I could see a new type of scoring system come into play in FF where RB's get a .5 per carry to try to even things out.
We already added that last year in one of my leagues.I could see a new type of scoring system come into play in FF where RB's get a .5 per carry to try to even things out.
If yrs past have taught us anything it's that someone WILL emerge from the pack and be a real fantasy asset. ... could be a 3rd, 4th or later Rd drafted guy (RB/WR/TE/QB). The stars will align for the guy, be it due to injury, camp standing, scheme, coach preference, whatever, but it's sure to happen. Now if by some stroke of luck you took him, you'll be happy and pat yourself heavily on the back. Yet for everyone of those there will be higher drafted guys who get stuck on the practice squad or end up number 6 on the depth chart - so you just wasted a pick.RE: WR
If you look at FantasyPros' Tiers, there are a good number of rookies in the top 6 tiers.
You ain't wrong. I guess my POV is more slanted from the perspective of..who the F needs more WR's these days, especially guys who aren't anything special?? and thus.. the class sucked overall, to meFirst part of that sentence "After the top 4-5 WR's, the one TE, and the 3 QB's" is enough for me to grade this class as a strong one (unless your in a standard scoring league).
That's quiet few for one draft at one position.
Yeah agree, some might add Worthy, but mostly because of the Mahomes effect. Still 5 WRs in a draft that can help solidify a team WR corp is above the average draft class IMO.
Yes but it has a large amount of these, more then you usually see in a draft.
Agreed. This really sucks but in a PPR league (or Super Flex) the WRs and QBs make up for it unless your really hurting at RB vs the rest of the league.
I think that might be a little much. Maybe .25 per carry. Of course the problem is that will just make the top 10 guys even more valuable because those are the only guys that are workhorses so if anything it will just make a bigger descrepancy between the top and bottom of the running backs list and not necessarily even out the scoring with wide receivers.I could see a new type of scoring system come into play in FF where RB's get a .5 per carry to try to even things out.

There will probably be serviceable depth WRs on the wire.
%100 accurate.. still though.. you'll find more WR's than you will RB'sHow many serviceable WRs did you pick up in old school dynasty?
That only works in redraft when bench spots are limited
I am probably alone on an island when it comes to scoring (since most owners just want to see more, more, & more).I am very partial to .5 PPR and .5 PFD(point for first down)...
I really think that is the best way to do it...
but I can see more of a need for a bonus for big play TDs....
but you are right, any time you make a stat adjustment for a weaker position it really only creates a larger imbalance to that position...
TE premium is a perfect example of this...
but I do find, at least with TE premium, if you can only use a TE at a flex position whether WR/TE or WR/RB/TE it mitigates that advantage...
so maybe we might be getting to the point where you only HAVE to start 1 RB, and then have multiple flexes where you can start a RB...
would
QB, RB, WR, WR, TE, 3 FLEX become the new norm??
I am probably alone on an island when it comes to scoring (since most owners just want to see more, more, & more).
But if the concept is to be able to balance player value so 1 position is not any more important, then QB is need of the biggest adjustment.
Perhaps eliminate or greatly reduce passing scoring and passing TD points and award points on QBR.
>All QB yards are 40 per pointI could see a new type of scoring system come into play in FF where RB's get a .5 per carry to try to even things out.
but back onto Joe's overall point, rather than rehashing the 'good old days' where we f'ed it all up ..
my rookie critique?
after the top 4-5 WR's, the one TE, and the 3 QB's, this was quite possibly the weakest class in five years or so. I know so many others hold the WR position in high regard in this class..but I honestly don't see it.
3 potential STUDS at WR. And I don't disagree with any of them, they all certainly have the look of being future, weekly, fantasy #1 WR's. Anyone in a normal sized, standard or PPR league who took any one but those 3 first, probably screwed up (myself included in D1). But beyond those 3, there was a group of 2- Brian Thomas, and Lad McConkey, who also appear to have something a little special, and after that..just a bunch of specialists and #2WR types. Don't get me wrong, there's a place in the NFL and on fantasy rosters for #2 WR's, but the overall point being, there's nothing that truly separates this bunch of 10 or so prospects, from the next 15 or so that went later on. I wouldn't lay a significant wager on Worthy, Mitchell, Pearsal, Coleman..etc..being a great asset, any faster than I would make the same wager on Franklin, McAffrey, Thrash or Rice. To me, they may as well all have an equal chance of success.
RB's were just absolute trash, exacerbated by horrid landing spots, there were a grand total of 2 RB's that had the look of an actual NFL RB- J. Brooks, and M. Lloyd. everyone else, has role player written all over them at best. There are a couple, like Benson, Corum and Wright, who might be decent contributors if given the right circumstances, or perhaps they still have some 'blossoming" to be done, but the rest, they sure do seem to be waiver fodder and not long for the league.
in short..if you didn't want/need a QB..after the top 8 picks of this draft, it really didn't matter who was picked next, in terms of 'reaching' or 'over value-ing' An argument could easily be made to take any of them, at any point, and based on your roster's needs, you most likely made the right choice, even if it doesn't end up working out in your favor. There just was no big reason to go any one particular direction over another after those top 8 or so. I can find no good reason to fault any pick, at any position, after that point

This coming year? None so far!How many serviceable WRs did you pick up in old school dynasty?

Well loaded IF you needed a WR, QB, or TE, AND were picking in the top half.. disappointing otherwiseI actually kind of agree with the bolded bit, but it does sound a bit funny. There's 3 elite WRs, 2 others that are at least pretty solid looking (though Id put Worthy in this category over McConkey), an all time TE prospect, and 3 very good QBs - that's a kind of loaded draft right there!
But I agree, after that point it starts to fall off quickly, especially if you're drafting for a 1QB league.
