My First Dynasty League Startup in Progress (updated after my next pick and through three rounds)

Postby Jaysof » Tue May 22, 2018 6:00 pm

I decided to join my first dynasty league this season and we just finished round three of the startup draft. It is a 96 team promotion/relegation league with eight player copies. It's also superflex with the following lineups:

QB/RB/WR/TE/FLEX/FLEX/FLEX/FLEX/FLEX/SUPERFLEX

Scoring is a bit unorthodox as well:

• PPR (1.5 PPR for TEs)

• 0.5 points per first down for RBs, 1.0 PP1D for WR, 1.5 PP1D for TEs

• QBs get 0.5 points per completion, -0.5 points per incompletion, 1 point per 20 passing yards, 6 points per TD, -4 per interception, 0.2 points per first down

• 1 point for every ten kick and punt return yards

In round one, I chose Aaron Rodgers at pick 1.18 (equivalent of third overall). My logic is that Rodgers has 4-6 years left as the top fantasy quarterback in the league and, given that it is superflex with scoring tilted further towards QBs, I chose who I think is the best quarterback in fantasy football today. It was the first copy of Rodgers, but all copies of Rodgers were off the board by 1.48.

In the second round, I traded up to grab Keenan Allen at 2.59 (equivalent of 19 overall). I think Allen's injuries are mostly fluky and he is possibly the player most boosted by PPR and points per first down. Allen is only 26 and finished as the WR3 in this format last year behind only Brown and Nuk with a stat line of 100/1,400/6.

I traded up again to grab Davante Adams in the second (equivalent of 21 overall). I'm worried about the concussions, but his upside as Rodgers' #1 is too much to ignore for me and he's only 25. I'll have that sweet Rodgers/Adams stack for hopefully the next few years and I'm feeling pretty confident in my wide receiver core at this point.

I traded up slightly again, giving up pick 4.37 and 12.63 for 3.81 and a 2019 2nd rounder to grab my second QB, Andrew Luck. Luck obviously is a risk, but this is a guy who was about even with Rodgers in ADP last year and averages 273 yards and 1.8 TDs/game on his career. The shoulder is worrying, but I think he comes back, and then it's just a question of if he's the same player. It's a risk, but it has the potential to pay off big time. I'm interested to hear your guys' thoughts on this pick. The other QBs off the board at the time were Rodgers, Wilson, Watson, Wentz, Garoppolo, Cam, Stafford, and Goff, 7 Cousins copies, and 4 Mahomes copies, so Luck was in the QB9-11 range off the board overall. Is this good value? The only other guy I was really considering was Cousins, but Luck's upside was too much for me to ignore here.

Other picks I have: 6.18, 6.24, 6.38, 6.45, 7.52, 7.63, 7.73, 9.37, 9.53, 10.02, etc.

My strategy going into the startup was to accumulate mid-round picks since the league's starting requirements are so deep. I have slightly changed my philosophy now and do not want to delve further into my current strategy as I know people in my league look at this forum. I'll update this post and bump it every time I update it with explanations of why I did what I did.
