The Fantasy Sensei says, look at who your opponents have on their roster, if you employ the wait-to-take-a-quarterback strategy. For example, let's say The Sensei has the eighth pick in a 12 team draft, and we are in the seventh round, and The Sensei notices that teams 9, 10, 11, and 12 all have their starting quarterback already, and there are four quarterbacks left that I consider of equal value. Well...in this situation, what The Sensei would do is, take another position instead with that seventh round pick, and play the odds that teams 9 through 12 (since they already have a starting quarterback) are not all also going to take their back up quarterback before it comes back around to me in round 8. And then, in round 8, that's when The Sensei instead will take one of the four quarterbacks I was considering in round 7.
The Fantasy Sensei says, take a kicker in the second to last round, not the last round. You'll get a much
better kicker then you would've gotten in the last round, and the player that
you would've taken in the second to last round instead of the kicker, 9 times out of
10 is still available in the last round.
Or another shrewd bit of fantasy
management, is not to take a kicker if you have a draft earlier in the preseason, and then pick
one up through waivers the week before the season starts. A lot can happen between August and when the season starts, so sometimes it behooves you more to take that extra skill player. Remember, in BestFantasyFootballLeague.com leagues, waivers process every Thursday during the
preseason. However, if you do decide to employ this strategy, just make sure you
put enough kickers in your waiver choices before week one so that you actually
get one. Because while we run CLICK HERE TO KEEP READING!
Why drafting by ADP or average is
still the best strategy in Fantasy Football.
You've been there before, the ADP
says you should be drafting that wide receiver but your gut and your emotions
tell you to reach for that running back. He might be on your favorite team, he
had a great season last year, and reaching for that pick could make you the hero
in your league. David Johnson owners in 2016 would agree, as many drafters
reached for him well before his ADP and were handsomely rewarded. There are
thousands of different strategies in fantasy and some will definitely prove to
be more successful then drafting by ADP. But the problem lies in the probability
of hitting the correct strategy for that particular year. Remember the ZeroRB
strategy that worked so great in 2015. Not so much in 2016. One strategy that
will hold true as a good strategy year after year is the law of averages, or
average decision making - ADP.
