What are some common drafting mistakes made by first-time fantasy football owners?

I think not being informed is probably mistake number one in fantasy football drafting. You want to know who is the starting running back for each team, and maybe someone's going to take a guy who got cut or is a backup or is out of the league. Another common mistake is with injury concerns. If someone's really hurt, and they're going to miss five weeks, you often see the first-time fantasy football player, who doesn't really know everything, drafting that injured player. Another strategy mistake, I think, is someone that takes a quarterback or kickers and team defenses, particularly, too early in the draft. They want to get all their positions filled. It's really not necessary to take them in the first few rounds of the fantasy football draft.
