire, are they?

Their receiving corps is a dice roll. Deebo Samuel is great if he’s healthy and Cooper Kupp is elite when he's not nursing some injury. Beyond that? It gets a little dicey, like betting your mortgage on a blackjack hand. And let’s not even talk about the tight end depth; it’s thinner than a Vegas strip steak.

Defensively, they’re serviceable but not standout. Foyesade Oluokun is a tackling machine, sure, but they lack that game-changer who can blow up a play single-handedly. And the secondary? Well, Budda Baker and Rasul Douglas are solid, but solid doesn’t win championships—dominant does. And this group just isn’t there yet.

If everything clicks, the Dealers could squeak into the playoffs. But if not, they're just another middle-of-the-pack team waiting for next year.


Flotown Fringe Guys 2024 Season Preview

The reigning champs, the Flotown Fringe Guys, are back to defend their crown. But don't get too comfortable, boys—every other team in this league wants to knock that tiara right off your heads. Josh Allen is a walking highlight reel, sure, and Kirk Cousins is, well, Kirk Cousins—serviceable in a pinch but not who you want leading the charge on fourth-and-goal.

The backfield has talent with Jonathan Taylor (if he stays healthy) and young guns Rachaad White and Isiah Pacheco, but there are durability concerns all over the place. At wide receiver, Amari Cooper and young buck Jordan Addisonhave potential, but potential doesn’t win titles; production does.

On defense, Gregory Rousseau and Trey Hendrickson are solid edge rushers, and their linebackers Ernest Jones and Devin Lloyd are more than capable. But that secondary better stay healthy because there’s not much depth behind Byron Murphy and the versatile safety duo of Jayron Kearse and Kamren Curl.

Look, Flotown has the pieces to make another run, but there’s a target on their backs now. Everyone wants to dethrone the champs. Let’s see if they can handle the heat or if they’ll fold under the pressure.


Gwinnett County Girthy Goobers 2024 Season Preview

The Gwinnett County Girthy Goobers—what a name, right? But don't let the goofy moniker fool you; this team is primed to do some damage. At QB, they’ve got a nice trio with Dak Prescott, Jordan Love, and the untested but intriguing rookie Bo Nix. That’s not a bad place to be.

The running back situation is solid but not spectacular with James Conner and Dameon Pierce leading the charge. There are durability concerns here, but if these guys stay on the field, they’ll do just fine. The WR corps? Now we’re talking. Ja'Marr Chase is a stud, Amon-Ra St. Brown is a target hog, and Keenan Allen still has gas in the tank.

Defensively, they’re well-rounded. Christian Wilkins and Derrick Brown anchor the line, and the linebacker duo of C.J. Mosley and Lavonte David brings veteran savvy. The secondary isn’t too shabby either, with Christian Gonzalezand L'Jarius Sneed holding down the fort.

The Goobers are in a good spot. If they stay healthy and get consistent play out of their QBs, don’t be surprised if they’re making noise come playoff time.


Tyrone Terminators 2024 Season Preview

The Tyrone Terminators are out for blood, and with a name like that, they better be. They’ve got the young stud Anthony Richardson at QB, bringing that dual-threat capability that drives defensive coordinators insane. And for a steady hand, they’ve got Matthew Stafford—a seasoned vet who’s seen it all.

Their backfield is packed with talent and depth. Breece Hall and Travis Etienne are electric, and with backups like De'Von Achane and Nick Chubb, they've got one of the deepest RB rooms in the league. At wide receiver, Garrett Wilson is a star in the making, and Michael Pittman and Mike Evans provide solid, dependable options.

Defensively, they’re a nightmare. Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby will terrorize quarterbacks all season long, and the linebacker tandem of Fred Warner and Bobby Wagner is about as good as it gets. The secondary, led by safeties Jalen Pitre and Camryn Bynum, is the cherry on top.

The Terminators are loaded. If they stay healthy, they're a lock for the playoffs and could go deep. This team is one to watch.


Mississippi Butts 2024 Season Preview

The Mississippi Butts—yeah, you heard me right—are strutting into 2024 with some serious offensive firepower. They’ve got Lamar Jackson, a human joystick who can turn any play into a highlight reel, and rookie C.J. Stroud, who’s looking to prove he can hang with the big boys.

