I joined a fantasy football leauge and i am wondering what order positions i should draft. Like Rb \ Qb / Wr

Question

thanks

Answer 1

RB, WR, RB, WR, QB

Kickers and defense late and last.

Answer 2

1st thing is a running back. then pick a qb be4 all good ones go out and then pick ur wide recievers. dont worry about tight ends (usually not a huge gap btwn top and bottom tight ends) and kickers should be in the very last round and defense should be in the second to the last round.

Hi Joe,

How you decide which position to target really depends on where you pick and how your cheat sheet is configured. One of the best ways to configure your sheets is by tier-based rankings, which is relatively simple and very effective. First, configure your player rankings as you normally would for each fantasy position (QBs, RBs, WRs, etc), then divide each positional sheet into groups of similar projected fantasy point output (called tiers).

Tiers can have any number of players and each tier can be completely different. For instance, on my QB sheet I have Brady and Manning #1 and #2 overall AND they're in their own tier. They are in their own tier because I think they will have similar fantasy point output and I don't think any other players will reach their level. My 2nd QB tier has 8 players because I feel that those 8 players will accumulate similar points, but not enough to warrant 1st-tier placement. Do this for each fantasy position. Once your tiers are finished, you use them to decide which position to target when your turn to pick arrives.

Scenario:

Let's say that you pick 3rd, it's Round 2, and you picked a RB in round 1. Your turn to pick arrives, you look at your cheat sheet and see that all the RBs from your first two tiers are gone, but there are 8 RBs remaining in your third tier. You look at your WR rankings and notice that 2 WRs remain in your second tier. What do you do?

Because there are 8 RBs remaining in your 3rd-tier, you KNOW that one of them will be available when your pick arrives in the third round, so the correct move to make is to pick one of the WRs in the second tier, then grab a RB from your 3rd-tier the next time you pick. Your tier-based rankings helped you here because instead of grabbing that RB, you got create value for the WR and were still able to get a RB of similar value in round 3.

Tier-based rankings it the best way to draft. I personally don't have any write-ups on tier-based rankings but you can do a Google search to get some additional information. I also suggest not drafting a K or  DEF if you don't have to.  The logic behind this strategy is outlined in the second link in my source list.  

If you decide to create your own cheat sheets, check out my website in my source list.  On my website you can create your own player rankings using drag and drop, then generate a printable cheat sheet to take to your fantasy draft.  It's free.

Good luck.

Answer 4

I guess it matters what type of league you're in, but I'd go...RB, RB, WR, QB, RB, WR and so on. I wouldn't pick a TE, DEF or K until the last three rounds. That is, unless you're set on grabbing Gates. He's a TE with WR value. Good luck!
