10 team PPR QB 1 point per 15 yds passing
1 point per 10 yds rushing
1 point per 25 yds receiving
Pick 10

Don't really wont a rate mostly discussion on handcuffs

QB D. Prescott 7
WR C. Lamb 7
WR A. Robinson 10
RB N. Chubb 13
RB A. Ekeler 7
TE M. Andrews 8
W/R/T J. Williams 11
K R. GouldSF 6
DEF Denver 11
BN M. Gordon 11
BN J. Jeudy 11
BN D. Samuel
BN D. Chark Jr 7
BN D. Mooney 10
BN J. Jackson

I like my starting line up a lot. Flex not certain but got both the backs there with consecutive picks.

Handcuffed J. Williams, Eckler, A. Robinson, and C Lamb

What are your thoughts on handcuffing receivers? I mean there was no real drop off from some of the receivers when I pulled the trigger and I was still able to get best available receivers Chark and Jeudy and pick up the handcuffs.

I'd say it is OK to handcuff RBs taken in the first couple of rounds...but if you handcuff as many as you did, then you may have to start them when BYE weeks start coming around. I personally wouldn't handcuff WRs unless the starter is already injured and you are waiting for him to come back.

I’m with Bike.

I usually only handcuff my RB1 and possibly my RB2

Most times if you are conservative with your waivers you can pick up your handcuff when you need them.

If I would have handcuffed Tyreek Hill last year, I wouldn’t have been able to pick up James Robinson which having him as a flex won me my league

I get it and even if the receiver you handcuff goes down doesn’t mean the guy you handcuffed him with is going to get markedly more targets.

I do feel Williams and Gordon in the 7th 8th round is viable to have that flex locked up.

I’ll revisit the receivers. Gallup may be good on his own on a bye but Mooney not sure.

...assuming you know which one is going to get the majority of the carries each particular week.

These are some customized settings.

In a team-10 league (which I haven't played in a long time) I don't know if I would handcuff any WR at 1pt/25yds. Even RBs I wouldn't handcuff unless it's a clear backup.

Almost every squad is going to be stacked in a 10-team league and the waiver wire is going to be full of legit players.

I think handcuffing receivers is dumb
