Dynasty League Strategy (1 Viewer)

[-jb-]

I'm in a start-up dynasty league, drafting tomorrow, with the following scoring system:

QB

1point every 25 yards throwing

1 point every 10 yards rushing

RB

2 points every 25 yards rushing

3 points every 25 yards receiving

WR/TE

2 points every 25 yards receiving

3 points every 10 yards rushing

ALL TDs

1-9 yards 6 points

10-40 yards 9 points

41 up 12 points

I'm sitting in the third slot, staring at Shaun Alexander...and his birthday. Given the implications of this particular scoring system, along with the longevity of QBs vs. RBs and WRs, I'm real tempted to draft Peyton and lock down my QB situation for the next 4-6 years. I could then make a run at guys like DeAngelo, Maroney, etc. Since guys like Dillon could be had on the cheap, I could easily grab the "inverted" handcuff for the younger guys. This may not make for an optimum 2006, but I can't see how it wouldn't give me a heck of a foundation for years immediately following.

Can someone tell me if this concept is mad, or does it have some merit?

I would far prefer Carson Palmer. You could get 6-8 years out of him, and he isn't as good as he's going to get.

Manning in the FIRST ROUND????

It makes sense if you have to start 2 QBs, but otherwise, let him fall. I don't care if the passing TDs are 6 points or not, he will fall or someone will overpay for him.

I don't like it, but I hope you do it and let us know how it turns out.

I think you should go for a top QB in a dynasty. Top RB's come and go but franchise QB's are there for the long hall. Look at priest holmes. I think Palmer or Eli are real solid picks in a dynasty. Every year there are a crop of stud RB's that come out. Franchise fantasy QB's come about once every 3 to five years.

Fine, then trade down to pick 8 and get him there. Pick up a 5th round pick for doing it.I understand the argument, but I've tried both methods in dynasty startups: RB in first and no first-round RB. I'm much happier with the results when I've gone RB-first.You can still get Brady in the 4th round... I'd much rather have Portis/Brady than Manning/Deangelo.

In that scoring system, home run hitters are rewarded immensely relative to yardage.

For example, a RB with 120 yards on the day = 8 points.

A RB that runs one ball in from the 27 is worth 10 points. TEN.

Draft Reggie Bush.

Adding a QB from a team that likes to go deep will be $$.

Getting players that are deeper scoring threats (a la Moss or CJ) are FAR better than possession receivers like Rod Smith.

In this scoring system (and take a picture, I don't say this much) Tatum Bell in 2005 >> Mike Anderson in 2005. Bell is likelier to rip off a 40+ yard TD than MA. That's the kind of explosiveness you want / need.

Good luck.

Good point. Some other guys to consider given that:Musa SmithJerrious NorwoodLaurence MaroneyMark ClaytonMaurice DrewGuys who are elusive open-field runners or who have shown a knack for hitting the line with a lot of speed.
