I'm not sure that's totally true. Let me preface by saying that this thread alone shows overwhelmingly the increase in popularity from last year. I did 9 of these year and was reading a lot of RotoViz (not this year though) and loved the idea of "zero RB." I won two out of 9. One where I didn't take my first RB until round 8 (Sproles). I also had two kickers so that's the same breakdown for this year of 20 players. Gronk in the second and Sanders in the 6th won it for me. My other RBs were DMC, Fred Jackson, Chritine Micheal, Andre Williams and dexter mccluster. Think about that for a minute. Gronk and sanders were huge along with Hopkins, and the eagles D. My first pick was Calvin, my third was p. manning and my fourth was Jordan Cameron. It's kinda remarkable. I don't discount all the awesome analysis many of you are putting the time in to use and share but just to point out that all it took was really hitting on two huge value players where they were drafted can make all the difference.In all honesty I went RB heavy in a few and they were my worst teams. The other one I won was because I got some guy named CJ Anderson in round 14 to go with Antonio and Forte. I also drafted 4 QBs in that one--Shaub and Fitzpatruck (by accident and only rostered one defense). On paper, the two "worst drafted" teams of mine were the two that won! I guess my point is, it's still ALOT OF LUCK!They reduced the number of draft slots from 22 down to 20 so there isn't enough roster space for zero RB this year either.Got it. Agree the sample size is small. The results will also be skewed because they had kickers last year. Now that kickers are removed, you can slot extra backup running backs. The zero RB strategy would not have been possible last year as there was not enough roster space in a draft and forget it.
Who did you end up getting in round one?A guy just timed out on pick 1.03
What's this?Foster seems to be dropping like a stone so our hopes of derelict owners getting stuck with him are dashed. At least in the management leagues which is my ficus now.
By the way guys, if you have the time, I'd highly recommend doing some MFL weekly management leagues. With the experience you have doing a ton of best balls, you might be shocked at some of the teams you might draft.

Because he is suspended, and if a team wants him to make it through the season they really don't need to sign him until about week 6.Also, why is A. Bradshaw not on a team yet?
The guy got Antonio Brown :(Who did you end up getting in round one?A guy just timed out on pick 1.03

Maybe your original gut feeling is the best.Every time I come back to this thread I find myself entering another mfl10. It's a problem.
I took a look at my leagues from last year and noticed my teams from earlier in the off season did generally much better than my teams drafted closer to the season. None of my August leagues placed. I haven't figured out why and it's somewhat worrisome.
Both important information and a well-constructed, logical sentence.Was going to avoid these entirely this year just had no time to prep for redraft format when my focus is dynasty and daily but just remembered I had a free entry into one so doing one avoiding any temptation to do more.
I believe they also just updated the default draft list to be much closer to real adp. So there's that.Finally get back to these. Feels like the ADP has really tightened up and I'm settling in almost every round.
More specifically, it's the myFBG page. It is incredibly helpful for dynasty rookie drafts because you can see all the free agents - where the rookies are compared to existing players. Having those free agents mixed together saves a lot of time and you can sort for dynasty value or for redraft value if you need somebody to help your team now.Comes with your subscription package. You upload all your legues and you get rankings plus a real handy breakdown of all the free agents available in each league so you don't have to spend hours combing through it.
It doesn't really bother your daily life. You can pre-draft whenever you want and you have an 8 hour timer once you're OTC. Plus, if you import a pre-draft list it's that much easier.I like doing 5 MFL10s per year. You win 1, you double your money.
Can't imagine people doing dozens of these. Just doing 5 I feel like I'm constantly monitoring email. Kind of messes with your daily life.
Amazingly, out of the 10 MFL10s I've done last year and this year, I've never had a draft position higher than 8.
I have him in 2 of out the 3 I started this week but I was taking him because I don't think I have much stock in him.mrip541 said:I own all of the Kelvin Benjamin. ALL OF IT. brb jumping out the window.

Same here. I've been lucky with injuries so far... 3% Foster and 0% McCoy.BroadwayG said:3% Benjamin
Yeah, I tend to just check in in the morning, after lunch, and right before bed. I predraft if I have anything coming up within 8-10 picks. One thing that definitely suffered for me with playing volume is that I have been a bit less attentive to the composition of other teams, so I'm not as aware, for example, of who might go at the turn between my picks if I have something like 1.03 or 1.08. It takes more work to do that sort of thing, and when I have 4-5 drafts going at a time I tend to make predrafting decisions a bit more quickly.It doesn't really bother your daily life.
