Fantasy Advice?

[vlad]

Hi Zoners,

My fantasy draft is tonight, and I'm just now doing prep for it. Any sleepers or tips from my favorite crew?

Note I'm in the Northeast and playing people overseas also - so I'm rep'ing TX strong! Last year's champs, hoping to keep the streak going. thanks!

What pick do you have?

I have the 2nd pick in a 12 team league. We then do a snake draft where the order flips every other round.

Le'veon Bell is probably your pick, unless for some reason David Johnson isn't the top pick, or Zeke's suspension gets drastically reduced in the next few hours before your draft. Just note, there is some risk with him, since he has not participated in Steelers camp all summer. Stay away from players with injury histories, they'll let you down. Have a draft board and stick to it, don't panic if there is a run on certain positions. If you pass more talented players, you'll likely regret it.

Odds are your second pick *should* be a WR, QBs typically get over drafted and there often is not much of a difference between them, but that some what depends on scoring rules.

Also, may be too late for you to adjust, but TDs are king. Get players that score TDs. That includes goal line backs and redzone targets at WR and TE. If they guy's yardage is low, but the TDs are high, target him when most stars are taken.
