Weekly Fantasy Football Guide to Smart Drafting

Are you as much into weekly fantasy football as I am? I live and breathe weekly fantasy football! I am always reading about weekly fantasy football and I enjoy it. I am thankful for this innovation. Fantasy sports allow sports buffs like me to enjoy watching sports and be part of a fantasy game that recreates the experience over and over again. Because I love the weekly fantasy football habit, I want to share with you things that I have learned when it comes to drafting, and these are smart drafting tips, mind you.

When I draft my team, what I do in the preparation stage of a draft is ask myself, how intense and serious do I want to project myself to be? There are some players out there whose attitude is having the desire to win every game all the time. On the other hand, there are some players who like winning, but leaves room for losing a game or two. If you like winning every game then you must have the discipline to research hard before drafting time comes.

Before even making a startup list of the team you want to form, what you need to do is know very well the rules of your league. Always study the rules because different leagues have different scoring systems. Ask yourself, what kind of players will I put on my roster? How many starters do I need for each position? What is the scoring system of my league? Is the league I am on a keeper league? How does free agency work in my league? Is training work applicable? Also, know the timeline and trade deadline so you have your responsibilities covered.

Another thing that you should find out is the kind of competition you have in the league. What are the other owners like? Are they as intense as you in winning? Usually, when I am in the mood for some competition, I always want to play with people who are just as intense as I am about fantasy sports. It boosts the way I feel about winning. Usually, what I have experienced is there are three to four serious players in a league. If it is a keeper league, the number goes much higher. Anyway, keeping in mind the serious players try to assess what they will be getting so that can also be part of your game plan.

Now when you do these bits of research, the fun stuff begins. It is now time to develop a draft strategy which should always be value-based. Go with logic and not just your favorite player.

Weekly Fantasy Football Leagues Tips

Are you part of the weekly fantasy football leagues? Are you obsessed about being the top man in your weekly fantasy football leagues? Follow our advice and you will come out on top of our weekly fantasy football leagues. Plus, we also give you tips on how to enjoy being part of your weekly fantasy football leagues. Good luck!

Tip # 1: Be active in your league. If you give your commitment to the league, you have to see it through the end. Why? It is very inconsiderate that you join a league only to leave the other players in a bind because you could not commit to it. There is nothing more annoying than playing the game with someone missing and that player has drafted good football athletes.

Tip # 2: Be on the lookout for contract year. So what is contract year? Contract year is also known as the contract year bump. In all of the types of fantasy sports, the contract year bump is an important factor, especially in football. It is when a player is at the end of his contract the he shows his best. It is how he dangles his calling card to get a bigger salary. So, if you see a player or a superstar player at the end of his contract, trust that he will be motivated to perform really well.

Tip # 3: The defense is important. When it comes to drafting, you have to get a whole unit. You also have to get backup bench players, especially for your defense.

Tip # 4: Take it easy and have fun. Winning in fantasy football is important, but it is something that you do out of fun (and maybe a little money, which is okay). So, make the most of it. And even if you are committed to winning, do not take the whole deal too seriously. Taking things easy is very important. Do not let your passion for the game get the better of you. Also, avoid trash-talking with your opponents or if someone is doing that, do not take it personally. At the end of the day, it just a game.

Tip # 5: Going with your gut is okay. Although, one thing you have to remember is you also have to do your homework. You should familiarize yourself with the teams, the players, the statistics and the injury reports. Be familiar with the numbers and the history. However, at the end of the day, the decision that you make should also be based on your gut feeling. That gut feeling is sometime the source of pride for fantasy players.
