I generally agree too, but I will take the QB if it's close between a QB another position, with the exception of an elite RB. I would take CMC and Cook before I would take Mahomes.
This is great advice!! A Superflex draft unlike standard 1 QB leagues become som unpredictable, and you have to be flexible. Do you join a ‘run’ in positions, or see the value on the board and wait to draft a position?
Just knowing the top 16 doesnt really help. What matters is the value from one pick to another. The above statement helps you in the first 2 rounds, it doesnt really help you understand rounds 3-last.
I would take a QB with the 1.03. The guy you think is the safest play to be in the top 5. Probably Herbert for me. My guess is that the league will go QB crazy the first few rounds because "QB's score the most" so you should still get quality for 2.10 and 3.03. However, if your league historically doesn't pound QB's and you think you can get a couple top 10 guys coming back then take CMC/Taylor at 1.03 and pound QB's coming back.
Given the scoring system, I would just take Mahomes or Herbert at 3 and then BPA at rounds 2 and 3. It's tempting to take Taylor or Jefferson or Ekeler at 3, but you have to wait until pick 22, you don't know how bad the QB run is going to be. I wouldn't be surprised if 15 QBs are off the board before it comes back to you at 22. Which means...if 15 QBs are off the board in the first 21 picks, you are going to get a really good player at 22....maybe Chase or Dalvin Cook. Given the scoring system, makes sense to get a QB that is going to throw for close to 5000 yards. You won't get that in round 2.
This is my thinking as well. I had the 12th pick last year and six QBs were already off the board so I took Davante and Hill. This league also awards bonus points for TDs of 40+ and 50+ yards so big play guys are also a premium.
Well first of all, while I think super-flex leagues are the best format in magic-football I think your league may have skewed too far in favoring QBs. Next season I suggest a modest scoring change and make it 1 point for every 50 yards passing and not 1 point for every 10 yards passing. 300 yard games are just too common now. That should give other positions an opportunity to compete for the top spots. You will still flex a QB almost every week, but you will have the viable option flex a different position if something terrible happens and you end up with only one QB.
Wow 1 for 10 is wild.
I don't like Brady this year....so I won't be drafting him.
That's fair. Just one sites rankings, and was using it as an example of how crazy the qb rankings change when its 1 per 10 yards passing. That is a significant change. Lamar drops down to QB14.
Not sure he will fall to 2.10 in 1 for 10. I just plugged that into the DD and it has carr ranked 21 overall in that format.
Just really adjust your qb rankings with your new scoring. I don't think people will be as privy to this and you can clean up because of it.
With that kind of scoring discrepancy you most certainly should go QB-QB as that will give you a huge weekly advantage over any team that didn't get a top 10 QB.
You're DEFINITELY going with whoever is left between Mahomes, Allen and Hurts. Whether you take a QB in round 2 depends on who is there. How many QBs were gone before pick 22 last year?
12 QBs were taken last year in the first 2 rounds.
So that means that you're taking what would normally be available at the turn in a 1QB league. So say 11-12 off the board, you can get a really good RB/WR at 22 and come back with another QB in the 3rd. In this format, you almost have to take 2 QBs in the first 3 rounds.
With that kind of scoring I'm surprised it was only 12. I would likely get two QBs with your first three pics.
Seems like that issue shouldn't have necessarily pointed you away from QB as you still play two (most likely) unless the scoring isn't QB heavy to the point that you flip a coin for SF between all positions.
The good thing about doing that from the 4 spot is: 1) you are still looking at a QB with the potential to finish top 3 (Burrow, Lamar etc) and 2) you may make the owners in the 5-12 spot panic reach for QBs with the 5-16 picks pushing some better talent down to you at #17.
That's solid strategy, and you'll probably be surprised to see that someone will likely take Jefferson top 3 so you end up with one of those QBs you want. Just had my 12 team SF redraft last night and we had 6 QBs go in the first round, and JJ went 1.02. two more QBs (Fields & Lawrence) went early second. The guy at 2.09 had his choice of ARSB/Lamb/Adams/Waddle or Henry/Pollard/Barkley.
I think it depends on how many spots you can 'superflex' out.
you got ARSB in the 4th and Waddle in the 5th? After starting Ekeler/Chubb in the 1st/2nd, it doesn't matter what the rest of your team looks like, you win this draft. Even in a 1QB league with 4 pt passing TDs, you shouldn't be able to start a draft with those 4 players. And the fact that your QBs (Cousins plus who?) aren't Baker & Tannehill means you did very well amigo...
Always value dropping in the drafts when you have to start 2 qbs, full point ppr and 6pt tds for qb passing it usually means you must have 1 great qb and 1 avg qb. Every team is weak at something no matter what imo.
