Fantasy Football Draft Strategy

First, schedule your draft for as close to the regular season kick off as possible.  While important in every sport, the likelihood of injuries is even greater in football.  As long as you’re on top of your injury reports, then this will most likely be an advantage to you while there’s bound to be a few of the schmucks in your league that are still clueless to the latest injury news.

Next, prepare for your draft based on the scoring categories in your league.  Go through everything and see what stat categories are worth the most points and also have the scarcest amount of talent.     For instance, you might see that receptions end up being worth a ton of points for players that catch over 60 or 70 balls a year and you notice that only a small handful of tight ends usually meet this level of performance on a consistent basis while there’s 20 or more wide receivers that catch that many balls.  Don’t miss out on one of those top level tight ends by selecting a wide receiver when there’s still plenty more WR’s available and only one top level TE left available.  While this shouldn’t be the sole factor in determining your draft selections, it should be in the forefront of your mind to ensure your are drafting some of the safest bests to score points in those categories for each roster position.

Lastly, take your time reading through all of our fantasy draft strategy articles.  While there will be a ton of 2012 fantasy football draft strategy content coming out from us in the next several months, our current articles will give you a solid foundation on developing a successful fantasy draft strategy to help you navigate your way to a fantasy championship.  After all, without a rock solid draft, your chances of going all the way are slim to none.  Give yourself an advantage from the beginning.
