ndirish1978 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Mods feel free to move this to off the wall. Hoping I can get some help from people who enjoy fantasy football to advise me on a website where I can find a cheatsheet. I jumped into a buddy's league as a favor after someone dropped out last minute and they were on the verge of cancelled rather than having an odd number. I'm not a FF savant - I follow the Bills as closely as the compression sleeve on Stevenson's leg but I don't care about parsing stats for most other teams other than watching them before we play them. Anything you could send me would be greatly appreciated as I am now pairing ignorance with a fairly unhealthy competitive drive. Thanks board! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forward Progress Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Sign up for The Athletic. They have a cheat sheet that downloads into Excel that works really well. Then you can enjoy The Athletic all year - it’s the only sports content that I’m willing to pay for. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Fantasy leagues are rarely won on draft day. It’s the waiver wire that separates the men from boys. I’m teasing a little. You can find all kinda rankings, it depends on the league. What site is it on? Is it a ppr league? Idp? All those factor into rankings by round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

716er Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Sort by rank when you draft Don’t make any off the wall picks You’ll win or lose fantasy football in free agency, anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Just focus on filling out your roster with good players. Every online platform will already have players ranked, so just generally follow the existing ranking system. It's ok to take multiple running backs and receivers in a row because that's the bulk of your team. A rookie mistake is taking a QB too soon. QB's score a lot of fantasy points, but there are a lot of QB's that can get you good points. Running back gets drafted early because there are a few elite guys and then a huge dropoff of production, so you want to get at least one good running back if you can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used a multitude of sources, and will always check "rotoworld" (search the player I'm about to draft to make sure he isn't injured or something else newsworthy). But here is the source I rely on: https://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/mock-draft/results You can pick between PPR or not. it's a mock draft compilation, and also has position rankings. I find it very helpful for planning when to take a player in later rounds and overall thoughts. Best ones are those without a lot of CPU picks, so you can get an idea on how others value certain players. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloaggie Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Get your RBs early. Mocks seem to have plenty of WRs late, but good RB picks seem hard to come by this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uninja Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Is your league PPR or standard scoring? That affects drafting SIGNIFICANTLY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 What site are you all using? NFL, ESPN, Yahoo, CBS? Is it a PPR league (Point Per Reception)? What's the scoring breakdown for your QB's? That can change strategies a bit. I've been in some where it's more shifted to the other skill positions. The big names that come to mind which you hear on NFL broadcasts and TV shows are always a good place to start. Your first round pick needs to be a hit so the Derrick Henry's, Dalvin Cook's, Josh Allen's, Aaron Rodgers', Patrick Mahomes', of the world are where to look. Guys basically guaranteed to put up numbers every week. Do the same thing every round following. Once you get to the middle to late rounds you just have to have a bit of luck on your side. Watch the bye weeks as well. You don't want to have to take an L because there's a week where 3/4 of your team aren't playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Pick high floor players on good offenses with good QB plays, especially in rounds 1-5, if you want to swing and miss, do it late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
