Looking at my starting lineup from last season, I think I’ll execute the same strategy of going cheap with TE, DST and Kickers allowing lots of quality WR, RB, Q.

Should help with J Whitten returning, rookie TE at Detroit and H Henry returning from missing all of last season due to injury in regards to TE.

With WR’s- D Hopkins, D Adams, J Jones, M Thomas are near certainties to start with 1 or more of A Brown, OBJ and Ju Ju.

Qb’s will likely be 2 of P Mahomes, A Rodgers and B Mayfield with K Murray on the bench.

RB will be difficult due to a wide array of options consisting of A Kamara, E Elliot, L Bell, D Johnson, C McCaffrey, T Gurley, S Barkley, L Fournette, D Freeman and J Jacobs all vying for 4 on-field spots.

Looking forward to the new season filling the void between AFL SC and BBl SC.

Haven't looked at any specific players yet as I tend to do the draw first ... will calculate the best loophole options next once the fantasy site opens and then go from there ..

Here is my scheduled order of games. Have removed some personal Strength of Fixture formatting but left in the "Vegas" number of predicted W - ? - L based on team strength against the opposition ..

2019 Fantasy Strength of Schedule (SoS)
Strength of schedule is important tool in the arsenal of serious fantasy football drafters. By knowing what players have easier schedules you'll be able to make the hard decisions between two players.
Our Strength of Schedule rankings are based on fantasy points (performance scoring) allowed by position. #1 is the best/easiest/most favorable schedule for that position and #32 is the hardest/least favorable schedule. #1 means that the opponents that the team faces during the selected period allow the most fantasy points. Click the table headers to sort.
For example, the team listed as #1 for QBs has the best/easiest/most favorable schedule for the selected time frame because those opponents surrendered the most fantasy points to QBs over the time period.

I'll start calling for interest very soon. It's still 5-6 weeks away from week 1 of the season.

The smallest league size is 4 on ESPN.

Be good to get to 8 I’d say. Not used ESPN before, happy to give any format a go.

I think Sportsdeck also offer a draft format but unsure on the league sizes.
They do, however it wasn't a user friendly experience from my perspective. ESPN or NFL will be my preferred platform.

How we want to customize the league will determine the platform. Numbers will be the key.

My only Question would be the difference in scoring calculations .... wouldn't want to be tracking 2 different sets of numbers ...

There isn't a lot of difference in the ranking of players between RDT and ESPN/NFL, especially before week 1. ESPN/NFL will give you a lot of information so that you don't have to track on a weekly basis.

As you can see above Tails, there isn't much difference in rankings between the formats.
