In case you missed it, we here at Dynasty League Football have recently extended our partnership with Safe Leagues and commissioner extraordinaire Scott Fish, opening a new set of dynasty leagues that can reward consistent success in a major way.
The DLF Champions Cup leagues are a lot like most other dynasty leagues with flexible lineups, a scoring system that balances positional value and annual payouts to the top teams. One exciting difference is that every three years, the best team pockets a grand. That’s right, a $1,000 payout to the best team, as scored by a unique system.
A league championship earns a team four points, while the runner-up gets two points and the third-place teams nets a single point. Regular-season success is not ignored as the teams with the most points and most wins each earn a point. The team with the most points after three years wins the progressive pot.
When you join a DLF Champions Cup league, you are actually joining a series of four combined leagues. While you won’t be directly competing with any teams from other leagues, the group of 48 dynasty players are battling for the big prize after each three-year stint.
Just look here for more information or to make the leap and join a league today.
DLF Champion Series ADP
Each time I take part in a startup draft, I consult our monthly DLF ADP, but these leagues are a bit different. Not only are they super-flex leagues, but with six-point touchdown passes and a four-point penalty for interceptions, targeting quality signal-callers has never been more important.
Also, these leagues are very tight end heavy. Tight ends earn two points for each reception, compared to a single point for all other players and you can start as many as five of them. I knew they would be a hot commodity.
With this in mind, and with the help of Scott Fish, I have put together ADP specifically for the DLF Champion Series leagues. You can find pre-NFL Draft ADP data here, but the landing spot and draft capital of the class of 2020 greatly impacted their respective value. The below data comes only from dynasty startup drafts held after the recent NFL Draft.
