This is the first year our league has a flex starter and Im curious how that fact affects your drafting strategy?
We are not altering the number of rounds in the draft. Also to throw a monkey wrench into the conversation we draft a specific number of players at each position so saying, draft more rbs...wrs...tes is not an option.
I would thing that with an additional starter it de-vaules every other starter with respect to the final score so drafting a deep team (as opposed to either drafting most of your starting lineup THEN going for backups would be less optimal. Also seems like taking a backup rb is less of a good strategy since you need to start 1 extra player each week.
For informational purposes our draft is 18 rounds and we are starting 1qb 2rbs 3wrs 1 te 1k 1def 1 flex (rb,wr,te)
I added the last part for context and hope to keep this as a general discussion on the transition from non flex to flex leagues and how it affects drafting strategies, not a team specific question so it remains in the shark pool.
