How To Create Fantasy Football Draft Rankings

By Wendy Thomas


When choosing who to draft in fantasy football there are various variables: the best player, the position, what individuals you've chosen already, who's your competition most likely to draft.

In early rounds you need to target obtaining the most value by selecting the best overall player. Don't be concerned about getting too many running backs or wide receivers. Simply draft the best available player. There's a couple of limitations on this however, it's not just who may have the most fantasy points. You will want to look at all the available players and think about exactly who will get selected next. You want to make positive you're selecting the best player based not just who's remaining, but who'll be remaining. For example, if Calvin Johnson is the best player left to draft in round 1, but Larry Fitzgerald should be available in the 3rd round and he's only 10 points worse than CJ you should wait and select Larry Fitzgerald. Right now there is an extremely great fantasy football tool that tells you just who to pick for fantasy.

During later rounds who to draft gets more difficult. You actually must take into account your team's composition, plus the upside potential from your upcoming pick. You ought to be absolutely sure you're lowering your team's risk while increasing your upside. And make sure you don't waste any draft picks.

The fastest way to waste a draft choice, would be to draft a player that will would never start on your squad. For instance, when during the early rounds you drafted 2 great running backs, like Jamaal Charles and C.J. Spiller. In that case don't pick a persistently common running back during future rounds, for instance Matt Forte. There isn't any reason! Make sure you pick running backs with absolutely nothing but upside and handcuff your team's excellent backs. The purpose is, the only way the persistently average RB starts more than just bye weeks is if one of your wonderful RBs becomes injured. Think about this, when will you ever start Matt Forte over either of your starting running backs? So you should just simply grab the backups (this is whats called handcuffing) in much later rounds and start that player in case your great running backs becomes wounded.

The benefit between the backup and the average running back is going to be trivial. If Ben Tate, or Bryce Brown actually received the starting job, I might start either of them above Forte any day of the week. And if you select RBs with upside, that means should they explode you now have an extremely important trade asset or a player spot start during bad matchups. Keep this in mind any time drafting your squad.

There are many factors to consider when deciding who to draft in fantasy football. It's much less straight forward than you might think. And also while you might think it's far too difficult or a lot to take into account, in the end you have to do this to be able to stay competitive. If you don't look at your draft that deeply, just remember your opponents are. So unless you do it, you are going to be at an incredible disadvantage. Just invest some time drafting your team, take into account all of the factors, and do the best you can. And above all elese make sure you have a ball!
