Jim,
I don't know that I entirely agree with you there. My strategy wouldn't have been any different before or after. RB's are by far the most valuable position, so starting 2 good ones if you can is certainly the way to go (unless your BDSC with Moss, Boston, etc
).
I say this as a team who's strength is the 2 back set. If anything, allowing the flex lineups will hurt me more than it would help me since some teams are seriously WEAK at RB.
I like flex because it allows you to play to your strentgths, and somewhat deemphasizes the value of RB's since you have other options.
If teams want to stick with a 2 RB set, thats fine by me. I'm built for that. I would like to see us allow the 2WR 2TE set however.
Starting a TE over a WR is probably only worthwhile for bye week fillins, but that makes more sense than a waiver wire pickup to me.
Look at the Undead, with 3 WR's on bye week 10, at least the extra TE would give them another option without decimating their team with waiver pickups and cuts, or required trades.
How about that as a compromise folks?
