Superflex League

[Shanemansj13]

@SteelersPride with the limited bench, is this league ideal for handcuffs? Obviously some situations are different than others especially at QB. I was just thinking about that…

Have to make decisions. I think in carolina u hve to ask if backup gets heavy work like cmac. You saw last uear they do. So id handcuff him. Especially coming off an injury. Others id not concern myself with

Nah i wouldnt get the potential value in return unless u have someone i need. Hes a stash for me

Good draft everyone. I am open for business if anyone has a WR and may be looking for a RB.

@Shanemansj13 Your rocking Watson ( who likely doesn't play), Hill ( Looks to lose the starter position to Winston) and Ben ( Doubt he makes it through the season without missing games) and that is it? Holy Cow!

that is pretty bad... but this league is slightly different because QBs might not score as much in this one... so you may be able to survive not starting a second QB for some weeks...

I am fine with Big Ben honestly, I think he will be fine and he has a ton of weapons...I took him over Goff and a couple other guys. Watson, that was just a "let me get lucky" pick. I just traded Hill for Teddy so yeah pretty weak but I'm hoping the rest of my roster will make up for it and maybe I will get lucky with Watson? I could possibly make another trade during the season, who knows.

Good job guys... that draft was fun and surprisingly quick....

 

[MilkSpiller22]

that draft took less than 7 days...

i dont think i ever had a slow draft on this board that took shorter than 10 days...

I drafted 2 of my players handcuffs...

really this is a perfect league to draft handcuffs because it is so deep...

But there are less bench spots.

For example: Say you roster 4 RB's. 2 starters and 2 backups. If one RB gets hurt and you handcuff another RB that is healthy then you only have one option, so if both those RB's were to get hurt you are using one spot on your handcuff. I'm probably overthinking things and should have drafted Hubbard especially since CMac was my 1st round pick but he is still just a rookie and unproven.

This is probably why I have such poor QB's...overthinking it.

5 man bench is pretty average sized... but we start more players... most leagues have only one flex, we have 3 not including superflex...

so the player pool on the bench is at a lower level...

so yes, we dont have a huge bench... but our league is deeper than the typical redraft league...

handcuffing has always been a hot topic in the fantasy world... some people live by it, others are against it... so there is nobody saying it is the right move...

But IMO, our league is deep enough that i would rather bench a couple handcuffs than hold on to players who have roles now, but will never have an improved role...

but thats me... my two handcuffs were easy and obvious... so i think i am in a different boat than others...

i will also add, that one of my handcuffs is a WR handcuff who has plenty of value now... I got michael Gallup, entirely because i own Lamb...

my thoughts on handcuff typically lean towards "will this player actually assume a bellcow role if the starter get injured?"
that led me to Jamaal Williams, Tony Pollard, Gus Edwards - I have all 3 pegged as guys that would assume ~70% of the RB workload for their teams if the starters go down in front of them.

I also planned on getting Dillon to cuff Jones but he went in the 10th before it made it back to me. Not sure I'll pull the trigger on a cuff earlier than round 10. Seems like a bad use of an 8th or 9th round pick where you can still draft guys with high-end WR2 possible outcomes.

My son apologizes for taking so long on the clock.

What about Hubbard being the bellcow if CMac goes down? I'm not sure who their other RB's are bc Mike Davis is in ATL now.

Hubbard probably would be... but you are always hoping to never find out... even if you drafted Hubbard...

Interesting to hear people opinions on handcuffing with 5 bench spots. The way I went about it is just give me guys that I can plugin when the matchups looks nice. The more options the better
