Tips for fantasy NFL drafts - Rounds 1 & 2
Draft 2 RBs.
Otherwise draft 1 stud WR and 1 RB. Use your tiered draft value sheets to guide you. You need to be confident that you will be able to get a quality second RB late in round 3.
Even consider taking 2 stud WR's. You need to be very confident that 2 quality RBs will be available late 3rd round - early 4th round. Only look at this option if quality RBs are more abundant in a given year or you are playing in a league that traditionally lets quality RBs slip to the fourth round.
Tips for fantasy NFL drafts by round - Rounds 3 & 4
If you already have 2 RBs, take a stud QB and WR. If a stud QB is not available, take 2 WRs or 1 WR & stud TE.
If you drafted a WR in the first 2 rounds, take a RB and stud QB. If a stud QB is not available, take a RB and a WR or stud TE.
Tips for fantasy NFL drafts - Rounds 5 & 6
If you don't have a QB at this point, take a 2nd tier QB and then either a WR or stud TE. Or you could take a WR and then a platoon QB. If you're going to platoon QBs, make sure you have one after the sixth round. Use your tiered draft value sheets to guide you.
If you do already have a QB at this point, then take 2 WRs or take a WR & stud TE. Use your tiered draft value sheets to guide you.
Tips for fantasy drafts by round - Rounds 7 & 8
If you still need a starting WR or platoon QB, take one here along with a reserve RB. Use your tiered draft value sheets as a guide.
