Heavy IDP Scoring (1 Viewer)

[CB31]

I posted on something similar to this in the Assistant Coach forum, but I want to talk about it here as well. I'm in a 16-team, 40-man roster 1st-year dynasty league with VERY heavy IDP scoring -- 4 points per sack, 2 points per solo, 1 point per assisted, etc.; the exact scoring is here and how players like Patrick Williis compare to offensive studs like MJD are here. An example of the heavy scoring can be seen where Jon Beason, 298 pts., outscored Drew Brees, 285 pts.

Will all this being said, how would you alter your draft strategy? Does Willis sneak into the middle of the first, Beason in the early 2nd, etc.? Any help is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I screwed up with the Brees example. But Beason (298 pts. still) still outscored Randy Moss, Larry Fitzgerald, and Reggie Wayne (293, 289, and 286 respectively).

I play in a couple leagues with similar scoring including a startup that drafted this offseason. The league scoring is here DL scores 3 points per tackle 1 per assist and 8 per sack. LB and DB scores 2 points per tackle, 1 per assist and 6 per sack. It altered my draft strategy alot. I went into the draft with the plan of taking Willis in the first and Beason in the second from the #10 spot unless Brees, AD, CJ or MJD were available for some strange reason. Brees fell to me and I took him and followed with Willis and Beason in the 2nd. Of course my RB and WR positions took a hit because of it, but I have a starting LB corp of Willis, Beason and Ray Lewis. in this league 2 CB is also required so I took Winfield and Marshall alot earlier than I would normally take DBs because of there consistency with tackles. I did not get the D-line I was hoping for, but DL is a lot harder to get consistent production from year after year.Here is a link to the draft if you are interested. The rookie draft was held seperate from the veteran draft.

You need to find a nice middle ground. The top guys, I would start to look at around round 3 or 4 for the scoring rules in the first post here - but I would also not ignore my offense as much as the guy above, either.

Take the top 10-16 at each position depending on the league size. Where there is the biggest drop from 1-10/12 etc. is the more valuable players in the first 2 rounds.

Beason outscored Brees, but all that tells you is that LBs score well.Take a look at how much he scores in comparison to other LBs, and based on your projections, how much you expect him to outscore other LBs.

I kinda did what you said, but instead I took last year's scoring and compared it. The 64th LB (AKA what would be the worst starting LB), Aaron Curry, scored 139 points. The 80th WR (the worst starting WR if everyone used every available flex + every WR spot for a WR), Bryant Johnson, scored 99 points, and the 48th best RB, Mike Bell, scored 96 points. I haven't had time to divvy up tiers for each position yet, though.
