Just Wait: In a 5×5 roto, which position(s) would you feel comfortable filling a starter in the last few rounds, and with which player(s)? 1B seems to be very deep

Justin Mason: I think when we talk about positional scarcity it really depends on how deep of a league we are talking. For instance, SS is loaded, but in a deeper league, it falls off pretty quickly. 1B is is probably the easiest to get later on for sure. I have an article coming out on Fantasy Pros that I finished last night that breaks down my thoughts on each position for shallower and deeper formats.

BlueJayMatt: 3B is weak this year, outside of the top 6-8 guys – how do you strategize to account for this during the draft?

Justin Mason: I think it is definitely weaker in the middle than at the top or in the back of the draft, but honestly it is not as bad as second base. I am hoping to leave my draft with an elite guy but if I don’t I have found myself just waiting and taking one of the high upside young guys later like Josh Jung and Jordan Walker.
