How should I select my players for my fantasy football team?
When selecting your fantasy football players, I think you ought to look for value. That takes a little bit of practice. Basically, you want to look for players that are unnecessarily undervalued. If there are a lot of famous players in your league that get drafted really high, that leaves some unknown players - maybe they've played for a bad team or a not-so-famous team. You can't worry about who's famous or who's on the highlights, or who does what. You just have to worry about their statistics. I think you want to focus on that when drafting a team. It's also good to make a loose plan of what you want to do on draft day before the draft and then stick to it. I think the best thing you can do is be informed. You can know the players inside and out, and that way when they come up, when you're trying to decide between a couple of players, you'll already know which guys you're targeting. It's always good to have a list of players and that way you'll be prepared on draft day to make a good selection for your fantasy football team. In terms of draft strategy, I think it's good to wait, in general, on quarterbacks and tight ends, and kickers and defenses even later. The reason for that is position scarcity. It's a little complicated, but basically, you only need one starting quarterback, and there are 32 in the league. There are only 12 teams in your fantasy football league. It's really easy to find a couple of good starting quarterbacks during the draft. You can wait until the middle of your draft and still find a couple of good ones. I find that's the same for tight ends. That's not the same for running backs and wide receivers because you have to start more of those - you have to start two running backs and three wide receivers. I think that's why I like to load up on those positions at the beginning of every fantasy football draft.
