Ideal way to set up a 16 teamer? (1 Viewer)

[TheGreatInTraining]

Trying to figure out the best starting lineup setup, to a league that has incresed to 16 teams this year. Pretty much standard scoring system, but with 1PPR and 6 points for QB passing TD's. I'm torn between two setups, I'd love to hear your opinions. Here goes.

Setup 1: 1QB, 1RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K, 1DEF, 1FLEX(RB,WR,TE)---5 reserve spots

Setup 2: 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K, 1DEF, 1SUPERFLEX(RB,WR,TE,QB)---6reserve spots

I'm leaning towards setup 2, but my concern is that with 16 teams the talent pool will get real thin real fast. Thoughts?

Setup 1: 1QB, 1RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K, 1DEF, 1FLEX(RB,WR,TE)---8+ reserve spots

The bigger roster the better.

 

[Pickle Rody]

Setup 2: 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K, 1DEF, 1SUPERFLEX(RB,WR,TE,QB)---9-11 reserve spots

The more the merrier!ETA: As far as talent pool goes, there will be enough to draft 20 rounds. You'll be making less waiver moves throughout the year than normal, but possibly have more trades. There will always be some players that are scooped up off the waiver wire that weren't drafted.

I'm not so sure. I'm thinking the minimum, start 8. QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, K, DEF. That's it. That's how mine is anyway. Rosters of 16. At 16 teams thats plenty of spots to fill with any level of decency.

 

[renesauz]

I like the bigger lineups, bigger rosters. It really stresses your depth and your ability to draft well.

QB/2RB/3WR/flex/K/DEF, 8 bench.

Believe it or not, there will still be some talent on the weekly waiver wire.

For a 16-Teamer, I like a composite of the two options outlined in the Original Post, with some tweaks...

This is how we do it in my 16-Team Dynasty that's going into Year 8 - we didn't start out this way, but through testing and tweaking, here's where we're at, and it's a Starting Lineup Configuration that everyone is quite pleased with:

1QB, 1RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1PK, 1D/ST

Two SuperFlex (QB, RB, WR, TE) - with the following stipulation: You CANNOT start more than 2QB or TE...

...this allows for a variety of Starting Lineup Options, and allows each Team to tailor it's Roster to a specific strategy. With a 16-Teamer, having more than one mandatory QB, RB or TE for EVERY Team can create a slew of issues - this allows each Team to build a unique Roster, issue free. Not only that, it goes a long way to promoting Trades, which we all want to see plenty of...and boy, do we.

Additional Rules:

1 Pt / 50 Yds Passing , 1 Pt / 20 Yds Rushing/Receiving

4 Pts / TDPass , -1 INT , 6 Pts Rush/Rec TD

PPR: RB/WR 1 PPR starting at catch #6 , TE 1 PPR starting at catch #3

You MUST begin the Season with 20 Players under Contract, after the Season begins, 'unbalanced' (2 for 1, 3 for 2, etc.) Trades can increase/decrease that #.

50 Year Contract Cap

2 Player 'Practice Squad' which does not count towards your Roster until you 'sign' Players off the PS and assign them a Contract. These players MUST be Rookies taken during our 'Supplemental' Rookie/Free Agent Draft (5 Rounds), conducted in early August, after the conclusion of Restricted Free Agency.

Just how our League does things. Use it for what you will, but it works for us...

Good Luck!

My 16 teamer PPR we go:

1 QB, 1 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 FLEX (RB/WR), K, D

Thoughts?

I can tell you with 100% conviction you want to go with Setup 1. I was in a 16-team league that started 2 RBs and it's just puts way too much emphasis on RBs. I get you were trying to mitigate that in Setup 2 with the Superflex, but my guess is you are essentially making it a start 2 QB league and now the top QBs will be way overvalued.Your Setup 1 is what you want. Trust me.

I'd counter by saying in almost every FF league QB's are way under valued and RB's are way overvalued. Setup 2 actually makes QB play and value as important as it should be.

 

[Lash]

ours is a 14 teamer but here is what we used

1QB, 1RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1K, 1DST, 1Superflex(any), 1 Flex(rb/wr/te)

 

[fake_15]

We only draft 14 rounds, 9 starters and 5 on bench.

1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K, 1DST, 1FLEX Any Position. This keeps more viable players out on waivers.

 

[Alias]

do not have a QB as a flex, they fly off the board fast enough as it is (in my league where TD's are 6 points).

I'd suggest the standard:

QB RB RB WR WR WR TE PK but just incorporate .5/1/1.5 PPR for RB/WR/TE respectively

Right, but depending on scoring system, with superflex you pretty much want to start a QB. So now there are 16 teams wanting to start 2 QBs each week, which means just about every starting NFL QB will be playing each week. Where it really gets unfair is during bye weeks, a team with one of their QBs on bye is at a huge disadvantage over someone staring a couple average QBs.I guarantee if you ran the VBD on this format, 16 of the top 20 players would be QBs. (If not more.)

I am in two 16 team leagues, league 1 is start 8 (1 qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, 1 te, 1 d, and 1 k). My other league is a keeper league with a starting lineup of 10 players (1 qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, 1 te, 1 d, 1 k, and 2 supersuperflex (qb, rb, wr, te, d, k). Personally I am not a fan of league 2 but this is a league I have been in for 18 years and it is all my best friends. Personally wiht the large amount of teams, my stance is less is more when it comes to the starting lineup.
