Drew the 5th spot this year in my favorite in person long time league.
12 teams
QB/RB/WR/TE/Flex/Flex/Flex/K/D
5 bench.
Shorter bench. QB and TE elevated in Draft Dominator but that’s because shallow lineups not because scoring.
Early leaning assuming CMC/Lamb off the board.
Chase
Bijan
Tyreek
In that order.
Yeah...Dominator is broken. QB should fall even further with only 5 bench spots.
They do in the mock I do but the initial rankings they are very high but in our league Allen will go in R1.
If that's the case, I taking one of Chase/JJ/Hill and grabbing Barkely/Gibbs/ETN/Henry of the way back.
ETN/Henry will be there for sure. Henry ranking 29th in Draft Dominator. 24th ADP.
The smart move may be to go WR/WR and then see which Rb falls to the 3rd. If you use Bob Henry projections only Henry will move up. Pacheco is projected about the same and can easily be had in the 3rd.
Overall I find RBs easier to replace in short bench leagues. All it takes is one injury and often you have a startable replacement on the wire. The WRs have been much thinner IMO.
Really don't think that matters in this league. With the 1/1/1 starting lineup and 2 flex plus short benches leaving talent on the wire I don't think there's any positional scarcity. You can chunk those RBs and WRs into the same pool and just draft the guy who you think will score the most until the 2 flexes are filled.