The running back room is a bit of a mixed bag with old-timers like Ezekiel Elliott and the less-than-inspiring Jerome Ford. They’re not going to scare anyone, but they’re serviceable. But at wide receiver? Oh boy. A.J. Brown, Davante Adams, and DK Metcalf—good luck covering that trio. They’re a matchup nightmare for any defense.

The tight ends are solid with Tyler Higbee and the rookie sensation Brock Bowers. On defense, Chris Jones and Cameron Heyward bring the pain up front, while Devin White and Alex Singleton lead a capable linebacker corps. The secondary, with Minkah Fitzpatrick and Kyle Dugger, should hold its own.

If their key players stay healthy and the young guns step up, the Butts could be a playoff threat. But they’ll need everything to break right. Otherwise, it’s another year of what-could-have-been.


Carrollton Ditch Chickens 2024 Season Preview

The Carrollton Ditch Chickens—don’t let the name fool you—are another team on the bubble this season. They’ve got the talent to make some noise, but they could just as easily fade into the background. At QB, Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert give them a hell of a one-two punch, but inconsistency at RB could be their Achilles’ heel. Austin Ekeler and Rhamondre Stevenson are fine, but beyond them, it gets pretty thin.

Their wide receiver room is solid, with Justin Jefferson leading the way, supported by Chris Godwin and Christian Watson. But, again, depth is an issue. Defensively, they’ve got some pieces with Will Anderson and Cameron Jordanup front, but they lack game-changing talent elsewhere.

The secondary, led by Marshon Lattimore and Marcus Williams, is serviceable, but they’ll need to step up against the league’s top offenses. The Ditch Chickens could make the playoffs if things break their way, but they could just as easily find themselves on the outside looking in.


Woodstock Woollies 2024 Season Preview

The Woodstock Woollies are a true wild card heading into 2024. They’ve got Tua Tagovailoa leading the charge, with backups Geno Smith and rookie Michael Penix Jr. in the wings. That QB room is like a box of chocolates—you never know what you’re gonna get. The backfield has potential with Tony Pollard and D'Andre Swift, but consistency and health will be key.

Wide receiver stars CeeDee Lamb and Tyreek Hill can light up the scoreboard, but after that, the talent drop-off is steep. The defensive front, featuring Nick Bosa and Chase Young, can bring the heat, but their linebacker corps, led by Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen, will need to step up big time.

The secondary, anchored by Jaire Alexander and Derwin James, is strong, but they’ll need more than just their stars to make a serious playoff push. If the Woollies can stay healthy and get consistent play from their stars, they might surprise some people. But that’s a big "if."


Coweta Cowboys 2024 Season Preview

The Coweta Cowboys are riding into 2024 with more questions than answers. Kyler Murray is the big name, but his recovery from injury is still a concern. Behind him, you’ve got a couple of unproven rookies in Will Levis and Jayden Daniels. That QB room could either shine or sputter.

Their running backs, Javonte Williams and Brian Robinson, are fine, but they’re not striking fear into anyone’s hearts. The receiving corps could be interesting if rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. lives up to the hype, but that’s a big ask for a rookie.

On defense, they’ve got some talent with pass rushers Joey Bosa and Montez Sweat, but their linebacker depth is shaky at best. The secondary, anchored by Sauce Gardner and Jamal Adams, is a strong point, but they might struggle against high-powered offenses.

The Cowboys are a fringe team at best. If a few things break their way, they could sneak into the playoffs. But don’t bet the farm on it.


Tallanasty Bar Rats 2024 Season Preview

The Tallanasty Bar Rats are scraping the bottom of the playoff barrel, and they know it. With Brock Purdy and Aaron Rodgers—one still unproven and the other on his last legs—their quarterback situation is shaky at best. And if you’re betting on Saquon Barkley staying healthy for a full season, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

Their wide receiver room isn’t much better. Brandon Aiyuk and Drake London have potential, but potential doesn’t win games. On defense, Brian Burns and Danielle Hunter can rush the passer, but the rest of the defense is a patchwork of aging veterans and unproven talent.

If everything goes right—like stars aligning and winning the lottery on the same day—they might sneak into the playoffs. But don’t hold your breath. This team looks more like a candidate for an early vacation than a deep playoff run.
