";s:4:"text";s:12342:"We are in our 29th year of 8 team FF. For example, Wentz, Alex Smith, and Watson went undrafted in our league last year. Depends on how many other owners roster 2QBs (there's always some folks who just never feel safe without a backup on their roster and will hold onto Luck through the end of the season while he wastes away behind Rodgers). Pasted as rich text. We have non-typical scoring, but the above is fairly generic advice. I assume in an 8 team league it would real easy. Curious what your waivers are like, as I do really believe that since there will be much talent on the wire, it can make the difference, especially if/when a stud goes down. I wouldn’t settle for a Stafford or Ryan in an 8 man, I’d either go Rodgers or try to hit on a Mahomes or Jimmy G breakout. If not, then help me out . 8 overall in PPR leagues How to navigate from the eighth overall pick in a PPR league that starts three wide receivers. Yes, this post implies the fact that some of us are in an 8 teams league. Your strategy would be a little different if you start 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, TE, K, D and 1 flex. By Agree with a lot of the comments above. Draft studs early regardless of position. I could have gone Kamara and Fournette (likely) at 1/2, then followed that with Diggs and Hilton or Diggs/Hilton and Kelce or both Diggs and Hilton. So basically you need around 13 starting positions. Honestly, I have not played in an 8 teamer in 19 years, so I thought I would start a thread just in case someone else out there could use the input. It is important to win at every position in 8 team leagues. Guys you think of as high-floor “solid starters” (RB2/WR3 types) are net negative players in 8-teamers. 2019 Fantasy Football Draft Prep: Strategy for picking No. It's a lot more boom/bust. It's just a crapshoot. What's the acumen level of the other Owners? Own it dude! Points Per Receptions (PPR) leagues differ from standard fantasy football leagues because you receive points for each reception your players make. It's my experience that at this moment in time, with the advent of Super Flex and 2QB, almost all recently established 8-Teamers incorporate one of these parameters, which would mean you'd have to formulate your draft strategy around the ability to start more than 1QB...if the League is more luck-based, I agree with the poster above who suggested a 'swing for the fences' approach. I'd prefer to get A-Rod or (if it's a 4-pt pass TD league) Wilson under the mantra of "studs everywhere", but if I can't, I'd be perfectly content playing the wire all season. In the 8 team league I played in (it lasted 6 years I believe), we had one owner who was dead set on streaming QBs and he won the league once, and finished 2nd once or twice. But I honestly would not play in an 8 team normal lineup league for fun, much less for big money. Everyone has a stacked team. I wouldn’t settle for a Stafford or Ryan in an 8 man, I’d either go Rodgers or try to hit on a Mahomes or Jimmy G breakout. So last night was the draft, and I had the sixth pick (.5 PPR). To take this seriously, would someone go BPA in something like this, or is there really no strategy to it? 100% agree on reaching for Gronk and Kelce. So I try and fill out my best lineup before I start drafting backups. The bar for fantasy relevance in an 8-teamer is soooo high that if a guy isn't getting a large share of snaps or targets after a couple of weeks on your roster, it's usually safe to dump him. It’s a little maddening for sure always playing stacked opponents but the posters above Gabe good advice—grab studs you normally as a “shark” wait on. If it is a normal 1/3/2/1 lineup then like everyone said, gotta go for upside and upside alone. When I did an 8 teamer years ago, we started 2 QBs, 3RBs, 4WRs, TE, K ,D, and 1 flex at RB/WR/TE. In the end, I would have played it more like a 12 teamer. But seriously, the only way to play in <12 team leagues is to make the roster spots similar to a 12 team league. 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Prep: Picking at No. Threads like this are where the Shark Pool is at its best IMO. Guys like Crowell who are a warm body are not worth rostering IMO because the ceiling is low. ETA -- if you can start 2 QBs then the above does not apply. In a normal 12-14 teamer the best RB on the wire might be a 5ppg guy, whereas in an 8-teamer it might be a 9ppg one. I guess my 8 teamers would be considered pretty short bench leagues and fairly typical lineup requirements......so the WW is very important.....vs more lineup spots and deep benches, which obviously de-values the WW and puts more emphasis on the draft.....just different strategy. And if you really want to succeed on the wire, you absolutely can’t be married to your backups or bench players. I have to disagree on getting a QB early because there are so many good QBs. Everyone has a stacked team. I select TY Hilton thinking this run of RBs (which is resembling a run like a 12 teamer) will cool off. On a related note, don't be afraid to churn your bench ruthlessly. In the next four picks, Freeman and Howard both go. It doesn't, and I pass on Drake in favor of Hilton. Powered by Invision Community. Like I said earlier, you’ll have Somebody like Goodwin as your RB4 and he’ll be a drop candidate for you in Week 3 if Hyde gets hurt and Chubb beasts out on the wire. Ive been invited to participate in an 8-team, pretty high-dollar draft. Last year the difference between QB5 and QB16 was 40 points for the season ... about 2.5ppg. I looked at the FBG pay content and did not see anything there but am curious what the strategy is on something like this? Trading is harder in 8 team leagues because the WW is plentiful. Best advice for an 8-team league strategy: add 4 more teams. However, there is one major difference in the form of three-point bonuses for 300+ passing yards, 100+ rushing yards or 100+ receiving yards. Possibly? The rest of the time it was always the Brees/Brady/Rodgers owners (pass TDs were 6 pts in our league, and interceptions were like -3 I think) just because QBs score so much and