Fantasy Football Draft Guide

I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I know a thing or two about drafting a near perfect team in fantasy football...

Rule #1 Do your homework...Read up on reciever quarterback relationships, make sure you know about all injuries, and make sure your guy has a starting spot.

Rule #2 When drafting a runningback make sure you look at his offensive line's ranking, typically the higher the offensive line rating the better the runningback will be.

Rule #3 Find out your league's scoring system and you first pick should be the position that can score the most points which is typically the runningback in most leagues, but every know and then there is a league where the quarterback can score the same amount as the runningback so make sure to do your homework.

Rule #4 When drafting a wide reciever, try to draft a reciever-quarterback combo, which means draft recievers and quarterbacks from the same team...for example, Marc Bulger and Torry Holt

Rule #5 NEVER...NEVER EVER second guess yourself, always go with your first instinct, second guessing usually results in bad moves.

Rule #6 This is for leagues with a time limit during their draft. Make sure you prepare a couple rounds ahead and also have a backup plan because if your not prepared or your guy gets drafted and you don't have another guy to draft your time could run out.

Rule #7 Don't be afraid to take a risk, sleeper picks (if you have studied up on them enough) can always benifit you and can sometimes turn out to make or break your season.

Rule #8 It's okay to draft a high profile tight ends before drafting any recievers. In such a case last year I drafted Antonio Gates before any recievers and he was among the top recievers. Only do this with high proifle tight ends though such as A. Gates, T. Gonzalez, and A. Crumpler. Also, don't forget to try and pair up your tight ends with your quarterback.

Rule #9 Defenses and Kickers are a very unimportant aspect your team, pick them as late as possible, no questions asked.

Rule #10 Try to stray away from picking favorite players or favorite team players unless they could really benifit your team.
