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 6, 2018 by Jacob Trowbridge

One of the toughest parts of any fantasy draft is when you’re on the clock and there are a handful of very similar players on the board you can’t decide between. They’re all going around the same ADP, you have them all ranked closely, and there’s a slim chance any one of them will make […]

July 29, 2018 by Jacob Trowbridge

There’s nothing worse you can say about a player for fantasy football purposes than “he’s boring.” We love talking about the exciting players, the controversial players, and the risky players. But the safe, secure guys? No way. While they may not make for the most tantalizing headlines, if your team is going to win that championship, it […]

2018 Draft Prep: The Case For Drafting Trey Burton

July 21, 2018 by Jacob Trowbridge

Tight end is the most feast or famine position in fantasy football. If you aren’t sipping the froth off a tasty latte, you’re choking down stale coffee grounds. True to form, there seems to be a pretty substantial drop-off at the tight end position after the Big 3 — Gronk, Ertz, and Kelce — and […]

2018 Fantasy Prep: The Case For Drafting Chris Thompson

July 4, 2018 by Jacob Trowbridge

The biggest challenge in this year’s fantasy drafts, like most years, is finding quality running back depth after the first 4 rounds. Looking at the ADP boards, the first round is basically all running backs outside of Antonio Brown and Deandre Hopkins. But once we inch toward the middle rounds, unearthing quality running backs is […]
