Hunter2_1 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) PPR Have you ever played in a league with this many teams? I haven't, so I'm asking for some advice please I'm also a bit of a fantasy rookie, so apologies in advance for stupid questions. The temptation will be to think the team drafted will be poor, but with 20 selections per round, it will be hard to get sufficient talent throughout. What are some strategies I can use? I'm thinking hammer WR and RB early (want Hopkins if I can), but I can't wait too long for other positions due to the lack of depth Thanks Edited August 24, 2019 by Hunter2_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I think there are slightly over 20 QBs worth drafting, dont get caught taking one early. Its just not worth it. TE is a little tricky because there arent as many good ones worth drafting. Getting DST/K last 2 picks is a must and obvious but figured I’d mention it Getting value is always important in fantasy but even moreso in such a large league so reaching could really hurt your chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah number 1 plan is to NOT reach. Do I go for RBs and WRs in the first 3 or 4 rounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFF Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 What’s the starting lineup and what kind of scoring....standard, half ppr or full ppr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a qb but I wouldn’t say no to Kelce or Ertz/Kittle for the right cost 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know, I'm not sure. I thought it was standard but then the NFL has put a notice up saying PPR is now standard; it says this - FL Fantasy standard scoring has been updated to PPR (Point-Per-Reception). All NFL-Managed leagues are now PPR. Custom league commissioners can change scoring settings under the Manage tab. So....eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 i think in a 20 teamer ... need to go RB early, likely QB late (but kinda monitor how much have been taken - be happy with a Goff/Rivers/Allan type as your starter.. there is a lot more depth at WR that you can get in your 6-8th round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with this. The fact there are so many teams is why you should reach early. In my 16 team league, if you don't get a QB by round 5, you are left picking between garbage and more garbage. The odds are you will be more likely to find a RB or WR that produces in the late rounds or the waiver than a QB. Also if teams start grabbing back ups because not everyone will have a backup who is a starter makes for a shortage at the position. If you have a chance to grab Mahomes, Watson or Rodgers in the late 2nd/early 3rd, I would definitely do that. Also, the gap in QB scoring is bumped in big leagues. Mahomes (500+ points) scored almost 100 points more than the #2 QB last year and 200 more than the 12th rated QB. Kelce and Ertz scored just under 300 points and only 160 more than the 12th ranked TE and not much difference there between 12 and 20. Same with WRs' The most points scored was 330 and there are about 20 WRs within 100 points of that. Deep leagues are all about the late rounds. Get a stud in rd 1, a good player in rd 2 and then make sure you do research on guys who could break out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 ended up with this; Pick 1. (the wait from 1 to 40 is insane) QB - Mitch Trubisky RB1 - Saquon Barkley RB2 - Kenyan Drake WR1 - Steffon Diggs WR2 - Allen Robinson TE - George Kittle W/R - Marquise Goodwin DEF - Chiefs K - Chris Boswell BN- Matthew Stafford (QB) BN - Nyheim Hines (RB) BN - Robert Foster (WR) BN - Jess James (TE) BN - John Ross (WR) BN - TJ Yeldon (RB) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Qbs are weak but have potential which is solid in such a deep league. I don't like the end of your roster as I don't see a lot of upside with Yeldon, Hines, and Foster. Unless Hines or Yeldon end up in Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Hines or Yeldon end up in Houston. Appreciate it. Will be active in waivers to clear some of those latter ones - but there really wasn't much around toward the end as you can imagine. Went Barkley, Diggs, Kittle top 3 rounds. The NFL thingy graded it top 4 in the league, but I'm sure that means zip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine being at the 20 spot and getting two fringe guys and then having to wait the 40 picks. At least you start with Barkley. Its crazy how deep leagues make you feel like you are overdrafting guys. Just curious, where did the top 3 QBs go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
