First Dynasty Bestball start up

[PTW32]

12 Team SF, PPR, 1.75 TE, .15 PPC, Start 11

I've never been in a dynasty bestball so I went in with a strategy other to get difference makers at QB and TE and rely on depth at WR and RB.

Here's how it turned out.

QB: Hurts, Tua, Stroud, Mac Jones, Dobbs
RB: James Cook, Penny, McKinnon, Hull, Jeff Wilson, Cordarrelle, McIntosh, Edmonds, Gaskin
WR: Aiyuk, Jeudy, Kirk, Lockett, Mingo, Alec Pierce, Dell, Trey Palmer, Charlie Jones, McKenzie, Skowronek
TE: Andrews, McBride, Bellinger, Gesicki, Trautman

3 extra 24 1sts, 2 extra 24 2nds

Where do I go from here? Trades, Roster Construction? Any advice for bestball vets?

It's always tough to breakdown bestball because players blow up every week out of nowhere. That being said, I think your RBs will be a serious issue and hold back any real shot at contending. WR is also a bit ify but you should get decent production.

Hurts and your future 1sts are the best pieces to build around and hopefully Stroud hits and Tia stays healthy. I think your build needs a few trades, picks and time. Maybe a backend playoff team in year 1? I don't mean to be harsh, but I think you need to start shopping already. Hold your picks!

I hope your team comes together better than expected! Good luck.

Not harsh at all.

Who would you look to trade and for what kind of return?

I took Mac Jones and Dobbs thinking maybe I could trade them for something. Maybe McKinnon or Lockett if they have a spike week or two?

I don't have a ton of interest being a backend playoff team but I'm also not sure how to "Tank" in best ball.

It's always tough right after a startup but I would shop your RBs and WRs to see what options are out there and where the leagues values are currently. No reason to force anything, but it never hurts to shop to see options.

Ya this isn’t a contender (which I think you probably know going so light on rbs and acquiring futures), so I’d shop any rbs you can to gut it and try and lock in 1st pick.
I like the overall roster value, think you did pretty well, I’d look to shop lockett as well for sure and if someone is willing to pay up for andrews I’d move him as well (happy to hang on as well if needed though).

My goal would be to try and get 1st pick here unless someone else full tanked. That pick will be a 1st round startup so if you aren’t winning you should be trying to get it. Other than that, acquire as much value as you can to flip and compete next year.

I was the only team to trade for any additional 1sts.

There are some other teams that went heavy on young players or could struggle because they drafted poorly for bestball (Only rostering 2QBs or 2TE) but no one seems to be intentionally tanking.
