RCF Dynasty Football League

I tweaked the rosters and rules a bit to add .5 PPR for WRs and RBs and 1 PPR for TEs. These values are obviously negotiable and something we will chat about over the next week or so. The idea of these settings in addition to the superflex is to make QBs and TEs much more valuable than the afterthought they tend to be in standard scoring leagues.

For now, the rosters are set to:
1QB
1RB
1WR
1TE
1SFLEX
4FLEX
1LB
1DL
1DB
1DFLEX

35 players total (may push that to forty).

Haven't set up IR spots yet, as we need to discuss if we'll be doing a taxi squad. If so, that takes the place of IR and we won't be allowed to use IR for injured players (unless, of course, they are taxi-eligible). If not, we'll probably just have two standard IR slots.

Those 4 flex slots.

Are they WR/RB or WR/RB/TE

Right now they are WR/RB/TE and the SFLEX is QB/WR/RB/TE.

Even with the TE premium, though, I doubt it makes much of a difference seeing as there is a massive drop-off after the top few TEs in fantasy scoring. Even the full PPR won't make a mid-tier TE more valuable than a WR2 or RB2. However, it does make the top TEs a lot more valuable.

But this does add a point to trying to add multiple elite TE's over WR's.

I feel like a jump from .5 to a full 1 may be a little much. Maybe .5 to .75. I'm just spitballing but I'm down with whatever we decide on.

It does. But I think that's a viable draft strategy. If you want to use your top two picks on TEs, you're also not getting any of the elite WRs or RBs, so that's a choice you have to make.

I'll make an account and join soon, sorry. In the process of moving and haven't had any spare time.

No worries. Still got two spots left and I think everyone that has expressed interest so far has joined.

Just need one more after you to make it an even twelve.

I'm in.

One question I have - I've never played in a league where you draft individual defensive players as opposed to a team. I'm not opposed to it, I'd actually think it'd be kind of cool, but how valuable are defensive players?

Is an elite defender like Khalil Mack as valuable as an elite offensive producer like Julio Jones? How does the scoring work?

Im new too and would like to know this.

Last year in my other dynasty league that does IDPs, here were the top scorers at each defensive position:

DL - Khalil Mack - 11.8 PPG, 188 total
DB - Landojn Collins - 15.3 PPG, 245 total
LB - Kwon Alexander - 15 PPG, 240 total

To compare, here are the top scores at RB, WR, and TE in that same league's scoring:

RB - David Johnson - 23.5 PPG, 375 total
WR - Antonio Brown - 17.2 PPG, 257 total
TE - Travis Kelce - 11.7 PPG, 186 total (not a TE premium league, mind you)

So generally speaking, the top DB and LB can are less valuable than the top RBs and WRs, but they are comparable to the second tier at those positions. The best IDPs can also be more valuable than TEs, although keep in mind that this will be a TE premium league so TEs will be more valuable. It is worth noting that JJ Watt is listed at DL and has 300+ point seasons in his career.

In that league, the first IDP player selected during the start-up draft was in the eighth round, I believe. Myles Garrett also went in the first round of our rookie draft, but there are a lot of Browns fans in that league (it's my Ohio friends league) and he was probably overdrafted.

Also, how would you guys feel about doing a tiered PPR system? .5 for RBs, 1 point for WRs, and 1.5 for TEs? This would help make the top WRs roughly as valuable as the top RBs, and the top TEs probably only slightly less valuable. It would also probably make WRs more valuable overall, which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing in dynasty, as their careers are more stable and less volatile than RB.

I'm fine with whatever dynasty and PPR veterans are cool with. I've played PPR before where every catch was 1 point, and running backs ruled the league.

Another question: why no kicker? I've had Justin Tucker in every league I've been in for the last few years and I don't want to lose him

Basically, in dynasty, I find it an unnecessary position. You're not going to scout kickers. You're never going to roster more than one unless you're an idiot or you have one of the top two or three kickers and it's a bye week. We have a kicker starting in my other dynasty league and I hate it. Half the teams in the league don't even roster kickers during the offseason. They just drop them and pick up prospects at WR or RB, hoping someone blows up at camp or in the preseason and justifies a full time roster spot.

And if a position is so pointless that teams don't roster them, can't hoard them (no value), generally stream them during the season, and there's no real good reason to scout them, they don't really belong in dynasty.

 

[Jack Brickman]

Still got one spot left. Surely one of the other guys from the RCF main league is willing to step up to the plate and run a dynasty team!

I will join since my presence alone will just to remind triple threat and Sport coach what failures they are on a weekly basis.
