when can i start draft for dynasty leauge?
Tip 1 is super underrated. Need a commissioner that doesn't allow clear BS. I like that my league forces you start a full roster each week. Those who don't aren't invited back, and the league is much stronger for it
yeah you gotta have a group of guys who love to compete all the time, and that won't take the fun out the game 🛋👊🏽 Thanks for the comment brother
Finally a clear cut explanation for dynasty n00bs! This is a must watch educational video!
Great video!
Keep getting old videos like these in my recommended and I’m loving it
these strategy videos never expire tho!!!!!!!! i made a couple more like these about superflex leagues and action drafts and more
Love it!
Great video Brain and informative never played in a Dynasty League but I saved this video in case I do.
It's a lot of fun, and different variations of dynasty are becoming available, such as best ball dynasty where you draft every year for the league but there's no in-season management (no waivers, no start-sit, etc)
I remember like a year or two ago suggesting for you to make this since I didn’t know anything and you were like maybe but you actually did lmao, I joined some leagues after this and I’m killing them so thanks for that (ik this video is from a while ago, just wanted to point that out).
that's what I love to hear... I'm working on some new strategy videos just like this one too!
Good video. Thanks. Joined my first dynasty league
ty
Awesome video (as expected).
Thank you brother 👊🏽
Drafting in my first Dynasty league tonight, these tips will help a lot man, thank you.
you're welcome & good luck!
You kids still doing drafts? That's like putting ketchup on your hot dog
Great video as always 🛋
Thank you fam 🛋👊🏽
Good video! I'm ready to try a dynasty challenge.
Thank you!
I'm in a league with 10 people, we've been doing a dynasty league for the past 13 years. It's definitely different from a redraft league, but so much fun. If you have a good group, you'll love it.
Awesome vid 👍
TY and good luck this year
Just found this channel. Love it
Tyler Goral Thank you! And welcome to the couch fam 🛋👊🏽
Fantasy Couch thanks for you noticing! I’m looking to join a Dynasty league. (I’m new to them) where is the best place to find them. (I’ve looked at Sleeper in the FantasyFootballAdvice channel and can’t seem to find one)
@@tylergoral It's not easy to find a group of guys down for a real dynasty league. Try our facebook group: Fantasy Couch Fam (not the facebook page, but our group)... great community on there facebook.com/groups/fantasycouch/ btw this is my 2nd youtube channel account. going live on this one soon
Good video by the way man
thank you!
Hey couch! Love the content. Quick question: how do you set the odds for your draft lottery and how do you carry it out?
Team 1 gets 1 "ping pong ball"
Team 2 gets 2 "ping pong ball"
Team 3 gets 3 "ping pong ball"
Team 4 gets 4 "ping pong ball"
Team 5 gets 5 "ping pong ball"
Team 6 gets 6 "ping pong ball"
The 1st ping pong ball picked gets the 6th pick. The final remaining ping pong ball gets 1st pick. Nowadays we don't even do a lottery in 1 of my leagues, we just do maximum points possible
@@FantasyCouch Interesting. The only thing I don’t like about that is that the worst team could get the 6th pick. I made a whole chart with percentages for each pick. It gives every lottery team at least a 1/5 shot of getting a top two pick. For example, the best lottery team (7th overall) gets a 10% chance at 1st, 10% chance at 2nd, and an 80% chance at 6th. Whereas the worst team has a 25% chance at 1st, 25% chance at 2nd, and a 50% chance at 3rd, making 3rd their worst possible position
yes, did you read the very last sentence? This video is kind of old and I prefer that last method more. On Sleeper there's a way to find out the most maximum points a team could have scored. We're moving away from the lottery and using that nowadays. This gets rid of tanking, because it doesn't matter who you start, it just matters which team could have scored the most points. The team that wins the championship automatically gets the last pick
Nice vid!! Gordon or bell in dynasty?
Thank you! Tough one, but I like taking risks... Give me Bell
Fantasy Couch thanks brain!! Always the best!
Ik it’s late but bell
I have the #1 pick in the league I just joined and my team is russel Wilson saquon barkley dalvin cook Joe mixon Ronald Jones Allen Robinson Keenan Allen Tyler Boyd Jarvis Landry Evan Engram and Austin Hooper. Who do u recommend I take? PPR. I'm leaning harris but am also thinking take Lawrence and trade russ for some studs.
