Weekly Winners: Strategy Insights
Key Takeaways:
Stack Divisions
Stack Bye Weeks
Pick 1 NFL Week to Game Stack
Stack Player Archetypes
Stack One Elite Team
Widen Roster Construction Buckets
Scoop ADP Value
Prioritize Elite QB + TE
Key Takeaways:
Focus on Ceiling
Be Different- let your stacks come naturally.
Stack Byes- sacrifice your team for one week but have your entire team live every other week.
Stack QB + TE - Tight ends get most of their scoring from touchdowns. TE1 and QB1 were teammates in 7 of 17 weeks last season.
Lean into weird builds- draft only 1QB, draft 2-3 elite TEs, draft 10+ WRs.
Key Takeaways:
Drafting only 1 QB and 1 TE feels like it is most optimal. However, the longer you wait on your TE selection, the more it lends itself to take multiple tight ends.
Would not stack backfields in WW. Drafting handcuffs likely limits your overall weekly ceiling.
Does not make a whole lot of sense to take 2 elite QBs.
Do not be afraid to draft certain players, reach on ADP, and draft undrafted players.
WR, RB, and TE are usually the best positions to get leverage.
