No its the opposite. Its like saying I still need a stud WR and i can get more points from a lesser RB than Gio in this format. There will always be RB's that get carriesThats like saying you dont need stud WRs, you just need guys with a lot of targets (Welker, Edelman......).Chris Jonson have outscored alot of guys in this format as well? and extra 140pts from his 279 carries kills DezGio outscored Dez in this format last year. It depends on the starters to find out where the advantage is. If the flex players are high, then WR values take a hit. Considering the .5point/touch, you can find a good WR at 4th overall to help with the pain of dealing Bryant. Evans or even Watkins could fall to 4th in a league like this.ppr / .5 touch bonus (.5 per carry)
Dez for Gio & 1.04
That scoring change means you don't even really need "stud" RB just guys that get the ball alot. Ivory probably outscored a lot of top WR
anyway I will keep Dez
What you NEED are guys who score a ton, and a stud RB who gets a ton of carries is about as untouchable as you can get in that format.
Realistically with good health, Gio will get at least 200 carries a year for the next 6-7 years (likely more on average of course). He probably also has a year or two where he scores about the same as Dez in PPR formats, meaning he will outscore Dez by a LOT in this format.
Oh yeah, then add pick 4. I would put Dez and Gio pretty equal in value, but adding pick 4 makes this a really easy decision, especialy considering it is very possible Watkins makes it to pick 4, and if not, you take a nother RB with upside.
When 1 carry equals five yards TRich is even startable.
What it means is that you won't be flexing WR...I still need to start a couple right?
