Yes, I too, like your RB's and WR'sLove my team imo. Spending less at QB than almost any rosters I've seen here. It may bite me but I really like a couple mid-low QB's to put up QB1 seasons. Let's me feel really strong about my RB/WR/TE crew.

Weeks 10 & 12 are gonna be rough, as you chose to cuff your top 2 RB's. Just my opinion, but in a contest like this, I prefer not to cuff. The reason is, if my studs go down, my team will likely go down too. I would rather have spent the $13 it cost for Murray and Ware and upgraded elsewhere. The one thing I do like about your cuffs though, is that they are 2 of just a few RB cuffs that can produce like the starter if the starter goes down.After a week of thought and some rough drafts, here is my current submission:

this guy seems like a strange choice. why him?RB - Austin Ekeler - LAC/8 - $8
4 of last year's top 20 teams had either 18 or 19. You went with the "go big or go home" strategy with your RB's, so why not dump some of those lower WR's and trade up for Nuke? You know you want to!Tried to cut enough guys so I could grab Nuk but put me down to 19 total and that is kinda scary. Have a lot of high ceiling receivers but not a lot of consistency. Go big or go home was never so literal. Keep bouncing back and forth on 3QB vs 2QB (Essentially Luck vs Manning/Maholmes).

As a RB 4/5 in this contest, I'm looking for guys who can pop for a big score any given week. I also like guys who will catch the ball in their offense. Those points add up quick when you are getting 1 point per catch.this guy seems like a strange choice. why him?
I have had many combinations with 2 or 3 of the above players on my team. Currently have dropped them all to add a top 5 RB instead. That would leave me with only 4 RBs total....instead of 6 or 7. Would you rather have Chubb, Michel, Clement, and Ekeler or Gurley?this guy seems like a strange choice. why him?

Def rolling the dice there, haha.2 high injury risk TE would scare me
Ouch! My first reaction after seeing your WR corps was, "Did he only use $200?"My first pass. I kind of hate it, but I found it almost impossible to fit in elite level guys this year and have a team that I thought had a chance to compete. I'll probably change a few things before the season. I pretty much went exclusively with upside (or at least people that will outperform their cost). It's definitely a high risk team, but I'm hoping that Olsen gives me reliability at TE and a couple of the WRs break out a bit.

If your top stud is Carr,I just came here to read people ramble,
thinking they're not here to gamble,
My subscription wasn't free,
all I wanna know is two QBs or three?
Good catch....I believe that last year RBs got 1 point per reception. Now it's 1/2 point. That does change things.You should double check the rules
I'm planning to pay up for ZekeIf your top stud is Carr,
you won't get very far,
just shell out the buck,
and take Andrew Luck,
in week 14 you can say hardy har.
pretty sure it was already 1/2 point. I think it's 1 point in the postseason contest.Good catch....I believe that last year RBs got 1 point per reception. Now it's 1/2 point. That does change things.
http://subscribers.footballguys.com/2017/17contestrules.phppretty sure it was already 1/2 point. I think it's 1 point in the postseason contest.

Ooooh I stand corrected. This might be a switch back though as I seem to recall a time when RB receptions were 0.5http://subscribers.footballguys.com/2017/17contestrules.php
Just looked it up....not that it matters for this year other than I need to change my thinking on RB selection.
I agree....I'm not sure how many years it was at a full point. I do remember back when I first started doing the contest that is was .5 as well. That does take some appeal away from the change of pace RB.Ooooh I stand corrected. This might be a switch back though as I seem to recall a time when RB receptions were 0.5

Think it changed back in 2012. It's been a while since it was 0.5 for RB.I agree....I'm not sure how many years it was at a full point. I do remember back when I first started doing the contest that is was .5 as well. That does take some appeal away from the change of pace RB.

It's a big boost to kickers imoDoes this mean to prioritize other positions?
I find it helpful. It's nice to see what people are finding for values. I've gotten a few ideas for myself. It encourages discussion. Without discussion, after a while you get people suggesting the scoring changed from 1.0 ppr to 0.5, when it's been 0.5I appreciate the strategy discussion...
The whatabout now, whatabout now, whatabout now, whatabout now, whatabout now stuff is useless.
Guy wants feedback on his roster. His strategy I don't agree with, so I am not commenting because he likely won't care to listen. Doesn't bother me, I just skip over it.@Dr. DanLike this. Why? What is this post for?
Literally a copy and paste of some random lineup. No value added.
Should be separate thread for this.
Generally we don't see the roster submissions this early by hey it's a thread about the contest strategy and even if just posting a roster without any notes you can still look at roster makeup. Personally I try to see as many other rosters as possible before final submission.Agree that I don't really care about anyone else's lineup, but it's an annual tradition at this time of year. The thread will be a long series of these until a few days after the contest locks, and then regular discussion can resume.![]()
I've been going with a smaller lineup the last few years, hoping for that year of no injuries. Probably will still play with qbs, lower end wrs and team defenses.Pretty solid. I would be somewhat concerned about week 9, but that's about the only thing I can find. Surprised this is possible TBH. the only problem is an injury to one of your high priced guys leaves you SOL.
