Fitz’s Fantasy Football Draft Cheat Sheet
Ready to elevate your game? Here are three core principles to guide you through your draft:
1. Adapt Your Strategy Based on WR Requirements
The number of wide receivers (WRs) you must start each week is crucial. If your league mandates starting just two WRs, you’ll have more flexibility to choose between running backs (RBs) and WRs in the draft’s early rounds, depending on value. Conversely, if you’re required to start three WRs, consider this position a priority—**aiming to secure dominant WRs early can give you a competitive edge.**
2. Embrace the Rookies
Each draft season is an opportunity to snag **high-upside rookies** at a discount—this year is no exception! With a stellar crop of rookie running backs entering the league, seize the chance to add these players to your roster. Often overlooked due to inexperience, **rookies with early-round draft capital** are historically solid fantasy picks.
3. Chase the Upside
Your strategy should focus on drafting players with high ceilings. Even if they come with lower floors, the potential rewards can outweigh the risks. Sure, you might strike out on a few—**that’s the beauty of the waiver wire!** Invest in players who have a plausible path to significant fantasy outcomes.
