New Dynasty League - Help with my pick!

Postby cjharney » Mon Jul 16, 2012 4:14 am

I have a new 12 team startup dynasty league that will be drafting soon, partial ppr league (.5 per reception) We will have the following starting positions:

OF - utility (superflex)
QB
RB
WR
WR
TE
FLEX (RB, WR, TE)
FLEX (RB, WR, TE)

I have the 7th pick. With the superflex posision - this is essentially a hybrid two quarterback league (qb's still at a premium, but you can survive without two stud qb's). What does everyone feel about taking one of the following quarterbacks 7th overall in this format - Rogers will be gone- (Brees, Brady, Stafford, Cam Newton)? Although I would likely take green or jones here in a one QB league, Im thinking about snagging a QB. I'm in another 2 QB league, and starting quarterbacks in a league like that are almost impossible to find or trade for if you didn't draft them in the first, startup draft. I feel as though I can build my rb's and wr's through subsequent years drafts, but will have a really hard time finding a QB after this year. For the reason, Im leaning towards Stafford or Cam for longevity reasons. What's everyone's thoughts? Is taking Cam or Stafford a reach here?

I see no harm, and actually a lot of good reasons to do so, in drafting Cam or Stafford. Cam might be more valuable if you get less than six points for a passing TD, but if you can get either in that spot I think it's a great move for your team.
Year 8, 14 Team, PPR, all TDs 6 points, 30 man roster limit with 3 IR spots,
QB, 2WR, 2RB, TE, WR/RB/TE, 2DB, 2LB, 2DL, D Flex, 16 Bench

QB: Rosen, Garoppolo
WR: Foster, Crowder, Meyers, Beaseley, Renfrom, H Butler, J Watston, Preston Williams
RB: Mostert, Henderson, Hill, Travyeon Williams, Rodney Anderson
TE: Gronk, Irv Smith, Knox, Hollister, Moreau, Herndon

DB: Poyer, Rapp, Chuck Clark
DL: Nick Bosa, Leonard Williams, Maxx Crosby
LB: Mack Wilson, Devin White, Fred Warner

Picks of Relevance
2020: 1.1, 1.9, 1.10, 1.12, 1.13, 2.3, 2.13
2021: 2 1sts, 2nd, 2 3rds

Nope, not a reach at all...I'm with you on your thinking and it's spot on. In a league like this, QB's are such a premium that you almost have to draft a QB in the first and/or 2nd.

I had pick 1.8 in a recent superflex league and Rodgers, Cam, Stafford were all taken so I took Brees.

I would take Stafford there. You are likely setting your team up for a 1RB approach by doing so, but as long as you are aware of that you can work with it. Probably look to grab a RB or QB in round 2 and then the other in round 3. Then it's 4 straight WR/TEs for you because the top end talent will be gone, but the depth there is good.
Team 1
10 Team, .5 PPR, 2QB, 3RB, 4WR, 2TE, 3DL, 4LB, 4DB,

2QB: Stafford, Carr, Mishew, Bridgewater, Herbert
3RB: Taylor, Ekeler, K. Johnson, Mack, AJ Dillon
4WR: Cooper, Ridley, T. Hill, Slayton, Pittman, Westbrook
2TE: Ertz, Gesicki, Hurst, Everett

I was in a superflex league once and you are right, QB's are hard to come by. I would have no problem taking an elite QB @1.07.
