"Pay attention" is #1 ^ There is a lot to be said about draft strategy, and you can certainly get your team started on the right foot with a good draft, seasons are won and lost by paying enough attention to play the waver wire well (Whether it's reacting to critical news such as Hunt's suspension as it comes out, or being able to identify an up-and-coming player that you want on your roster before others do) and start/bench the right players. <cite>Reg posted [p:926193371] in The Best B...

azuarc 08/21/19 5:58:27 PM #122:	I kind of like IDPs, personally. I won't fight for them if people want them gone, but it's something that makes this league a little different. I am concerned with the overall depth of talent if we have 16 teams. It was already tight at 14. If you only take two RBs in the first 6 rounds, and then one gets hurt, chances are pretty good your team now sucks. Someone who might not have even been worthy of your flex is now stuck in your line-up. And that's before getting into bye week issues or if you have multiple injuries or whatever. So I'm fine with the idea of reducing from 2RB/3WR/1TE/1flex to 1-2-1-1 as Reg suggested. Reducing bench size, I'm fuzzier on, simply because I've only ever done this league and so I don't know what the dynamics of having anything other than 6 slots is like. If the goal is to increase the variety of options available for pick-ups, though, I'm not necessarily opposed. I always hear people say how seasons are won or lost after the draft, not from the draft, but I've never felt that was the case in our league because there was so little room for maneuvering. 4 slots feels a little scary because of the potential for some awful bye week hell issues, but maybe I just need to adapt. --- VGMC13 champion: Ar Nosurge - Class::EXSPHERE_NOSURGE; <cite>azuarc posted [p:926372015] in The Best B...

Suprak the Stud 08/21/19 6:26:48 PM #128:	I kind of like the 2/2/1 idea myself. We had 3/2/1 last year with 14 and I thought that was fun (like you I like bigger leagues where you really have to find some good hidden players somewhere). With 16 I do agree with Reg that 3/2/1 is probably unreasonable, but I think 1/2/1 might be too far in the other direction. This will be a difficult one to vote on though, so I'd probably first have us vote "should roster size be changed" and if people like that then "which option is best (or rank as many as we have suggested)".

Probably, most platforms do. QBs almost always score more than any other position (typical stat line is 250 yards & 2 TDs is 18 points, and you need 120 yards and a TD to get that for another position), so you're gonna want to start a QB anyways, but it doesn't completely hamstring a team that has their QB on bye on a week when like 10 teams are on bye (which puts their opponent at a huge event just because of luck) <cite>Nanahara715 posted [p:926379838] in The Best B...

A superflex spot instead of a dedicated QB spot is actually intriguing, but god help anybody who ever has to start a non-QB in that spot Yep, but if it was just a QB spot, you're eating a zero and completely fucked! Would actually say it would be reasonable to make the TE into a Receiving flex (TE/Receiver) so you aren't boned if you don't have a top guy, but the top guys still have value. For larger leagues, fewer base skill position requirements & more Flex is better, IMO I have DragonCon next weekend so I would rather draft before then >.> <cite>Nanahara715 posted [p:926399715] in The Best B...

Though I always found the idea of a WR/TE slot in particular a bit silly, but mostly I like the idea of streaming TEs, picking matchups etc as an alternative to spending heavy draft capital on Kelce/Kittle/Ertz Something like (QB or Superflex)/RB/WR/TE/Flex/Flex/K/DST with 4 bench (+IR?) sounds good though. <cite>Reg posted [p:926399996] in The Best B...

Would support another flex spot (6 flex starters x 16 teams is 96 flex, or 3 players per NFL team, which is pretty reasonable) - maybe 6 bench? Wouldn't do an IR under Yahoo's rules.

I would sooner support splitting the league into two, I think. Either would be fine, a player copy system would let you run two equal conferences with cross over and still end playoffs against each other, and with 16-18 players, you could substantially increase the number of starters for each team.

At that point, just stream the dudes- no one's gonna blow bench spots on IDP if we have only 5-6 spots, so just punt the position after drafting and pick a safety or LB for a team playing that week. You're point differential vs your opponent would be minimal.
