I am trying to get a head of the crowd in my work pool.

Not a hard core group of people but a couple of guys do some research.

A little about our league

Yahoo 12 Team Standard Stats except for 6 pts Passing TD, -2 for INT, and 30 yards for a passing point.

Roster is 17 players

1 QB

3 WR

2 RB

1 TE

2 Flex RB, WR, TE

1 Team Def

1 Kicker

6 Bench

FBG dont have a Cheatsheet for 2 Flex positions so I am looking for advice/suggestions on drafting positions.

I know RB isnt hat deep but with 3 WR and 2 Flex. I was wondering if going RB, RB, WR, RB, WR would leave me weak at WR?

Should I project for 3 RB, 4 WR as starters willing those Flex spots?

I like the idea of waiting on a QB and TE unless I can get Graham mid 2 rd but very unlikely.

Would you put more value on a QB with 6 pts TD or less because of the number of WR and Flex positions?

I think your general strategy is sound. I'd rather be strong at RB than strong at WR. Every year there are good WR's that seem to come out of nowhere and can be found on the waiver wire. Also there are a ton more average-good WR than there are RB's. Each team usually has 1 fantasy RB and can have 2-3 WR's that are fantasy worthy.

If you have some newbies in the league, they may be drafting QB's and WR's early. Since you can play 2 flex positions along with 2 RB's, that's 4 potential RB starting slots each week. I would try to load up on RB's and backfill with some WR's. You can pick up your QB and TE later.

It takes some skill and research to start your draft with WR/WR or TE/WR and still be successful, so I'd just stick to the basics and try to gobble up 2 RB's in the first 3 rounds, and 3 or 4 RB's, and 2 or 3 WR's in the first 5 or 6 rounds.

I wouldnt say they are rookies but I nkow for a fact that 6-7 of the guys couldnt tell you one rookie impact player this year and will be drafting off of Yahoos ranking. But there are 3-4 of us that do the research.

Last year I followed the same strategy but go screwed by Eli and mad a bad trade sending S Ridley for V Davis as I was deep at running back.

I am happy with 10-12 ranked QB and taking TE in same position.

We did your draft lottery and I am picking 6th out of 12.

Use the Draft Dominator, you can set for multiple flex positions.

In addition here's a thread on where you can calculate how to set a manual flex value: http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=100960&p=15791689
