How much should I de-value WRs? (1 Viewer)

[Mr.Sunday]

Mostly standard scoring, 12 teams. Start 2-RB 2-WR 1-FLEX(RB/WR)

If RB scoring is 1pt/10rush yrd and WR scoring is 1pt/15rec yrd.. how much should WR be de-valued during the draft?

VBD calcs drop them way down compared to the RBs.

There's your answer.

In this case: just flow where the value goes? no point in really coming up with a strategy or anything I guess..

It's always important to come up with a strategy, although it's just as important to be prepared to abandon that strategy at a moment's notice if the draft isn't shaping up how you expect. If VBD is telling you that RBs are worth radically more than WRs, though, your strategy should center around acquiring RBs at the expense of WRs.RBs outscore WRs even in standard scoring. Even in a standard 1/2/2/flex league, teams starting 3 RBs and 2 WRs generally have a big advantage. In a league that goes 1/2/2/flex *AND* has RB-heavy scoring, being able to start 3 RBs becomes almost mandatory if you want to compete.
