It’s that time of year again—when the air is thick with the anticipation of another fantasy football season. Draft day is looming, and while most of the Squid Squad league members are meticulously crafting their draft strategies, there’s one question that looms larger than all others: Will Will auto-draft again?
For those unfamiliar with the tale, let me take you back to last season. Will, a member of the Squid Squad, was notably absent on draft night. While the rest of us were locked in, sweating over our picks, Will was…well, somewhere else entirely. His team was auto-drafted, and the fallout was immediate. The league, full of die-hards and veterans, was unforgiving. Will was promptly kicked out, his seat at the table revoked as punishment for not showing up.
But that wasn’t the end of Will. Oh no, this story has twists that would make even the most seasoned soap opera writer blush.
After being exiled from the league, Will went on a digital rampage, leaving every group chat associated with the Squid Squad. Hurt and angry, he cut ties, seemingly washing his hands of the whole affair. It looked like we’d seen the last of him. But, as fantasy football goes, nothing is ever truly final. After some heated discussions and a few olive branches extended by key league members, Will was brought back into the fold.
Unfortunately, his return wasn’t the redemption arc we all hoped for.
The rest of the season unfolded like a tragic comedy. Despite his reinstatement, Will was a ghost in the league. He forgot to set his lineup three out of the last five weeks, leaving us all to wonder what exactly he was doing. His silence in the group chat, once filled with banter and camaraderie, was deafening. It was clear: Will had checked out. He’d become the guy who’s just there to fill a slot, a name on the schedule but absent in spirit.
And now, here we are again, on the cusp of a new season, with the same burning question: Will Will auto-draft again? And if he does, what does that mean for his future in the Squid Squad Fantasy League?
There’s a palpable tension as we approach draft day. The league has grown weary of half-hearted participation, and Will’s track record isn’t exactly inspiring confidence. There’s talk—serious talk—about this being Will’s last stand. If he pulls the same stunt, will we finally close the door on him for good? Or does Will have something up his sleeve this year that will shock us all?
The stakes are higher than ever. This isn’t just about fantasy football; it’s about respect, commitment, and the unwritten rules that bind us together as a league. If Will can’t find it in himself to fully engage this season, then perhaps it is time to bid him farewell.
For now, we wait. The draft clock will tick down, and all eyes will be on Will. This could be the end of an era—or the start of an unexpected comeback. Either way, one thing is certain: the Squid Squad Fantasy League will never be boring.
Stay tuned.
