I'll be taking part in my first every dynasty league in a few days when we hold our startup auction. I'm very torn on how I should approach this. I love the fact its an auction and I can shape my team in the direction I want to. My problem is I keep waffling on how I want to attack.
Over the years I been very successful in redraft leagues by loading up with depth and talent at RB and WR while waiting on QB and TE. This approach has been even more successful since I mostly play in guppy leagues where QBs are massively overvalued IMO. So just when I'm getting excited about attacking my dynasty in a similar manner I hear this Matt Waldman guy (and others) talking about career longevity being better with QB, WR, and TE. And if you want to be competitive longer you should target elite QBs, WRs, and TEs. The idea makes a lot of sense to me, but puts me a little bit out of my comfort zone, since I won't be able to spend much on elite RBs if I'm targeting an elite QB, WR, and TE. Personally, I just want to dominate my league even if that means a complete 180 in my normal draft strategy.
My question to those experienced in dynasty leagues is this: looking back on the dynasty leagues you've played in what has been the most successfully built teams from the beginning? A better question might be: if you could get a redo knowing what you know now, how would you build your team? I know the start up draft is only part of overall dynasty success, but I want to get off to the best possible start.
League roster settings are 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1RB/WR/TE flex, 1TE, 1D/ST, 1K, 15 bench spots.
