Mandatory start 2 TE? (1 Viewer)

Seems like the TE pool gets deeper every year. Pass-happy league nowadays with TE's more as pass catchers then blockers.

I may only have 10 owners for my main league. We did start 2 QB last year which was a great succes. Thinking of going 2 TE this year. Little more strategy and entertainment with another starter to follow on Sunday's.

 
I haven't played in a league like this before, but I don't see the problem with it. There are easily 20+ tight ends in the league that put up at least respectable numbers.

 
The auction league I started this year is a start 2QB/2TE/2DEF league, with 2 flex that can either be a RB/WR/TE...made for an interesting draft, thats for sure.

 
All local leagues im in including the two I manage run Mandatory start 2 TE. It makes the TE position much more valuable, I try to value the top 5 TEs at WR 10-15, if you can roster 1 or 2 Elite TEs you will avg 4-8+ more pts per week.

All the competitive owners love it.

 
Both of the leagues I run not only start 2 TEs, but we also have a flex spot which is WR/TE. We also start 4 WRs, so while the flex is normally a WR, sometimes teams will start a 3rd TE there. We give 1 PPR for TE, .5 for WR and .25 for RB.

10 teams?Also does starting 2 QB's with 12 teams become very dicey with bye's and injuries?

Nope, 12 teams. The full lineup is 1 QB, 2RB and a QB/RB flex. 4 WR, 2 TE and a WR/TE flex. A full 4-3 defense (2 DE, 2 DT, 3 LB, 2 CB, 2 Safety). A kicker, a punter, a team kick return unit, and a head coach (points for NFL win and margin of victory). 26 players total. 55 players on the roster, salary cap dynasty league.2 QBs works well if your 2nd QB is a flex rather than a required QB. When it's a required there aren't enough backup QBs to go around so you may have people with an empty roster spot. But since QBs outscore most positions, a flex spot should almost always be a QB for most any roster you'd see.By the way, I LOVE this format over anything else I've ever played. My other league went to the same format except minus punters and we only start 6 IDP total. Only change I'd make is I might cut back 1 WR slot, possibly with a bump in PPR to .75.I love that guys like Gresham and Moeaki are actual contributors. In a 2 TE league they were TE 16 and TE 18, so average to above average TE2.

Hadn't even thought of a flex QB/RB to avoid bye's and injury issues. Sweet.Really want to go with mandatory 2 TE otherwise think the position is a complete bore this year and suspect this will be the new norm.My league is most likely going to only be 10 this year.Was thinking:6pts pass td, -2 for INT's.5ppr WR/TE onlyStart:1 QB1 QB/RB1 RB3 WR2 TE2 FLEX RB/WR/TEAfter inputting this into the cheatsheets, VBD top 50 included:12 QB's, 19RB's, 14 WR's and 5 TE.Four Qb's in top 10.Five Rb's in top 10.A. Johnson only WR in top 10 but rated #6 overall.A. Gates #28 overall.WR's take a hit due to the increased value on QB's but I think that is appropriate. Setup where A. Rodgers or A. Peterson is a fine choice for #1 pick. Seems a lot more natural then having 5-6 rb's definetly go first. Why wouldn't you want a setup where a franchise QB like P. Rivers could be a late first round pick?
 
My main league is 16 teams and makes things like this really quite difficult. Same issue with QB's and DSTs. After starting last year some teams barely have one startable QB.

 
16-teams, mandatory start 2 TE with TE as a flex option. 35-40 tight ends starting every week, baby. Hardcore fantasy football.

 
Have been in a league for ages that start 2. The te field seems deep but in reality there's only a few guys that put up big points and the rest is a mess
