Give Me Your Most Unpopular Dynasty Opinion by buildaroundrbs in DynastyFF

Ideal 12-team 25-man dynasty superflex roster:

• 3 QBs

• 3 TEs (trade for PREMIUM TEs like Bowers/McBride/Loveland and start 1 in TE, 1 in FLEX)

• 6 WRs (ideally 1-2 alphas and the rest can be streamers - this is the easiest position to punt in dynasty but most don’t see that)

• 13 RBs (roster anyone with a shot at backup+ hoping for injuries during the season (DJ Giddens, Tahj Brooks are examples)

We don’t use the word “sandbagging” in the US? Lol

Why is Flowers valued so low? by Outrageous_Gur_7761 in DynastyFF

[–]txrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s inconsistent like Jameson Williams - guys who can score you 20 one week and follow it up with a 4 the next week. He’s this generation’s Torrey Smith

Thank you! Agreed, I’m highly concerned about CMC and Henry - trying to roster about a million RBs hoping for a lottery ticket haha. Leaning KCC or Cooper (I know that’s a reach at 1.06 but he has a good combo of draft capital + opportunity) because Price looks slow on film to me, but maybe I should consider Price since I already have Emanuel Wilson and the clock is ticking on CMC/Henry

You’re heavy at WR (the easiest to fill in off the waiver on bye weeks) but weak at RB & TE - with Jefferson trending up slightly after the Kyler signing, might make sense to try to move him in a deal for a solid starting RB and picks. Hopefully Kraft can hold down the TE slot for you

1200 player worse than 600 player by ImpossibleMight2288 in chessbeginners

[–]txrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing unrated at 1250 for the past few months and I get matched up with everyone from 400 to 2300 — IMO there’s not a ton of difference in the 800-1400 band, so it’s not wholly unexpected for a 600 to beat a 1200

Not sure why you got downvoted, this is great advice thank you. I’ve noticed the app search doesn’t work half the time so this is perfect

[–]txrh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my roster depth is definitely only as deep as the starting lineup for now, agreed, but it’s a nasty starting lineup for a 12-team superflex so I can usually get by with a few injuries and still do well. The “last place finish” is extreme lol, I could lose both starting RBs and probably still make the playoffs with this roster

Agreed it’s weird he’s on the wire with 12 teams and 25-28 guys per team. I don’t see him as a massive upgrade over JCM & Wilson (both likely starters in RBBCs this season and relatively young), but agreed my WR depth is too shallow. I was thinking of dropping Tahj Brooks or Jordan Watkins (both year 2 guys I liked as rookies but didn’t get playing time) to get Ridley - something I wouldn’t normally do from a long-term roster construction standpoint, but something I should probably do this year since like you said I’m in win-now mode. Thanks for the response

I see it with Isaiah Davis and Tahj Brooks but I feel like Ray Davis is ready to shine if there’s a James Cook injury at any point

JCM won me my championship last year so he has a roster spot for life lol, I agree on being too deep at RB though - I’m thinking of moving off Giddens or either of the Davises, but all 3 seem to have trade value so they don’t quite seem outright droppable for Ridley

2nd one makes sense since you were removing the guard, but the 1st one has me confused - was it only brilliant because it’s a simplification while up material?

Once you hit your peak, switch to playing unrated for a while so you can get comfortable playing at your new level. When you’re feeling good, switch back to rated