Never ever take QB that early unless it's SuperFlex or 2QB... I recommend trading down 1 or 2 spots. This way you can get a quality 3rd round pick or something and still wind up with Chase/Pitts. And worst case scenario is you wind up with Najee at 3 which is amazing lol.
Just since they're similar, what do you think is the better type of league: a dynasty league or an empire league?
Empire league is awesome. It's kind of cool to start over when one owner achieves an actual dynasty and wins twice in a row.
So I have devin singletary on my dynasty team and a manager in my league has offered me Alvin kamara and a 6th round pick from next year for singletary and my first round pick. I’ve already gone 0-2 this year and could possibly get in the top 3-5 picks in the draft out of 12 managers. Would this be worth it to me? I know kamara is on a whole entire level than singletary but that draft pick giving up scares me for what I could possibly get next year. Of course I’m thinking that he’s already proven himself as well. It’s an IDP league and I got nick bosa this year at pick 11 since I was second last year and it’s not a snake draft. It’s based on records from the previous year. I’m mostly losing this year because I have Big Ben and cam Newton. So we all know the rollercoaster that already is
Yeah I would take kamara and the 6th
Which rookie rb should I look at. I really love Javonte Williams and Micheal Turner
Here are my dynasty rookie rankings: czcams.com/video/EfMGhZoAuIk/video.html
Don't forget Trey Sermon
I’m playing my 2nd year of dynasty! Thanks for the video! I have the 2nd pick this year, should I draft rb or wr? I’m hurting on both those positions
for a rookie draft, get jonathan taylor if you can. if not, you can go with Lamb, Swift or Jeudy... I'll be finalizing my rookie dynasty rankings after the 2020 nfl draft and posting them on fantasycouch.com
Fantasy Couch I was leaning towards Jonathan Taylor. I’m looking to clear a few older than 25 rbs that have lost their luster. Looking to do a lot of rebuilding to make a push at a playoff run here this next year or two. Your videos are helping me establish a plan moving forward
that's great to here bud. I'll be posting my 2020 nfl mock draft soon on my website fantasycouch.com and then my 2020 rookie dynasty rankings shortly after the draft
I personally value RBs in the early rounds. It’s easier to find value WRs in later rounds.
@@natebernatchez4079 ok what about if you have the 1.12 and 2.01 who you picking there?
What pick do you like? I’m starting a dynasty league this season and I have any pick to choose except pick #3 out of 10 team league.
I like 1 or 2 overall and go get saquon or c-mac
Sleeper is so nice
I can keep 2 of 3. Mahomes, Thielen or Conner. Any thoughts?
wow i do not like Thielen nor Conner. Do you have to keep any players at all? Because I would keep zero if that means you get to be the only one drafting in the first 2 rounds? lol... I know your league probably won't allow that. I'm thinking keep Mahomes and Conner. Then try to trade away Conner if he has 2-3 good games... he will be in a committee with Samuels + others
how many QBs get taken in the first couple rounds of the startup draft?
In our startup dynasty draft last year, 5 QBs went in the top 24 picks. It's not abnormal to see 7 or more QBs go that early. I film all my drafts, you can watch that one here: czcams.com/video/_52KgZaS2jo/video.html Also, I highly recommend you watch my SuperFlex strategy video: czcams.com/video/QcZ74OGul-s/video.html
I'm a 7-8 fantasy vet with 3 yrs of commissioner experience (PPR).
A buddy of mine, just got me into his Dynasty League ($150).
Unfortunately, I'm taking over someone else's team who dropped out. My team sticks, what advice do you have for me. Rookie Draft is in 2 weeks.
I have to make a lot of cuts and to trades. The good thing is I have the #2 overall pick.
Without seeing your team (may not do a lot of good anyways), I'll give you some basic advice. QUALITY over QUANTITY, always. With the No.2 overall pick definitely take CEH or Taylor. Then plan to go after more quality in the near future... Trade 3 ok players for 1 great player... trade two mid-round picks for a 1st rounder, etc. Easier said then done, but always go for that. Also, since you have a bad team, you're only hope is to win later... Stack players with lots of upside and have lots of youth. Identify other owners in your league that are in win now mode (you can find them cuz they have players like Julio, Brady, Brees, Kelce, etc). Here's my 2020 dynasty rookies video: czcams.com/video/9E7M-6MYOdY/video.html
@@FantasyCouch . I was watching that video too. Lol.
