Non PPR -- you are crazy.
You only start 2 RBs and 2 WRs and no flex ? What a waste of a lot of talented players in that league. Most leagues start 2 RB, 3 WR plus 1 flex.I even play in 1 league where we start 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE and 2 flex for a total of 8 players and this is in a 12 team league.
Yes but I didn't want to go into the complexities of the scoring and bore you guys....but in a nutshell the benches are relatively small, you can only carry 4 RB's and 4 WR's TOTAL plus 1 RB or WR so you could carry 5 RB's and 4 WR's or vice versa. In addition, each team is only allowed 5 add/drops for the ENTIRE year.....so yes there are guys on waivers that normally wouldn't be but everyone in the league is forced to draft well with the system.So with all that said and taking into account the favorable QB scoring...what would you do at 3? I'm firmly on the Cutler/Kolb bandwagon and refuse to take a QB early so that's not an option. I'd rather let the others overpay in the first 3 rounds for a QB and load up on my position players.
Normally I would...but I know for a fact the guy at #6 would take AJ and other than one of the RB's that's my ideal target in the first round. Not sure the guys at #4 and #5 would trade up to 3...and then again there's not even much difference in those spots.
Can it work? Yes. For example, last year you could have gone Fitzgerald or Andre or some other non-conventional route in the top 3, picked Ray Rice and Cedric Benson in the middle rounds, and everything would have worked out great. That said, it is much riskier to go this route because you then MUST hit home runs with your rb picks later. The smart thing to do is go with MJD or RR and go with the best wr avail (assuming a worthy wr is still on the board) in rd 2. The reason you do this is because the dropoff from MJD/RR to whatever rb you would take in rd 2 is likely to be greater than the dropoff from Andre to whatever receiver you would take in rd 2. The thing about fantasy football, though, is that there are no guarantees. Going Andre at #3 reduces your chances of having a good draft and, therefore, a good team. However, if you are really confident in your ability to draft well in the middle/late rounds and do well in your league's free agency/waiver period, take the risk.
See, this is the line of thinking I am not sure I agree with. I think the drop off from the top tier WRs is equal to or greater the drop off from the top teir RBs. Also, like others on this thread I have questions about MJDs durability after his heavy workload last year. Plus I hate his offense. Those concerns aren't there for Rice, but he could have his TDs vultured again and I expect his pass catches to come down somewhat. I think 'dre is almost a sure thing in that Houston offense, which I think will be even better this year. To me outside of AP & Rodgers, AJ is the player with the least amout of question marks... if he is healthy he will get his.
Glad you brought this up, does anyone else think that CJ's 400+ touches last year and lack of much else on offense will lead to a downturn in his #'s this year? I've been on the ADP bandwagon for #1 pick this year, big time. "Robots" are a good summary of most drafters these days who pick on the previous year's accomplishments, rather than look at history and potential offensive decline.
Crazy is as crazy does...If it's start 1 RB and 4 WR's with no flex positions then maybe.
