Couldn't agree with this more. Also, I don't understand how its universally accepted that rookies dictate structure, but when someone proposes a 5 premium defense because of rookies, it gets shut down by so many. The example team also includes Daicos and Young who already are or will be DPP. This team can just swing them mid to allow for rookie downgrades in defense in the unlikely event their 5 premiums are actually locked in.
I like the Coleman pick, although the early bye is a pain. He's a small chance of being a keeper. But we know he has a good ceiling, so if he's not a keeper he's a good chance of spiking for a $100k profit, and a good player to loop after the MBR's. He also allows you to read the play rather than trying to guess now who the best players are going to be.

Considered but quite happy with 4. Not confident that I can nail five selections which locks in an overspend for a subpar return on investment and then consider the opportunity cost of spending the equivalent cash in the midfield, etc for a higher ceiling and greater points return. Also an admittance that none of the rookie priced or cheap mid priced def will outperform their price point which feels unlikely as there will be several that come to the fore.
If going down that path, the key is determining how long you will hold onto the sunk cost if one or several of those $550,000+ spots start off slowly. At what average or round would you jump off, as any potential advantage could be lost or be already facing a points deficit?

I am interested in this.
Assuming both coaches don’t have too much cash underutilized on the bench, won’t a value based (midpriced) team beat a GnR team early in the season?
The reasons to avoid midpriced madness used to be running out of trades or getting run down by better teams late in the season … rather than a slow start?
Maybe there is a nuance that I’m missing.

Re Wines a lot depends on how he scores. If his first 5 games were 120, 120, 100, 80, 80 then you will a different result to 80,80,100, 120, 120. As a guide take Gulden from last year. At 472k he started slightly higher than Wines and went 115, 107, 85, 102, 88 to be ave 99 after five games and was priced at 489k a rise of 17k.
