WCOFF strategy (1 Viewer)

In the WCOFF you recieve points per reception, does that alter any drafting strategies especially with your flex spot? It seems that the flex spot after your 2 rbs and 2 wrs might be better served using a WR who typically will score alittle more than a RB in that spot. Of course you want good depth at RB, but is anyone going to go heavy with WR's after your first RB is taken. What kind of strategies do you think works best in this scoring format?

Just to be clear you start 2 RB + 3 WR + 1 Flex....Yes there is a lot of value in that flex position. I'd say it is a lot easier to play a WR as your flex because there are more available who you can consistently start on a week to week basis. If you have 3 good starting RB though starting a RB at flex makes sense.I think having 4 top WR is an undervalued strategy in WCOFF. Your WR's can really carry you. People over estimate the need for RB depth in WCOFF. While it is important, you can easily do well with 2 decent RB's and 4 great WR's.

I believe the champion last year selected Larry Johnson as his 3rd RB.

There is more than one way to skin a cat. Don't pay attention to what position the players play and pay attention to projected upside.

You see some very interesting strategies at WCOFF. You will see people start with 4 WRs, then go TE and then start taking RBs (which usually suck). Other like Fear the Turtle (4 LCGs) have had success with 3 straight running backs (but then how good can his WRs be?). The 2004 teams that took Manning early did well.

Almost any strategy can work if you draft the right players in the mid to later rounds and your early round guys stay relatively heatlthy and perform as expected. (Much harder to do than it sounds.)

Th only specific advice I would want to offer is to be very flexible about what player and position to draft in the early rounds.

LHUCKS advice about drafting for upside is right for most leagues. The one thing about most WCOFF leagues is that literally EVERYONE is trying to do exactly that, so all of the upside "sleepers" go about 2 full rounds before their ADP. The early round sleepers go 5-10 picks early, so there is no less value on them even if they hit.

Good luck, it is a blast!

WRs are very valuable. I was runner-up in a satellite league last year after drafting Priest Holmes and Ahman Green in the first two rounds. I essentially played most of the year with Warrick Dunn as my RB1 and rotated Marshall Faulk Jonathan Wells, William Henderson and Adrian Peterson as my RB2. However, my WRs were Chad Johnson, Hines Ward, Deion Branch and Chris Chambers.
