![]() ![]() You can see the likely players in the list up ahead and use it to help predict what other managers are going to do with their picks You can get an idea of how your league mates may be drafting.If you don’t have a set of rankings you trust or you’re getting frazzled by how quickly the draft is moving, they shouldn’t be a million miles off and you can use them to help guide you to the players you like. ![]() This list is the opinion of people using that platform, it is not gospel and your draft will not follow this order. That order will be different across different platforms and will either be based on the rankings created by that site, or the Average Draft Position (ADP) of others that have drafted before you. When you’re drafting, there will be a list of suggested players (usually filterable by position) in order of who is the ‘best’ player still available. Taking the first Quarterback in round one therefore doesn’t give you a significant advantage over those who wait and take a Quarterback later. The highest scorers in fantasy football are usually Quarterbacks, but the difference between the highest scoring Quarterback and the 5th highest scoring Quarterback is a lot less than the difference between the highest scoring Running back and the 5th highest scoring Running Back. So we need some principles and strategies to help guide us through. Guess what? Your league mates are doing the same and they’re going to take players that you wanted. The concept is simple, you draft the players that you think will score you the most points. Side Note: you may hear ‘the turn’ which refers to the ends of the draft order where the snake ‘turns’ and comes back the other way. This is designed to provide balance and not give manager one an unfair advantage. If you picture a grid with 12 columns, the snake goes left to right, then right to left, then left to right, then right to left, etc. However this time, you ‘snake’ back around through the teams so whoever picked last in the first round will pick first in the next round. When you hit the last manager and they take their pick, the next round of the draft starts and you go again. Once a player is selected, they’re off the ‘draft board’ and no-one else can take that player. When the draft starts, the manager with the first pick takes the player they want, then the second manager takes the player they want, and so on. With these drafts, there will be a draft order (which may be determined by previous season results, randomised pre-draft, or some other extravagant method of picking the order) and a time limit for each pick (could be as little as 30 seconds or 60 seconds). We’ll cover different types of drafts and strategies later but for now, we’ll hit on the most common type of draft – a snake draft with a timer. Most platforms let you do it from their app or from a desktop site. This will be a set date and time, and either be at a location where you all gather together or (as is more common these days) it will be online. ![]() Now you can’t just pick whatever players you like the look of and start building your team, you have to draft against your league mates. It’s the foundation of your team and the center of everything you’ll do from here on, so it’s important to understand what goes on. The first part of the fantasy football journey for any new team or league is the draft. You want to hear food for thought? I mean depending on how you feel about the QB position I could really see your team benefitting from taking Mahomes w/ your 1st pick? Obviously, to some degree, you should hope to have players listed in tiers It's one thing to get stuck w/ both DK and Deebo quite another IF Jacobs is still available (tbh) I'd even consider going one further and including the Bears D to get drafted after having accounted for all your starter positions Biggest thing is understanding that if you prioritize ranking every rookie RB for instance in your draft? Chances are you will miss out on every rookie WR etc.Draft With Us On Underdog! Use Promo-Code: YARDSPER for a free $25 when you deposit! Yards Per Fantasy University: Drafting ![]()
