Save My Startup!

Postby Aldonall » Mon Feb 17, 2020 5:54 pm

Hey all. Been doing a slow-draft offseason startup with some slightly unique rules. 12 team, SF, TE Premium, but with 6 point passing TDs and 0.25PPC. 1QB 1SF 2RB 2WR 1TE 5FLEX

Foolishly, I overvalued QBs relative to my leaguemates, and as a result made trades and picks attempting to bait a QB run that never really happened.

My draft so far:

1.12: Watson
2.06: Kittle
2.09: Evans
4.01: Wentz
5.12: Jimmy G
6.05: Deebo Samuel
6.07: Matt Ryan

I have 3 picks in the next 12 to save myself, and will be picking 12 & 13 in the rookie draft, but need to compete now as I've traded away my entire 2021 draft class.

Some options available are:

QB: I want to but cannot
RB: Lindsay Montgomery Hunt Conner Ingram
WR: Boyd Kirk McLaurin Parker Hilton Landry
TE: Ertz Engram Henry Fant Hooper

Help me friends, I beg you
10 Team League: 2 QB 2 RB 3 WR 2 Flex, 0.5 PPR:

QB: Mahomes, Allen, Minshew
RB: Barkley, Kamara, Akers, Jones
WR: AJB, Chase, Evans, Cooks Juju, Mooney, Davis, Rondale, Marshall Jr.
TE: Pitts, Engram

Personally I'd go Conner. If you really hate him, then I'd go Ertz with it being TE premium.

I would go 2 running backs ranked:

Montgomery
Conner
Lindsay
Ingram
Hunt

Then a tight end, ranked:

Hooper
Henry
Ertz
Engram
Fant

Having 4 good QBs in Superflex is never a bad thing. They’ll be great for trade value

RBs and a TE would be my next three picks.

I'd go Montgomery, Lindsay, Henry. Someone will want one of those QBs eventually and you'll have some good trading power.

I'd be insane to take Cousins here right?

I’d only take him if you plan to trade him for a WR later. QBs with starting jobs hold value. Plus I’d keep a eye on guys like Henry and Engram with the premium and all those flex spots.

A RB run hit right before me, so I ended up with Ertz, Lindsay, and McLaurin. Now I just need to find an RB2 with either 9.8, 11.12, or 12.01...

Thanks for the advice all!

Don't take another QB, 4 is enough. But with that many starting spots I'd go best player available with RB and WR. I'm a big Boyd fan so I'd probably take him and then work your way down the RB list. In start ups you should be concerned with acquiring talent, not filling out your starting lineup. If it's looking like you cant compete during the season, maybe look to move a QB for your 2021 picks back.

This league is already doomed. It's a 12 team SF and TE premium and everyone is ignoring QB's and TE's.... not a good sign.

With 5 flex spots, I would have loaded up on TE's. Engram, Henry, Hooper, Fant.... all of these guys should be gone by now.
