Welcome to TimersSports
We are literally just a week away from fantasy drafts (least the start of them.) Anyways , today we will dig into how to maximize your draft picks with strategies. Maximizing your draft picks is always an top priority when draft day comes around. It doesn't matter , if it round 1 or round 14. Always max out the potential for your squad.
Strategies:
-Stacking up on rbs and Wrs:
In recent years , stacking your team with backs and wide outs seems to be the common trend among owners. Rightfully so , as the pool of running backs and wide receivers are thin after the 7th round. Depending on your targets and objectives for the draft, but overall this should be the main draft strategy (least for the first two rounds).
-Where to Draft your starting Quarterback:
This is arguably the most debated discussion when it comes to drafting positions. Roughly 50% will target quarterbacks early on. While the other half will target quarterbacks 5th round and beyond. Honestly you really won't know which side of the draft strategy you are on until the draft actually starts. Mainly because all the variables took into consideration. Heck last year, I was set on drafting Aaron Rodgers in Round 3. But ended up selecting Jimmy Graham instead. While selecting Andrew Luck in Round 6. Both ended up being nice value picks over what I would have got (if say I selected Rodgers and a random Tight End).
-Underrated or overlooked value:
Believe it or not , I have won majority of my league championships over the years by stacking up on underrated options. Sounds crazy, but in all honestly this what wins championships sometimes. Would I select my entire squad like this? No of course not. After drafting your early studs , its always an stellar idea to look for underrated options. Especially if the price (or value) is right. A good owner knows how to build a solid team around his superstars ( aka first rounder and second rounders).
-Winging it on draft day:
Okay lets be honest, we all have been guilty of winging it in a draft. Probably because we in a hurry or we just wanted to test out multiple draft strategies. For me it was the second reasoning. I have actually found success in this method over the past few seasons. Would I use this in drafts against my friends , family , and my Twitter peeps? Heck no. Typically I would use to method in unimportant leagues. Mainly because I am a risky drafter at times.
Okay that pretty much it. If your draft is coming up soon , then good luck. I typically don't draft until Mid July. So look out for invitation links to my league in the near feature on Twitter (@MattAleza1).
