Home Vs. Road (1 Viewer)

[guavapure]

The past several years I always seem to end up with squads with a bunch of good but not great players. Playing the matchups is key for me as often I'll have 4-5 decent guys competing for one flex spot. Of course you need to look at the defensive matchups, but was just wondering how much credence you give to the home guy? Do you often let home field advantage be the deciding factor? If so, does it more often than not work out for you?

Also, in a tight race, will you always give the nod to the RB over the WR? I'm in a yardage heavy league with PPR so often times I'm tempted to take a WR2 over an RBBC. Thoughts on this as well? Thanks.

I've been doing fantasy since 2000 but haven't tasted a championship since my rookie year. I think my problem is not enough studs and too many above average guys. Next year I'm going to try to make a point to have no bench depth whatsoever.

Home field in and of itself means very little to me. The surface of the field can be important, however. Usually, speedy teams and kickers prefer turf and indoors, while a power running team may prefer sloppier conditions.

As for WR or RB in a flex, I concern myself more with the players and not the posiiton itself. However, if the players are comparable, I would choose RB if I want to be conservative (lower ceiling, higher floor), or WR if I am looking for big upside but with higher risk (I consider the WR the less consistent play).

The only time I care when a team is away or home, is when I'm deciding which defense to start. I started the Vikings over Denver last week because Minnesota was at home, and it worked out pretty good for me. Obviously if the Broncos home against the Chargers and the Vikings are @ Chicago, I'm going to start the Vikings. However, if the matchups are close, I'm going with the home team.
