I keep wanting to do this then forgetting to before the season starts. Nobody does 3 WR anymore

I discourage but do not forbid* the swapping of a WR slot for a Flex spot in future years.
*obviously I can't explicitly forbid anything, I just hate change but I'm not gonna get all uppity about it if everyone else wants it
this is where I hypocritically laugh at moot for playing two tight ends after bopping #strongs league last year with Gronk + post-injury Reed
I actually do like having three WR-only slots, since it's a lot deeper than RB these days so sometimes it kinda makes you scrounge for a half-assed third option to plug in kinda like how you often need to do for RB if you didn't draft two studs early. With only two WR slots, it's too easy for everybody to have two really good options so there's less thinking and turnover. On the other hand, I like having a Flex spot too because it makes the draft itself more challenging by forcing people to directly compare the scoring potential of players in different positions instead of solely going off positional tiers.
(This is not me advocating for simply adding a Flex spot and having both 3WR + Flex.)

i agree very much with that last paragraph. i can see the pros of both but being able to have the flexibility in both draft and in lineup set far outweighs the fact that rb value < wr value (which i completely agree with). the bench size is fine for me too right now i just prefer to stack at TE in my more "comfortable" lineups and it makes it difficult with this type of lineup obv

Wait... how the fuck did your league let that guy assemble a WR corps with Brown, A-Rob, and Evans?
Look at the bottom, only 8 teams in the league.
I guess... So he went AB #1, A-Rob and Evans #16-17, and still got CJA and Muscle Hamster at #32-33? Still kinda fucked up
I lucked out big time by snagging cruz off waivers and dropping the broken k.allen
Obj is gonna get tje elite cb and the rest is split between rook Shepherd and cruz.
Edit: Vereen will be a pass catcher until he gets injured

the endless struggles of guess which guy will go off.
rolling the dice on C-Mike over McKinnon/RashadJ in my full ppr league. also starting Diggs over JMatthew in that league.
in one half ppr league i'm plugging TSharpe into a flex over JMat/RMat/RJen/JMcK because i have a feeling. i really don't like starting Langford anymore, he's looking to be a big bust for me, but i don't like the matchups on any of the other RBs i have, and RJenn is not getting the bellcow treatment we were all promised. leaning towards JMcK over him.
other ppr league i'm starting Old Man Gore over Langford/RJenn/SWare, and flexing LFitz over TY/Snead.
