Fantasy Football Draft Strategies

The TLDR version goes like this, everyone else please see the articles below. Draft at least 3 running backs and 4 wide receivers before the draft is complete. Look for quarterbacks in the middle rounds then draft a tight end after you have RB, WR and QB spoken for. With your first pick a general rule of thumb that works in most leagues is to draft one of the top-5 running backs followed by one of the top-5 wide receivers. Obviously I recommend using our cheat sheets.

You MUST have a cheat sheet customized to your league settings. When you're on the clock you can't waste time fumbling for information to help guide you toward the right pick. Our cheat sheets have all the important information in a single row. I developed our cheat sheets for myself and use it to this day.

Knowledge is power and preparation is key. The articles below will help new comers and vets get one step closer to that league championship.

August 21, 2015 by Kurt Turner

Due to an early run on the quarterback position, common in 1 and 2 QB leagues, I deployed a late round quarterback draft strategy. It’s the perfect PPR draft strategy with a late round quarterback philosophy. You’ll need to ignore the early run and stock up on the other skill positions. If this happens in […]

Which NFL Rookies Should You Target In Your Draft?

August 21, 2015 by Pete Karagianis

Hitting the nail right on the head. It always feels good, doesn’t it? That resonating smack of hammer on metal, the satisfying sink of the pin into the wood… ah. The sound and sensation of a job well done. Which is, more or less, what my 2014 version of rookie targets was able to achieve. […]
