NOTE: Uncle Max’s annual NFL preview is coming next week!
It’s that time of the year again—time for fantasy football drafts! Just some quick suggestions from a fantasy football draft veteran of two decades:
—Go in this order of positional importance: QB, WR, RB, TE, DEF, K. If you’re doing IDPs, seriously consider getting a life.
—With the exception of two-quarterback leagues, two are better than one. Don’t be afraid to trade a very good QB for two good wideouts and/or a promise to housesit your place if you have a late-fall vacation.
—Asking every few days before the draft if it’s a “snake’” draft is a good way to guarantee yourself the least-comfortable chair there.
—Don’t outsmart yourself—spend five minutes the morning of the draft deciding what you want to do instead of five days deciding between a rookie blocking tight-end or a veteran H-back.
—Align your bye-weeks accordingly OR have them all on one week to forfeit that matchup, similar to “shooting the moon” in hearts.
—When in doubt, load up on wide receivers, have two starting quarterbacks on your roster, and offer to tip the delivery guy.
