Fantasy League Question - Am I crazy?

[jwlincy]

I'm in a 14 team non-PPR league and we're looking at making some changes for next year. There are alot of complaints because there just aren't enough good RBs to stock 14 teams (and cover bye weeks). So we're considering adding a flex spot to are starting linuep (currently 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K & 1DEF). I'm proposing we go to 1RB, 2WR and 1Flex but there are a couple of teams that think we should go to 1RB, 1WR, 2Flex. Am I crazy to think that being able to start 3RBs and 1WR makes no sense?

Please help me.

I play in a 10 team league PPR, with with a starting lineup o f1 QB, 1 Rb, 1 WR, 1 TE, 3 WR/RB, TE, K so no you are not crazy.

I'm not in any 14 team leagues, but I can understand the frustrations of not having enough talent to go around.

Is the flex spot RB/WR only?

I think if you make it 2 flex, then RB hoarding will continue anyway, since no PPR devalues WRs.

I would only go 2 flex if you change to PPR, since WRs would then outscore many RBs.

3 QB/RB spots? That is definitely interesting.

Maybe you guys might think about implementing some changes (going PPR maybe?) to your scoring system that would deepen the pool of useful RBs as well?

Yes, the flex spot is a RB/WR slot. I agree with having 2 flex spots leading to RB hoarding. I proposed going to PPR but I'm not sure if it will gain enough support.

Maybe I should drop this league and stay in the RJ Pay for Play league.

You should definitely expand the flex to also include TEs, which should add value to them and the overall player pool.

Oops, that should be WR/RB (a simple flex).

If the complaint is that it's too thin at RB, 2 flex will just make the problem worse. Especially if there's no PPR.
