1st 4 rounds you find quality.... after that other than K's & TE's & 3rd sting WR it's pretty thin......

16 team league is tough and a bad draft can make it not very fun. If there is no waiver wire stay on top of the FA, those pick ups are going to big on giving you the best chance of winning

As soon as you feel like there aren't quality picks to be made, start going with high-upside guys... Be them backups to oft-injured players, or young guys who have a chance to get meaningful playing time. Figure you'll need to get lucky here and there, no matter what.

better than playing in those say 10-12 leagues, those are just pathetic.

agreed.. split up into 2 - 8 team leagues and and play separate of each other until the super bowl where the winner of each side plays each other..

Why isn't it worth playing? You get to really dive into the entire league and have to be on top of your game. I prefer a 12 team league, think its a perfect mix as 10 is too shallow for me, but i think 16 is a good challenge

16 with only 2 bench players would be sick. Make people do work on that waiver wire.

thanks for the insight boys. not worth playing? it's worth as much as playing in a 12 team league (i'm in two of those as well) which is still a toss up. think it takes a smarter player to win a 16 man league, but i'm still unsure of which way to go.

IDK, I wish I could agree with ya.

The best advice I saw was taken RB as much as you can..

My 12 man PPR there were teams really hurting for RB's... I honestly dont know if 2 more teams could have survived...

One big injury will also kill you.. IMO, just seems like more luck than skill..

could be, defy! i'm still in the same boat as 15 others, though. i'm just not sure of strategy. i did this 16 man a few years ago but i can't even remember how i drafted it.
