Is your answer to the half point PPR question the same for standard/zero PPR? And what if you can't get one of the top three backs. For example, picking 7, am I rational to draft Kyren and Achane in the first two rounds, both above ESPN ADP. Hopefully they get me through the early part of the year, and then in the late rounds of the draft and waivers I load up on young backs who might get a large role at the back end of the season. However painful a standard league is, it is the oldest home league for me.
Yeah what I hate about standard is it ratchets up the luck element. So no, it wouldn’t be the same, and I do think your plan as outlined makes sense — you just have to hit on Kyren and Achane, more or less, but both have sufficient upside to make that gamble in my opinion.
and here I was, copy-pasting your comments into a doc like an animal 🙌
