Dynasty Start Up 101
Hello Heat Seekers welcome to episode 81 of Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast. I hope that everyone is doing well. Thanks for being here.
Today is a special episode that I have been meaning to get to for weeks and finally have managed to sort it all out and record this. This is an episode that I am very excited about and the biggest reason for this is that, this episode is a listener request episode. A few weeks back Al Preziosi reached out to me in the RotoHeat Dynasty Fantasy Football Community on Facebook.
A little back story on my man Al here. Al joined our community on May 12 of this year. He took the leap into Dynasty Fantasy Football a year ago taking over an orphan team, and he is currently preparing for this first startup draft. Al is trying to absorb as much dynasty content as possible preparing for this startup draft. This will be his first dynasty startup. He let me know that there is not that much content out there about startup drafts and he was wondering if my audience would be interested. Well Al, we are about to find out my man.
I can tell you all that in my brief chats with Al via Facebook Messenger that he is way more prepared for his first startup than I was for mine.
He has a BPA (best player available),approach. His league is a .5 PPR, .1 PPC, 1 QB League. In this startup Al has the 6th pick. He mentioned to me that he intends to try and trade back, he wants to go RB early as he has noticed that RB’s fly off the board early and you are left with crap after the first few rounds. He trust’s his ability to nail a late round WR much more than a RB. He generally waits on TE and even longer on QB.
See I told y’all Al was prepared.
In addition, Al was looking for some value picks, specifically my favorite value picks, especially deep sleepers in startups. So, Al has really put me to work here, and I love it. I am going to tackle this, this way.
I will start off with my rules for Dynasty Start-ups, things that I believe are important and thing I focus on when I compete my stat ups. I should say, I don’t consider myself the best drafter in the world, I’m good but I am not a Guru my any means. My specialty is the rebuild and I might just have to do another podcast on that topic. But that is a story for another day.
Then I am going to mock the first 6 rounds of your upcoming draft. Talk about each of you top 6 picks out of the 6 hole and players that I believe will be there for you.
Wrap it up with some deep sleepers guys to target in the later rounds of your draft. Al’s league up is 25 man roster so we will go shopping in round 23 and see what is there. Should be a blast.
OK lets go, Sully’s Dynasty Start-Up 101
1. Know your leagues rules and the scoring system.
It sounds simple, but there are a lot of leagues with variations of starting spots, scoring settings, and other quirks that make each league unique. I can take this a step further, know the bylaws as well and to be honest you should know all this stuff before you join the league let alone your startup.
Good news here is Al has this covered. As we discussed this is a .5 PPR, .1 PPC, 1 QB League. Starting lineup are 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex. Having this sorted out is crucial. You must know what you are trying to accomplish. Your rules and scoring are your road map, without it you are lost and will wonder how the hell you ended up where you ended up. I can’t tell you how many times in the middle of drafts that an owner will post is this a PPR league in th...
