I'm playing with VBD spreadsheet. I wonder if Joe and David can elaborate on how they choose the X value for each positions in VBD framework.
I found for this year, for example, X value for TE is chosen at 0.5 x number of teams x number of TE starters, so in 12 teams league, the VBD baseline start at no.7 TE? is this because TE7 to TE12 are all pretty much the same and interchangeable?
in WR, X value is set at 0.9 x number of teams * number of WR starters, but in RB, X value is set at 1.0 x number of teams * number of RB starters, and if every team starts more than 2RBs, then X value = 1.1 * number of teams * number of RB starters. I guess this is because WR is too deep, so this adjustment encourage us to draft more RBs?
any intuition would be helpful, thanks!
