  1. Top Draft Strategies for Fantasy Sports Beginners

  2. Fantasy football is a fantastic way to stay connected with friends while enjoying the excitement of the NFL season. However, the real fun lies in outsmarting your friends and winning the league. Here’s a guide to help you dominate your fantasy football draft.

  3. 1. Know Your League Rules Understanding your league’s rules is crucial. Different leagues have different scoring systems and roster requirements. For instance, rushing yards typically score more points than passing yards, making quarterbacks who can run, like Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson, more valuable. Check if your league has a point-per-reception (PPR) system. Players like Diontae Johnson become more valuable in PPR leagues due to their high number of receptions. Other factors, such as whether your league includes an injured reserve (IR) spot or allows suspended players in the IR spot, can influence your draft strategy.

  4. 2. Understand Your Needs The demand for certain positions varies depending on your league’s setup. In one- quarterback leagues, top quarterbacks like Mahomes and Allen are valuable but not as crucial as in two-quarterback leagues, where they might be the first picks. The number of required starting wide receivers also significantly impacts draft strategy. Leagues with more starting receiver spots increase the demand for quality receivers. Plan your draft strategy accordingly, ensuring you prioritize positions based on your league’s requirements.

  5. 3. Use Different Draft Rankings Drafting becomes easier when you follow unique rankings rather than the standard ones provided by your platform. This can help you find value where others might not. For instance, if most players in your league use ESPN’s rankings, try using Yahoo’s or custom rankings from a reputable fantasy football site. 4. Identify Gaps in Rankings Each platform ranks players differently. Identifying these discrepancies can provide a strategic advantage. For example, if Joe Burrow is ranked higher on one platform than another, you can plan to draft him at a value point that others might overlook.

  6. 5. Create Tiers Ranking players is helpful, but creating tiers is even better. Tiers group players of similar value together. This helps you make quick decisions under pressure. If you see a big drop- off in talent after a particular player, you’ll know to draft that player sooner rather than waiting. 6. Draft a Variety of Positions Early While it’s essential to draft top talent, having a balanced team is crucial. Aim to draft a mix of positions in the early rounds. For example, drafting a top wide receiver, running back, quarterback, and tight end in the first four rounds can give you a strong foundation.

  7. 7. Stock Up on Wide Receivers 25 Wide receivers are typically more consistent and have higher scoring potential in flex spots compared to mid-tier running backs. Ensure that at least half of your first ten picks are wide receivers to build depth at this crucial position. 20 15 8. Target High-Upside Players 10 While consistency is important, especially in the early rounds, targeting players with high upside can be the key to winning your league. Players like Darren Waller or Justin Fields, who have the potential to be top scorers at their positions, can provide significant value in later rounds. 5 0 Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 Item 5

  8. 9. Avoid Mediocrity on Your Bench Your bench should be filled with players who have the potential to become stars, not just those who are “fine.” Aim for high-upside players who might become starters as the season progresses. Avoid drafting too many “safe” players who don’t have the potential to significantly outperform their draft position. 10. Have Fun and Engage with Your League Fantasy football is meant to be fun. Engage in your league’s group chat, talk trash, and enjoy the camaraderie. When drafting, choose players you like or have a personal connection to as tiebreakers. This can make the experience more enjoyable and keep you invested throughout the season.