the difference between QB3 and QB8 was much greater (5 years ago when I had this league) than the difference between RB12 and RB24 on a per game basis. So go BPA for at least 6-7 rounds. Display as a link instead, × Upload or insert images from URL. Clear editor. At first blush, I would think so too, but I am really starting to believe the approach for an 8 teamer is really different than a 12 teamer (which is the minimum I normally play). Again, trying to keep the initial post general in case someone else is in the same boat, but will answer some more specific questions about the league...and yes, feel free to call me a noob for being in an 8 teamer. Restore formatting, × I love it! Yeah, I did the math, and as long as no one rosters a second DEF or Kicker, I am looking at just 112 players rostered. Rodgers is the only QB that I would take early in an 8 teamer. So, without further ado, here is the perfect 18-round fantasy football draft strategy for 12-team PPR leagues in 2020. Every week is like playing roulette. But we could give you better draft advice if you say what your scoring system is. Gronk and the elite QB's are worth more than in normal leagues. You’ll be hard-pressed to catch me selecting a wide receiver in Round 1, and that’s my recommendation to anybody drafting. Guys you think of as high-floor “solid starters” (RB2/WR3 types) are net negative players in 8-teamers. Your previous content has been restored. In fact, Gronk should be taken after the top 4 RBs, Brown and Hopkins......to me he's probably a top 7 player in terms of value. If so, then you are streaming guys who may produce 70% of the numbers as the top guys (which the top 6 will be on 3/4 of the teams) while you may have RB12 languishing away on the bench because you are so loaded there. I would take stud RBs, stud WRs, and Gronkowski before I would ever take a stud QB. Yeah pretty much. So my first question is, is it pretty standard setup? Depends on how many other owners roster 2QBs (there's always some folks who just never feel safe without a backup on their roster and will hold onto Luck through the end of the season while he wastes away behind Rodgers), and it depends on how well you feel about the rest of your team during the draft. Thinkin about firing up an 18 team league.....triple reverse snake auction....who's in? Best advice I can tell you is swing for the fence as often as you can. I'm in two big money 8 teamers.....both live drafts....both long running....both very unique scoring....non ppr....both rely heavily on yardage bonuses and distance TD's.....I came in to both leagues within last few years, and was skeptical of 8 teamers at first.....I can honestly say that now I love both leagues for many reasons...live draft, the unique scoring, unique waivers system that is keeps it fun.....by unique, I mean it's restrictive, and since there is only 8 teams, there is always great talent on the WW, which makes it interesting. you need as many uberstuds as possible, even if t means rolling the dice on riskier players with higher ceilings. McKinnon and Collins go next and I am stuck with Henry (have Miller in all my leagues), and think I will get Miller as a backup on the swing (and he is gone, so I reach and go Freeman (I get Ingram in the 8th)). Round 1 (1-12): Draft a running back. And that assumes you can't do better than QB16 on a game-by-game basis by streaming - a bad assumption given that last year's QB1 and QB3 by ppg (Watson and Smith) were going undrafted in 12-teamers, never mind 8-teamers. Offer lots of trades where you try concentrate your assets into studs (a winning strategy generally, but especially in small leagues). You can take more risks on upside for sure. I think this is sage advice...because I would always pass on a Rodgers or Gronk for D Freeman in a normal sized draft. Making the lineup rigid without a flex adds a degree of difficulty to drafting. Not to give you a blow-by-blow of my draft but also to illustrate in addition to targeting TE and QB studs, have a scenario for each draft slot if you don’t know already where you are drafting. This calls for slight changes in draft strategy since specific players will see a rise in their draft stock over others. We're all used to 1QB,3WR,2RB,1TE,1flex leagues (at a minimum), so we're talking about 12x8=96 players (I prefer at least 12x9=108, although I do play in some 14x10 leagues). People drafting Ingram as their RB2 this year are nuts given the guy's gonna miss half the fantasy regular season, but if he's your RB4 in a league like this, why not? I recently overpaid for Rodgers because streaming QBs was getting me a top 10 QB, but I would still get trounced by the elite ones. Depth doesn't matter as much as in larger leagues. I think I took Gronk second round last three years straight and this year didn’t get him round 2 because I drew the 8th pick and snagged Kamara and Fornette but was able to get Kelce in the third. Might not work that way, but I still go into the draft with that mentality. That’s sad. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account. If I didn't get Rodgers in round 3, I wouldn't take a QB until I have filled out all the rest of my starting lineup spots at RB, WR, and TE (unless I missed out on Gronk and Kelce). I'm not even sure many will double at QB just because the names at RB/WR will look so juicy that it would be hard to drop one for a 2nd QB. you need as many uberstuds as possible, even if t means rolling the dice on riskier players with higher ceilings. 1 hour ago, Ted Lange as your Bartender said: 42 minutes ago, Ted Lange as your Bartender said: Guys with talent that are downgraded due to injury, suspension, etc. TE on the other hand I'd reach for with Gronk/Kelce (and maybe Ertz) quite a bit better than the rest. Honestly, I have not played in an 8 teamer in 19 years, so I thought I would start a thread just in case someone else out there could use the input. Fill out your entire starting lineup with studs before building depth anywhere (don’t go for a bench RB if you still need to fill your third starting WR for example) because depth means nothing in an 8 team.
