If you were starting a new 8 team league, what roster settings do you think would work best?
I’m thinking either half or full PPR. 2QB, 2WR, 2FLEX, TE, DST, and K.
Debating going 3WR instead of 2 but not sure if thats too much with 2FLEX spots already.
Did you forget to include RBs in there? My group’s smallest league is 10 teams, but we usually do QB, 2RB, 2-3WR, TE, FLEX, a SUPERFLEX spot, and D/ST. We never really use kickers and in one league we don’t even do D/ST, which has honestly been fine so far.
The Superflex is usually just your QB2 but gives you a little leeway for experimenting if theres an injury and nobody on the waiver wire. I had Engram in there once when he was going off last season, with Kelce in the TE spot. I guess in an 8 team league that is less of a problem, although last year was a bad year to not have a top 6ish QB.
We do full PPR as well. From my perspective it just makes more players playable, especially TEs. But an 8 team league might not have that problem either
Yeah gotta have RBs. And since the league is so small why not 3 rbs and make some position scarcity to facilitate trades or see who really knows their stuff. If you only have 2 rbs there’s always gonna be great options on the ww. Heck why not go 3 WRs too. I do like the 2 qbs.
So a mix of your ideas. 2qb 3rbs 3wrs 1 TE 1K with weird scoring (-5 pts for missing an extra point. D can be great if you fine tune scoring.
I think adding some position scarcity and reasons to trade is a great idea for an 8 team league. Plus seeing your team get a bunch of points just feels good lol. Even if its just because there are more players
