Advice:
Putting league together - decide positions and scoring for defense first, look at your league points from last season to determine any switches you want to make (make DTs more valuable, TEs CBs etc)
Drafting/joining league - Look at scoring first
Build around top DE, Tier 1 LBs, Top safeties depending on scoring of course
Treat DTs/CBs like tight ends don’t overdraft, but if there is a value take it.
Also similar to tight end position see if there is a premium on the position.
ALWAYS KNOW YOUR SCORING AND STARTING REQUIREMENTS