Here's my team.
QB
-M. Mariota
-B. Mayfield
-J. Winston aka Mr. INT
RB
-P. Barber
-T. Cohen
-R. Freeman
-F. Gore Aka Ageless Wonder
-D. Henderson
-C. Hyde
WR
-B. Cooks aka Mr. Concussion
-C. Davis
-J. Elderman (w/o Brady)
-J. Gordon aka Mr. Suspension
-Marvin Jones
-J. Ross
TE
-E. Ebron
-T. Eifert
-V. McDonald
DEF
- Chargers
-Titans
that's a real rough team. Keep stacking draft picks and build for the future
@@FantasyCouch Thanks. I named my team "The Process"
David johnson, antonio brown, joe mixon, nick chubb, james conner. What 2 guys out of that group would be your keepers?
DJ and Mixon. I like AB a lot but I'd rather go with the young RBs there as AB is getting older and on a new team
I say Mixon and Chubb
I got a good team but it’s like Derrick Henry Matt Ryan Allen Robinson, so like the older guys and i have been winning for some time so I might need to rebuild soon. I got some good rookies in a trade for Kenyan drake like ceedee and Henry ruggs
@Lucas Ostrander well, i tried, but he asked for a 1st and two second as well lmao
So is drafting a qb in the first round a good strategy? Someone like Mahomes or kyler
NO quite the opposite. I almost always go QB late in every format except for SuperFlex. If you're considering a sueprflex or 2qb league than watch this strategy video: czcams.com/video/QcZ74OGul-s/video.html
i know this video is old so i dont expect a response but i just joined my first ever dynasty league and I got the number one pick. I'm really nervous ill squander it, do i just go for Mahomes at this point because almost everyone agrees his value is incredible and isnt going anywhere, or is that a waste and should i take the best young RB or WR?
if it's superflex where you can start 2 QBs, then going Mahomes is a good idea. If it's not SuperFlex then I would NOT go Mahomes. You can always trade down too. Trading picks is much more common in dynasty than redraft.
I read every comment btw. I'm here to help!
@@FantasyCouch I appreciate the insight, it is superflex (and TE premium and infinity gauntlet) so im pretty set on taking Mahomes, I love him as a player too so itll be fun to get to root for him basically until he retires
Are there any apps where you can draft college players for the future example like Trevor Lawrence and Ja’Marr Chase?
that's called college fantasy football
Best start up dynasty drafts are slow auction with 1,000 fab. This allows everyone to vie for virtually any player(s) they can afford. It's more fair and more fun than any snake draft or low budget auction.
the "best" is definitely personal preference my friend. If you have ADHD like me and it's hard to get 12 people to be in the same place (online) for several hours, it can be painful. An auction dynasty startup draft can take 4+ hours. Auction has incredible advantages, especially for serious fantasy football fans, but I wouldn't say it's the "best"... the word I'd use is "brutal"
@@FantasyCouch Personal preference, no doubt. But I was referencing slow draft, what used to be called e-mail drafts. Every high bid resets for 12 hours. It can take days or weeks, but it gives everyone time to really and weigh out every decision and apply strategy. It's really fun.
ahh ok. I never did a slow-auction draft. I'm not a fan of slow drafts either man. way too boring for me. I definitely understand the pros of doing an auction draft tho, and I do one on this channel every year for money.
Calvin Ridley? Real deal or fluke? Rookie wrs are usually not good so when one flashes should you chase him or no?
Real Deal. Calvin Ridley is no longer a rookie and is on a good offense with a good QB
What happens when you join a dynasty league that already ongoing? Do you inherit the team that quit?
yup exactly. imagine a new GM or head coach being hired on a new team. he inherits that team and tries to put his stamp on it by changing a few things and getting some new players
@@FantasyCouch ok. . I guess this could be a good or bad thing. Don't really know why the guy dropped out. I find out my team tomorrow... Yikes!
omar Breezy how’d it go?
