Well, I just went to make a change, and couldn't bring myself to uncheck anyone I had checked, so I think that means this cake is baked.
Same here. Covid concerns expressed by others had me wanting to bump the QB position from two to three, but I'm totally incapable of giving any ground from the rest of the roster.
My final configuration:
24 players @$250.
18 players @ $228 if you factor out kickers and defense.
QB:
2 Spent surprisingly little money here for two QBs who should *easily* produce monster weeks on par with the super-elite tier QBs.
RB:
5 Went with a couple of high-end options (one who is probably not rostered to the same degree as his peers), two bargains I like a lot in best-ball format, and one mid-tier player I think is capable of top-5-ish production who will give me that splash of coveted uniqness. No duplicate byes at RB. While I aim to avoid spotlighting individuals, I'll share that I took the path less traveled and left the #1 Raven RB off my roster.
WR:
8 Did not throw any speculative darts here, but rather opted for inexpensive options who have a solid chance of emerging as the #1 option on their respective teams. I have two weeks where I max out with two WRs on a bye, and neither of these weeks align with the byes of my QBs, nor any $20+ player.
TE:
3 Let's just say I bit a bullet here; and, there's one mid-tier TE and one low-tier TE I like a lot and I picked both.
K:
3 DEF:
3. It's been about 5 years since I played the contest, but I've had a few deep runs (week 11-ish type stuff). I'm pretty sure that every time I got bounced it was because I got near-donuts from both K and DEF. So lived experience has me picking 3 each, even though the voice in my head says this where I have to accept risk and go with two each and hope that I can survive weeks 1-14.
