Advice for New Dyanasty League Draft (1 Viewer)

[Ron_49ers]

At the end of July, I will be drafting in a new dynasty league. There are two 10-team conferences, each with their own draft and the draft will be 25 rounds in length, done live.

The scoring format will be a little bit different than you normally see, but not that much. QBs get 4 pts per passing TD and 1 point per 25 passing yards. RBs get the usual 1 pt per 10 yards rushing and 6 points per TD. They get 0.5 points per pass reception and only 1 point per 20 yards of receiving.

That's the major difference - receiving points. The WRs also get 1 point per 20 passing yards and 0.5 points per reception. Also 6 points for a TD.

My question is this - does this lower the value of WRs significantly enough to cause me to focus on RBs and a top QB in the first three to four rounds? Should I forget about getting a top WR and try to land Brady, Manning, Romo or Brees in those first three rounds?

Traditionally, I would try to draft 3 RBs and 2 WRs with my first 5 picks, shooting for a QB in Round 6 or 7, as well as a TE. Is this scoring format different enough that I should deviate from that strategy, in your opinion?? All thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

RBs are point monsters in that system. I'd look to WRs before QBs but I've read the QB by committee article.

Thanks ... I read that article too, which was part of the reason for my questions.

Your talking about dynasty, correct. I lean towards a single solid QB that you can start for several seasons in an initial dynasty draft. QBs have a long life in comparison to especially RB. I would bet if you picked up Manning or Brady the RBs available at the same spot will be out of the league before either of these QBs drop out of the top 6. I would be looking more long term with my initial draft than short term with my player decisions.

But I know others may disagree.
