now i say "early" because i wouldn't really entertain taking luck before 10th.
thats where i'm currently sitting in a 12 team set up.
6pts for td's 25yards 1pt qb. 10yards 1pt for everyone else.
start qb-rb-rb-wr-wr-te-flex k and d.
the idea that people say qb is "deep" makes some sense but when you break down the numbers a little more there is a little advantage to taking a qb early.
say the top 5 rb and top 4 wr go in my draft. i'm faced with taking the 6th or 5th best player and "chase" the rest of the talent already drafted in front of me. those top 9 would be in no particular order. 1.bell 2.charles 3. lacey 4. peterson 5.forte 6. brown 7. julio 8. dez 9. d-thomas. yeah sure i could take odell but i'm not big on sophmores or eli. lynch? yeah hes great if he stays together and jimmy doesnt eat his redzone plus with ppr i rather get a mix use back there.
so i was looking
if i take luck and come back with say miller i'm only "giving up" a difference of 3.5pts. i come to this by looking at what forte (355pts) and miller (223pts) over the course of a season thats 8.25 points. luck (495pts) and the next best tier brees ( 420pts) is a difference of 4.68pts.
further look at the "top" players taken in the first round last year would reveal the bust potential for anyone but qb (rodgers/luck) is huuuuuuuuuuuge notable players that were "busts" last year. mccoy green jimmy calvin marshall bernard.
how many people were burned with these guys last year?
ideally in my situation sitting at 10 i would love to grab the best wr julio if he falls to me only because i think there is a chance i can snag luck on the way back or even rodgers. but if luck is staring at me after the top 9 go i will have a hard time passing him up.
