I know you guys love these and I promise this isn't a "I have a bet going with my buddy" type thing.

12 teams, PPR, Bonus points for TDs over 40 yards, 1/30 return yards. Start QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 flex, and some IDPs.

Team A

QB - Stafford, Rivers
RB - Bell, Collins, Lamar Miller, Dion Lewis, Chris Thompson, Riddick
WR - Tyreek Hill, Golden Taint, Crabtree, Rishard Matthews
TE - Evan Engram, Kittle


Team B

QB - Stafford, Rivers
RB - Bell, Collins, Henry, Cohen, Mack, Booker
WR - Tyreek Hill, Crabtree, Corey Davis, Cobb, Sheppard
TE - Clay



The IDPs are comparable, but if I had to give a small edge, I would give it to Team B. These are 2 teams that I ran through a mock draft where you link it to your league. Team B was drafted by me and received an 81 rating (out of 100). Team A was autodrafted and received a 98. I know not to put too much stock into these things, but I just don't see that great of a difference between the two teams. Does Golden Tate and a TE mean the difference between a B- and an A+? Is it the bench RBs? The program breaks it down between starters and backups and A's starters are well ahead of B's. I just don't get it.

yep A, major difference to me are the TE obviously, Tate in a ppr at wr2 is vastly superior to Crabby (not to mention Crabby is also on A, and likely projects higher than Corey Davis with Mariotta coming off such a poor season)
And if projections are adjusted regularly, Miller likely goes for more than Henry in a ppr setting given the most recent rumor that Foreman starts out on the pup

Differences...

Team A

RB - Lamar Miller, Dion Lewis, Chris Thompson, Riddick
WR - Golden Taint, Rishard Matthews
TE - Evan Engram, Kittle


Team B

RB - Henry, Cohen, Mack, Booker
WR - Corey Davis, Cobb, Sheppard
TE - Clay

A lot easier to digest this way...

Truth

A has better ppr options flex through end of bench, simple as that

Yep. Right now I wouldn't take any combination of Team B's WRs & TEs over Team A's...

Hmm... interesting.

I'm not saying that B is better, but I just don't see how team A is a league front runner and team B is middle of the pack.

I don't think a B+ is middle of the pack, perhaps lead dog of the middle pack I guess..?

Davis most likely is not getting any love. Not that I can get anyone to part with him in a Dynasty format.


Tate has a hard ceiling, as he won't get many downfield looks or end zone targets. But he gets a shitload of underneath action and is as consistent as it gets.


I really wouldn't worry much about projected scoring personally though.

For shits and giggles, I did a mock where i went defense first, then filled out my offense. I got an 83...

Ya know...could probably work. The only way you know for a fact you'll get a full 16 games from your first rounder..

For me I give team A the lead at RB and B the lead at WR. QBs are equal so it comes down to TE - so team A gets the nod. .....

I think I am going opposite from everyone else... I prefer team B... Sure the TE in B is significantly worse... and that will hurt...

BUT the depth at WR and RB is so much better in B...

the way I see it, in a 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex league, and this roster,

RB 1 and RB 2 are the same for both

WR 1 is the same for both

so WR 2 is Tate vs Crabtree... Tate is better, but not significantly

Flex will be Henry Vs lamar Miller- that I consider a tie...

But here is where B is better...

the upside of Corey davis, Marlon Mack, Booker, Cohen and sheppard DESTROY the upside for team A...

Davis has the potential to be team B's fantasy WR 1

Mack and Booker are the nfl's team RB 1 right now, and there job to lose... sure they are both easily losable jobs, but we see this happening every year that a RB with a losable job owns their job all season...

And even if booker or Mack lose their jobs, I don't see either losing it totally... Booker is too good receiving, and mack is higher upside than Wilkins...


So I just see team B to be so much deeper, that it would overcome the TE difference... and having depth at TE is near irrelevant since it is not like team A would ever start 2 TEs any week...

I am also not expecting either Kittle or Engram to be top 5 TEs... so I don't think either are game changers...

Don't really understand the LOVE for engram this season...
