QB Targets and Fades — How to play the tiers
Where QB makes sense in both one-QB and SuperFlex
I recently went through the comments of every recent post and answered a variety of stuff that I should probably make into a mailbag, but there’s only so much time. But if you like the Q&A type stuff, go look through the archives at bengretch.substack.com, because there are a lot of answers there.
The one post I didn’t hit was the “home league” post, because the comments there devolved into long breakdowns of your league types. I totally get that, and no worries whatsoever, but hopefully you’ll understand that I just don’t have the time to get into the nuts and bolts of the most complicated league types in the comment section. And in fact, I just want to say that from here on out, I’m going to have to be pretty picky with the time I can set aside to that stuff to ensure I keep up my writing schedule, and also sleep and eat and those other things.
That doesn’t mean I don’t offer ways for help! My solution for this year is the Signals Gold subscription, and tomorrow (Friday) night at 8 pm ET I’m going to host my first livestream for Gold subscribers. It will be a trial run of sorts, as it’s not something I’ve done before, but if it gets working well I’ll hang out for at least an hour, maybe more, in a setting where I can talk through your specific questions in the chat rather than having to type out those longer strategy ideas in addition to writing all the pieces I’m writing. More info on that to come for Gold subs, but I will say that upgrading your subscription can be a bit of a pain, so if you do want to do that, please shoot me a private message somewhere with the email your current subscription is under, and I will cancel that sub with a pro-rated refund so you can then be free to subscribe under the Gold plan. (The best way to do this is probably just reply directly to this email.)
The other option to get your complicated question answered is hit me up for a one-on-one consultation, which are a bit pricier. I’ve already done three of these this year, with a couple more scheduled. But put simply, my Q&A with you is way easier if I can talk with you about it rather than write. My fingers are sore.
One of the questions I saw multiple places today related to SuperFlex, and how the QB tiers fit into the other tiers in that format, particularly at the top. Alex wrote it this way:
Maybe you can touch on this on the QB tiers (because last year you did a super helpful Attacking SuperFlex leagues post), but would be great to know at what point the non-QBs exceed the QB tiers in SF, especially for those that may have difficult decisions on the 1/2 turn.
