Depth vs. studs

[hlkejak1]

Have been burried in my other threads, because ive choosen depth over studs we all do mistakes, even though my team 1 in sig won last year, first year.

My question is, are there any league format where you will choose depth over studs? or will it be studs no mather what?

Not really a fair question based off you trading ALL your studs for 30 players so its out of context, but lets pretend its not.

Depends on what you mean when you say "Depth".
Trading Cooper for Doctson + Treadwell is bad
Trading Cooper for Landry + Doctson + pick is good (Im low on cooper and higher on landry, but still lol)

The word "Depth" isnt clear for people to go off of so would recommend you give a couple examples and put them in the pull for people to be able to vote on them.

To put it idealistically...
The whole goal of this entire thing is to achieve both. Stud starters with great young depth.
The more competitive the league - meaning the better the worst owner in your league is - the harder it is to do that.

But the answer to your question is always going to be studs. You trade for studs... you mine the waiver wire, draft, and choose add on pieces to bigger deals to acquire depth. Sell high / buy low. Yada yada.

This time of the offseason the goal should be about acquiring the best talent period.

Also probably would be good to not complain/humble brag about the advice you were given in other threads when asking for advice? lol

That being said I was actually thinking about this topic this morning. In my 14 or 16 team leagues would I rather have elite players as starters or a deeper team? I think I would rather have the former because the latter (in most cases) will be good enough to get you to the playoffs but the former can give you a real shot at a championship. It all comes down to injuries though. If you went into last season with elite players in your starting lineup and you stayed healthy then you probably won the ship...if you went in and had elite players and they got hurt then you probably didn't. Long story short, build your teams the way it makes you happiest and hope it works out either way.

English is my 3rd language... It wasnt my intension to complain or brag... It was just to open the discussion... if you look at my team 1 in sig, i have traded away Landry and McCoy in this offseason... but there was no 1. 2. or 3. round pick last year but alot of 5. 6. 7. and 8. round picks... now there is some studs in gordon and ajayi, cousins maybe also... so if you go depht there should come some studs through it... Sorry if it came out wrong

Studs win you championships. Depth gives you a chance at one.

Thats awesome! My bad!

Right...it ultimately comes down to your definition of depth.

[nathanq42]

Imagine this
30 man rosters
12 teams
QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/WR/FLEX

Would you rather have 30 guys with 12 points each
Or 10 guys with 30 points each?

Your overall team scores more points with depth
But you start more points with the studs

Depth is great and all so if you get an injury you dont fall off the face of the earth, but it won't win you a championship

Like I said in the other post. Almost everyone on here will take a stud over depth. Why trade 1,$5 bill and get 3 pennies two nickels two dimes and a quarter. Yea you have acquired more coins but ultimately lost money.

[Goddard]

It depends on the type of depth you're getting for your studs. If you're trading a top 5 player for 5 players who are ranked outside the top 50, then that's not a good deal. But if you trade your top 5 player for 2 top 15 players and /or a pick, then that's getting good value for them.

[Hahaclintondix]

The more players you start, the more depth you need. There are leagues where teams start QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/TE/Flex only. Then it's important to have studs. If you have something like QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/WR/TE/Flex/Flex, then depth becomes more important.

Thanks for input... but as someone mentioned earlier this is the wrong forum for this topic...
