Drafting Pairs or Same Team
Drafting Pairs or Same Team
In one of my Superflex leagues, I accumulated a few picks over the last two years in this 2017 draft but I have somewhat of a conundrum.........are you okay with drafting pairs or loading up on one particular team?
For example:
I already have Will Fuller, but I'm confident that Watson (I need a QB) and Foreman (who is my RB crush) would be available for me to select. Not saying I'm deadset on Watson but if he's there I'd consider.
I already have Rivers and Hunter Henry, should I draft Mike Williams?
Drafting Mixon and subsequently John Ross (who I could see falling in our draft)
Drafting McCaffrey and Samuel
Drafting Njoku and Kizer
How do you all feel about this? Are you going to pass over Best Player Avail if it happens to work out this way?

Re: Drafting Pairs or Same Team
Draft BPA. Most offenses should be able to sustain multiple options. I won't seek to pair up guys but if the board falls a certain way and they are the best guys left, sure.
Re: Drafting Pairs or Same Team
This. But contingent on the multiple players. Bear in mind that if that offense has a bad day you could screw yourself out of a potential win. So with that said, I wouldn't get too many Houston players. Borderline on Cincy because of their offensive line. I'd love to have multiple Chargers. Borderline on Carolina. Kizer and Njoku would be fine with me since they'll be playing from behind a lot. Bottom line-BPA is always best.onetwothree wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2017 6:42 am Draft BPA.

Re: Drafting Pairs or Same Team
I'll stay BPA, but if have players on same level will fill team need- avoiding same team avoids bad weeks and bye week issues

Re: Drafting Pairs or Same Team
there are a few threads on "the stack" it works and i'll leave it at that. if a guy were to draft watson (long term), own nuk, and fuller (whatever wr's)...he will make the playoffs/contend by default...but you need to go get nuk before drafting watson. the rbs are independant.....if i were to take a rb, it would have no bearing of team make up. peyton often times had some great fantasy rb's.
pm me if you want to talk stack strategy.

Re: Drafting Pairs or Same Team
I'd need to see a study on the idea of a "stack" somehow providing a better overall strategy to the game than some anecdotal notations.
It's not that it can't work... But is it an advisable strategy?

If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.
Re: Drafting Pairs or Same Team
It doesn't bother me stacking or having multiple players from the same team. I just get players I like or that I think are good and the rest sorts itself out.

Re: Drafting Pairs or Same Team
think its fine to have players of same team. Still have time to make moves before season and teams that have an elite offense will have multiple playable starters.

Re: Drafting Pairs or Same Team
I don't worry about it, I just draft BPA. Given how horrible the situation appears to be, here's the best example I could give; The Jets offense is terrible yet I still drafted Ardarius Stewart because I felt he was BPA , even though I already had Enunwa/Robby Anderson/Forte on my roster.

Re: Drafting Pairs or Same Team
How about a Keenan/Mike Will combo..Tyrell lovers will preach he's the wr1 there, but having mike will as keenan ins (if you believe in keenan) in addition to their stand alone productions isn't bad

Re: Drafting Pairs or Same Team
I have no scientific data to support this, but the only stacks I actively target are QB/WR or QB/TE stacks (maybe QB/pass-catching RB would be okay also). My reasoning is that QB passing TD/RB rushing TDs negate each other in that while a truly great offense could support both, the two types of TDs cannibalize the total production from the stack. On the other hand, a Rodgers/Jordy stack or a Brady/Gronk stack nets you double points for any TDs scored by those two players and can therefore put you up in a big way any given week.

Re: Drafting Pairs or Same Team
im not a charts type of guy, but i'll try to throw something together when i have the time. who would you like to see. stafford, tate, jones/riddick? smith, kelce, maclin/hill? give me a qb and his top 2 targets and i'll do the work of camparing that stack to some "stud options" and see how that would compare on a weekly basis. rivers, williams, te? bortles, arob, lee?
the stack is common in dfs, and essentially we do play dfs every sunday. if you look in to that concept....you'll find how this "works" if you will. will this work with the worse offense's???? i dont know foresure....but i would be willing to stack any if they are competent.
its not advised in non ppr with the wr's... you simply leave the ppr out....and you can see how this would make a difference. it does make the ppr backs golden though if you were to stack them with the qb. your normal 6 pts for the rb turns into another 4-6 for the qb. the 8 pt play turns into a 15 pt play in a hurry.
