If you were starting a new 8 team league, what roster settings do you think would work best?

I'm thinking either half or full PPR. 2QB, 2WR, 2FLEX, TE, DST, and K.

Debating going 3WR instead of 2 but not sure if thats too much with 2FLEX spots already.

I play in a 16-team, .5 PPR league going for my 10th season this year. We use QB-RB-WR-WR-RB/WR-WR/TE-RB/WR/TE. 9 starters, 3 bench spots. This amounts to 192 rostered players.

If I were to play in a 8 team league, I'd like roughly the same amount of players rostered. I'd not make TE obligatory anyway, it just became dumb IMO. Not enough starters to justify a position on its own. The same happened to FB and the fantasy world adapted just fine.

Maybe it would look like this:

QB QB RB RB RB/WR WR WR WR WR WR/TE K D/ST 6-8 bench spots maybe

Smaller if you want more movement in the waiver instead of stashing. This amounts to 144-160 rostered players.