@@omarbreezy9804 was your team good?
Is Sleeper app good on android or just apple?
not sure, but my guess is that's it good. why not download it and do a mock? test it out. i'd be surprised if it sucked
Do you have Tiktok? I think I saw you there.
yeah I don't use it much tho. find it cringey. could be cuz i'm old lol
how do you do a dynasty league on espn or yahoo?
I honestly don't know. We've done keeper leagues on there but for Dynasty I highly recommend you guys migrate to Sleeper... We even had our dynasty draft on espn in 2018 but migrated our league to sleeper the following year. The draft videos are on this channel btw if you want to see them
is there any dynasty leagues with no buy in
yes but not many. these are mostly for kids or casual players. dynasty is geared more towards the hardcore fantasy enthusiasts and experienced people
We do a cap in dynasty
What app do u use
sleeper. we used it for our 2020 rookie draft czcams.com/video/SIAG2coFU1s/video.html and 2020 superflex dynasty startup czcams.com/video/_52KgZaS2jo/video.html
It sounds complicated but i may try it to see if it is any fun
it's for more hardcore players. if you've only played fantasy football for 1-2 years, then this not for you. but if you love fantasy football and want more and are ready for a change, then this is definitely for you!
@@FantasyCouch i got the money in my hand right now.
if you need help finding people to play with feel free to join our facebook group fb.com/groups/fantasycouch and/or discord discord.gg/wsn7xX
On sleeper they will let you change how long players can be on a taxi squad
yup for sure! We had our rookie dynasty draft on sleeper and I filmed it. If you want to watch: czcams.com/video/sDNeggxGdpQ/video.html
How do you make a dynasty league in ESPN
I'm a n00b I need help
get off espn. get on sleeper app. thank me later
@@FantasyCouch I would but it won't work for me and my friends play on ESPN
I need a league!!!
lots of people dying to play and compete in my facebook group facebook.com/groups/fantasycouch/ post there
@@FantasyCouch I cant seem to find the people looking for groups on there.
Should i still go CMC at #1?
yes!
Would prefer Dalvin Cook personally.

@@vinayp4445 sup my friend. first of all, that's actually a dynasty league (when you keep a vast majority of your players). A keeper league is when you only keep like 1-5 players from last year's team. Next, I would switch to sleeper app. They have a an app, and the website is sleeper.app ... it's pretty much the best and easiest for dynasty leagues... especially if you and your league mates are on mobile devices a lot. Then you want to setup a 5-round rookie draft... you should be able to figure it out. It might also make sense to add 5 taxi spots to store rookies or just add 5 more roster spots... that's completely up to you tho. Should be able to figure it out. If not, join my facebook group and I'll connect you with some sleeper/dynasty pros who have much more experience with being a dynasty commish fb.com/groups/fantasycouch
@@vinayp4445 dynasty leagues suck on espn. from doing a quick google search, it appears you can not do a rookie draft on there. Either switch to sleeper (what I recommend), or do an offline draft, which isn't too hard since it's only 5 rounds max. You can even have the rookie draft on a sleeper draft board (like a mock draft)... or do it completely manually... then enter the data manually to your espn league.
Where to draft T Hill? Got him in the 7th in a 10 team league and in the 5th in a 12 team
When you draft Tyreek Hill, expect him to be suspended 6-8 games so you won't be disappointed. Round 5 or 6 in a 12-team league is good (round 4 = absolute earliest, but I wouldn't). Round 7 is absolutely amazing in a 10 teamer
At 12:22 is that plain Jane
Where is the new content my man?
been taking a break. just did a new podcast episode on the 2nd channel last night czcams.com/video/m0HImi_fq24/video.html
My draft is in 40 minutes
This presentation has a lot of energy but someone who is clearly new to dynasty doesn't have the experience to share good advice. Some of the points made were flat out wrong. Too many to correct here.
I think one of the main reasons you're getting that vibe is that fantasy, especially dynasty, is changing dramatically. This video is kind of old. I've also done a lot of dynasty content since then and it's a lot different & evolved
@@FantasyCouch I started playing dynasty in 1995. Some things have evolved but the core values of playing dynasty remain intact.
