Fantasy fans who are committed players and want to have a long-term squad are probably already playing in a dynasty league. And if you’re not, you might want to give it a try with a startup draft. If you’re unaware, dynasty leagues have an initial draft that encompasses the entire NFL. Rosters are larger (20-plus players) and you have the same team every year going forward. After the initial startup, the yearly drafts include rookies only, though some leagues incorporate free agents.
In an effort to give you insights into how your dynasty draft might look, let’s check out the results of the recent rookies-only draft in the Dirt Dynasty League, which is featured on my SiriusXM show, Fantasy Dirt (Monday-Friday, 2-4 p.m. ET on Sirius 87, XM 210). The league, which is made up of friends and industry folks, features a full-point PPR format with a starting lineup of one quarterback, two running backs, three wideouts, one tight end, four flexes (RB/WR/TE), a kicker and a defense.
