Dobbins, D’Andre Swift, and CeeDee Lamb as your first four picks, you’ve likely kicked off a rebuilding squad. On the other hand, if you traded out of the first round and began your startup with A.J. Elliott, Henry, and Jones are perfect assets for a contending team, but Jefferson won’t offer much in Year 1 as a rookie wide receiver. If you spent your first three picks on Ezekiel Elliott, Derrick Henry, and Julio Jones, don’t waste your fifth-rounder on Justin Jefferson. In dynasty leagues, active owners win, and quiet or passive owners lose, and the startup is no different.Īlso, you need to consider the mix of players you draft in a startup, primarily based on who you selected in the early rounds. You should have either tried to acquire additional first-round picks or sold your future first-rounder to make a Year 1 push. If you finish a 2020 startup and you have precisely your original 2021 first-round rookie pick and no others, you’ve probably already done something wrong. That sounds like a sound theoretical concept, but it’ll make more sense once you hear some examples. I wrote a recent article about determining whether you’re a real contender, and in that piece, I excoriated dynasty owners that feel content to sit in the middle.
In dynasty leagues, finishing in the middle of the pack is a losing cycle. Don’t go halfway between the two strategies. The second most important lesson to succeed in a dynasty startup is to either go for it in Year 1 or take a productive struggle approach. Value is always king in dynasty, both during the startup and throughout the life of a dynasty league. That’s why I put it up top, as it’s the most important and also most frequently broken principle for dynasty owners. If you take nothing else away from this guide, I want you to remember this part. Don’t assume the team you draft in the startup will be your final team, and honestly, it shouldn’t be if you’re an active owner. Be an active trader and scour the waiver wire to improve your team continually. You can always make trades later on to fill your starting lineup, but you’ll never regain the value lost by making suboptimal value picks during the startup. Don’t draft based on positional needs in your startup draft. Nobody knows everything, and being open to learning and listening is how I’ve become the dynasty owner I am today.Īnyway, this phrase has a fundamental meaning. One of the most important things you can do to improve your dynasty startup strategy is to learn from those who’ve played the most leagues and who have the most experience. I have to thank my Trade Addicts 8 league-mate Dynasty Outhouse for this one. With all that said, let’s get into the 1QB guide. At this point, superflex formats are so popular within the dynasty community that they certainly deserve their own guide. I’m going to split it up into two parts, one for regular 1QB leagues and one for superflex leagues. Therefore, I want to give you my version of the dynasty startup strategy guide. Now that the 2020 season looks like a lock to happen, many of you readers might participate in dynasty startups before the season begins.
So much has changed in the dynasty universe since March 2019, especially dynasty startup strategy, and I want to address that before the 2020 season. However, I feel like the guide needs a 2020 update. That guide holds up well even now, and I would highly recommend going back and reading it. Back in 2019, the then-DFF team wrote a dynasty startup strategy guide.
