Roster Construction Advice

Postby bot » Sun Aug 13, 2017 5:19 am

For the team in sig which is a fairly balanced scoring system (Top IDP players get around 250 points on average) I am trying to figure out how many players to carry. I always wanted to have at minimum 6 DL, 6 LB, 5 DB and right now am at 7/6/4 as you can see. I currently have a bid in for Byard on WW as he has looked good so far. Other notable FAs are Hodges, Spence, Marquel Lee, Eligwe. I guess I am wondering if I am best served getting another DB or saying screw it, running 4 DB, and adding one of those LBs??

Thanks

I would add Marquel Lee at this stage, he has the best chance of rapidly becoming a value. Go with 4DBs and stream your way through bye weeks and injuries. Byard isn't worth a speculative hold in a league with 45 roster spots, imo.

I agree with Oslo. Lee & Hodges, maybe, but no need for Spence or Byard. Keep only 4 DBs and stream safeties and the occasional corner (I LOVE Quincy Wilson this year)

I reserve stashes on my roster (deeper than 2x the start requirements) for the most valuable position groups. Unless your league values DL in a very unique way, I would only roster 2x the start requirements with all of them being NFL starters - no stashes. Tuitt/Rivers are not worth a roster spot (for you) imo.
Just a guy who loves fantasy football - specifically defense.

Depends on your specific scoring system. If your system is like most leagues then LB will be your most valuable position and generally MLB/ILB will be the most valuable among that group. Marquel Lee is the best bet among the guys you listed. Dump Rivers to grab him now.

DL players are pretty much a crapshoot once you get past the handful of stud players. Vernon, Dunlap, Hunter, and Wilkerson are the best holds from your list according to my own league's scoring system. Generally don't roster DTs other than Aaron Donald unless you have a league requirement to roster/start some number of DTs.

If you don't have to start CBs, there are almost none worth rostering IMO. CBs are too much at the mercy of the circumstances beyond their control and most are not used heavily in run support to give them decent tackle totals (Logan Ryan is a notable exception). I typically only roster starting SS for my DBs, and I will grab as many of those as I can get.

Looking at your planned total of 17 IDP players, I would probably roster 5DL/7LB/5DB. Good luck!
