TE's become impossible to trade for after the draft and the only way to upgrade at the position is to normally include a TE of your own to fill the gap it would leave on the other guys roster.

You will also see tons of sides fall off a cliff year 2 and 3 with massive holes all over their rosters too, so you really want to be looking long term with your startup more than you normally would. I wish I did this more with the first few leagues I joined, I learned the hard way.

Best advice I can give is to look to trade down and try and acquire as many picks as you can between rounds 3-7, trading up from later rounds a bit too if you can to get into this range. You are going to miss out on a few of the studs, but this is where you want to be trying to shop as much possible.

If you can wrangle 12-13 or so picks between 3-7 by leveraging your 1/2 and 8-10, you can fill out your roster with a lot of young talent.

Those 12-13 picks you want to come out the other end of it with a minimum of 3 QB's and 3 top 12 TE's if you can get them. Also if you are going really young, then just avoid RB's and grab as many WR's as you can. TE's get injured so often that you really do want that starting depth week to week and when you are forced to start two, you start to see huge positional advantages if you are solid at the position and able to field two top 12 TE's every week.

From what I have seen rounds 8-11 is where everyone starts to go nuts trying to find their second TE, so there is going to be a ton of value to snap up between rounds 10-15 after people started reaching for TE's.

QB, 2 SF, 2 RB, 3 WR, 2 TE, 2 RB/WR/TE

We have five teams without TE's so far. Only four out of twelve have 3 QB's. Gotta really wonder what some of them are thinking. But this is what I have so far.

QB - K Murray
SF - Jimmy G

Love it, this is all fantastic thanks so much! We're just starting the 5th, and I have Mixon, rookie 1.02, Andrews, AJB, Wentz so far. Still have all the rest of my picks and picked up an extra 2021 1st and an 11th and 12th in the startup. i'm going to look to start moving up here from 8-10 into the 5th/6th/7th to grab another QB and TE. Thanks again, this was all gold!

Whoa, whoa, whoa... you are telling me that you guys are playing not just SF, but DOUBLE SF and TE premium, and STILL people aren't going for QBs or TEs early?? Your start is completely bonkers in that setting.
