1. More than just Drafting
No matter how much preparation you do for your draft, throughout the season just sticking to your draft picks is not enough. Make sure you make moves through waivers, free agency, and trades. This is what will really lead you to the championship.
2. Take QB’s Later
Quarterbacks are taken way to high in normal fantasy leagues. Don’t be the guy who fires on Patrick Mahomes in the second or third round. You can always find great value in picks in the middle or late rounds. For example, in 2019 Lamar Jackson was taken in average in the 10th-12th round and he was a record-breaking MVP. Wait on quarterbacks.
3. Prioritize RB’s
Draft RB’s early, the top 25 RB’s will be gone in the draft extremely quick. You don’t want to focus on other positions and end up with a bunch of RB3’s.
4. Focus on Need
Pick your team based on need, just because RB’s are the most important position in fantasy football doesn’t mean you should stack your team with 15 of them. Pick based on the position you need. It’s never fun being stuck with the worst at a position. Be eager to jump on good players.
5. Fame isn’t Everything
Don’t pick based on name only. Many people make the mistake of drafting players because they’re more famous than another. OBJ is not a good value in the second round. Le’Veon Bell is not a second-round pick. Pick based on last years production and this year’s projection. Do your research and find more valuable but maybe less famous players.
6. ZZZ…
Spend late round picks on fliers. Which means, look for sleepers in the last few rounds! Players that most don’t expect to do well, but you may have a hunch that they’re going to have a great season. This can make or break a draft.
7. Know the ADP of Players
ADP stands for Average Draft Position. You want to make sure that you are picking players at the right place. You don’t want to end up picking an eighth-round pick in the fourth round. Know the players well and know when to pick them.
8. Defense and Kickers
Defense and kickers should be your last two picks. Period.
9. Practice. Practice. Practice.
If you want to do well in your drafts make sure you practice by doing mock drafts. Do them all the time, especially when we get close to draft season. Do them whenever you have down time. Practice won’t make perfect, but it can sure make a dang good draft.
10. Branch Out a Bit
Don’t pick players from one team or just from your favorite team. Although it may be tempting to focus on your favorite team it will do your fantasy team no good. If your team has a bad week your fantasy team has a bad week too. So, if you must pick players from a certain team keep the maximum of three per team.
11. Bonus!
Listen to podcasts, read articles and do your
research. Our podcast will be coming out soon, there are also some other good fantasy
football podcasts on of my favorites being “The Fantasy Footballers”. If you
focus on research given to you by us and others it will give you the best chance
to win your championship.
