JetFanMike Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 We dropped from 12 to 10 teams this year, so to keep the talent pool somewhat balanced we increased roster sizes and starting lineups -- we go QB-RB-RB/WR-WR-WR-TE-PK-DEF-OP (offensive wild card). I've pretty much always tried to use an RB in my RB/WR slot when I have a good one, but am not sure about where a backup QB would fit in the mix. Roster is in signature -- for this week, I'm thinking Andre Johnson as my "offensive player"; but would it make more sense to go with Fred Taylor (a third RB) or even someone like Delhomme? My gut says go with a QB when he has a good matchup, otherwise stick with RB or WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 What is the scoring system? With the flex spot like that, it is a purely points based spot, so, if you think Delhomme will likely go for 16 points and Johnson for 12, even if 16 is a subpar week for a QB and 12 is a good week for a WR, you go with Delhomme.

JetFanMike Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 Thanks -- standard scoring, no PPR. Yeah, I guess you're right -- I'll ignore the position and just look at points, figure it could be different every week. That would tell me to start the QB, I guess. I may end up going with the highly scientific "which game am I most likely to be watching" method of picking my last starter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football_Mom Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 In the league I play in RB and QB are the highest scoring positions. But there are 24 starting RB and only 12 starting QB that are required to be playing in a game. Couple that with the fact that there are some RB who share carries and you are starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel when you put a third RB in your wild card spot. Most QBs don't share and most teams start multiple WR so the talent pool that you have left to pick from at the QB and WR spots is better than the RB spot in most leagues. That would cause me to look at starting a QB or WR in that spot. That's not to say a RB couldn't be the best player, but I would guess that more often than not it would be better to start a QB or WR in the spot. Good luck (from another Jet Fan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
