To my mind the 4pt passing squeezes the QBs together more closely and makes them less imperative. Add on to that the PPR, and QB value drops even more according to VBD principles. This is probably why Vick was kept in your league - he runs the TDs in. Here's an experiment to try mocking...

Gates at 3.11 is not bad at all! Is Romo usually there in round four? How do you feel about him? Do you think the production you will get from those top QBs vs. the production you'll get from Romo is worth what you are asking to trade to get those guys? As I said earlier in the thread, I...

Wow. This is, in my opinion, the worst case scenario. Nevertheless, you have to prepare for it, and if I were staring this situation down, I would have to take Mendenhall here, even though he doesn't catch too many passes. This is because I think he represents the least risk here. It's...

What kind of justification are you looking for? Strictly quantitative? To convince myself that this was the right strategy for the back end of the draft, I mocked over and over and over using different strategies. I then compared the teams. I was more satisfied with the teams that I got from...

I already had a live draft with my long standing league picking 11 out of 14 teams, non PPR, no Flex, standard scoring. Prior to the draft I did upwards of 50 mocks with varying strategies. Most of my mocks were done at Fantasy Football Calculator. Part of what I say here might change due to...

Prelude: My friend league drafts live every year, and this year we drafted early because of life/scheduling issues for everyone. This happens a bit, so we have a friendly rule that if a drafted player goes down in the preseason we get three days to ask for his backup before he becomes available...

I posted under Matt's article, but I believe the idea has merit, particularly if you are drafting out of 8 or later spot. Matt's article does specifically address a standard scoring, no flex lineup requirement, therefore you'd have to think a little harder to apply it to your particular league...
