![]() I would recommend targeting one of the elite TEs who see a true bump in premium formats - making them akin to elite WRs - rather than overpaying later on for someone making minimal impact for your team. Similar to superflex QBs, this will push TEs up the board, and increase the risk that you can be locked out of the position on the high-end.īut unlike QBs, there isn’t as much longevity at TE, and the premium that you pay in the startup cost is likely not equally distributed across the position. This will not be the first time in this piece we reference the QB position.Īnother wrinkle that can add scoring, and be tons of fun, in leagues is additional points for TE receptions (typically 1.5 PPR). While you may give up some raw point value over replacement by selecting Kyler Murray or Justin Herbert, it is made up for in long-term, reliable production at a position with far less scarcity than competitors are used to. You can develop a fantastic roster at the skill positions, but get “locked out” at QB by waiting too long. In superflex or 2QB formats, things can get ugly quickly if you don’t secure quality signal-callers. We are higher on him in 1QB leagues than 2QB because it will be easier to find a replacement if things turn bad. He has a path to top-five QB production in 2021, but could be replaced in 2022. Jalen Hurts is one such example in our rankings. ![]() It also allows you to take some shots at QBs with less reliable long-term outlooks. Simply put: You don’t need to reach for QBs in these leagues. You won’t be able to find good young QBs on waivers, but it is still going to be possible to stream. In single-QB formats, it is much easier to find production at that position - much like in re-draft leagues. Superflex leagues have become increasingly more popular, and they change a lot of the strategy to consider in startups. You don’t want a roster full of players that will need to be replaced in a year, but trading down frequently into value-rich pockets of the draft can yield a roster prepared to win in both the short- and long-term. This is made even more important when the roster and/or starting lineup requirement is deeper. You want as many players as possible to give you a chance at a score. ![]() Trading up makes sense in these conditions.īut in best ball, it is wise to prioritize depth. Elite players are super valuable because they represent weekly starts over (hopefully) a number of years. In managed leagues, you have to set a weekly lineup, and are more likely to churn through the back-end of your roster/use those spots to take swings on upside. It is easy to overlook the differences between these formats in dynasty, where competitors are far more likely to focus on individual players rather than construction, but you should be altering your strategy greatly. Here are some of the more common items to consider, though there are surely others. This goes without saying, but still needs to be said: You need to adapt your drafting strategy to the settings of your league. Here are some important tips to keep in mind as you begin your startup. An excellent draft can set up your team to be successful for a long time, while striking out can take years to recover from. ![]() ![]() Though dynasty is obviously a long-view game, the startup draft is by far the most impactful part. It is the closest we can get to experiencing some modicum of what general-managing is like, and allows us to stay engaged with the game all year round. Dynasty leagues are some of the most fun you can have in fantasy football. ![]()
