How to assign VBD baselines with "superflex" lineups? (1 Viewer)

[RCon]

Our league has three allowed lineups. All three use one QB, one Kicker, and one Defense, but the RB, WR, and TE lineups vary. The three lineups allowed are:

Wishbone - Three RBs, Two TEs, no WR

Pro Set - Two RBs, Two WRs, One TE

Red Gun - One RB, Four WRs, no TE

What's the best way to assign VBD baselines in such a league? I figure assuming 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE as starters is close, but probably not quite accurate. The only other thing I can think of is going back through historical data and see how many teams ran each lineup, and base my VBD on that. For instance, if four teams last year used the Red Gun and one used the Wishbone, that means a total of 21 RB starters on 12 teams. Divide 21 by 12, and I could use 1.75 as my "worst starter" baseline? Of course, one wrench in that idea is that the team that won last year used the Red Gun offense, which could encourage more teams to try it this year, skewing my values. Anyone have this issue?

I would use a "Worst possible starter" meaning in a 12 team league your baseline is QB12, PK12, DEF12, TE24, RB36,and WR48

Isn't it possible to set DD with the minimum at each position as starter, then add in flex positions? Then DD will set the baseline for you based on your scoring and starting requirements. I realize you only have 3 set possible lineups so it's not an exact representation but should work.

Starters:

1QB, 1RB, 2WR, 0TE, 2Flex RB/WR/TE, 1K, 1Def.
