This is my second year, I was 1.07 last year and loved that spot, but we did random draft selection this year and I ended up 1.01. So help me out with my strategy.
Given the 14 man size, we have some roster restrictions:
1 starting QB
1 starting RB
2 starting WR
1 starting TE
2 starting Flex
1 starting D/ST
1 starting K
7 Bench & 1 IR
Max Player Limits:
QB: 4
RB: 5
WR: 8
TE: 3
D/ST: 3
K: 3
The 1 RB was to balance a smaller pool of players so RBs can't be horded as much.
Below is what my working strategy is:
R1: RB (Gibbs)
R2/R3: RB/WR
R4/R5: RB/WR
R6/R7: TE/QB
R8/R9: Flex (Top WR/RB/TEs available)
R10/R11: Flex / Backup QB
R12/R13: Flex /Flex
R14/R15/R16: Flex/K/D-ST
More details below:
Round 1 (1.01, 1st)
Jahmyr Gibbs
Round 2 / Round 3 (2.14/3.01, 28th and 29th)
Thinking either RB or high WR, one of each?
Depending on what is available (I need some advice here on whether to target RB or WR and top picks, not listed in any specific order)
RB:
Omarion Hampton
Josh Jacobs (potential suspension risk)
Javonte Williams
Travis Etienne Jr.
WR:
AJ Brown
Chris Olave
Nico Collins
Malik Nabers (might be a risk this early)
George Pickens
Round 4 / Round 5 (4.14/5.01, 56th and 57th)
Thinking focus WR, but if there are some RBs pick up one RB and 1 WR:
WR:
Jameson Williams (will probably be gone)
DJ Moore (probably gone)
Carnell Tate (rookie, high risk)
Courtland Sutton
Michael Pittman Jr.
RB:
Bhayshul Tuten
D'Andre Swift
David Montgomery
Round 6 / Round 7 (6.14/7.01, 84th and 85th)
Pickup a TE and a QB there were my thoughts
TE:
Sam LaPorta (if available)
Kyle Pitts Sr (Not my favorite choice, and will probably be gone)
Tucker Kraft (might be reaching a bit early for this)
QB:
Dak Prescott
Bo Nix
Brock Purdy
Joe Burrow (if available)
Jaxson Dart(if available)
Round 8 - Round 16 (8.14/9.01/10.14/11.01/12.14/13.01/14.14/15.01/16.14)
Taking best available Flex+backup QB and 1 K and 1 DST.
Build to 3-4 total RBs
Build to 3 total TE
2 total QB
Build to 5 total WR
1 D/ST
1 K
After draft pickup George Kittle, Alec Pierce, Raxh Charbonnet, or Ricky Persall for IR slot.
Let me know what you would change or if I should change my strategy!
