Fantasy Football Draft Mistakes To Avoid
Participating in a fantasy football draft
can be extremely difficult if you think about things too much. There is so much
that can go wrong, and players can get hurt or underperform, and all that time
you wasted preparing is down the drain. While drafting is never going to be an
exact science, there are some tips to remember in 2012 to make sure your
fantasy football drafts ends up going as smoothly as possible. Avoid taking a defense or kicker early in
the draft. There are so many options out there for kickers and team defenses
that it just makes no sense to waste an early pick on them. Not only are there
a lot of choices, but the best kickers in defenses seem to change every single
year. No matter how much you prepare for draft, there always be a breakout star
or two that will end up being on the waiver wire undrafted. Another thing that many people fall for is the
advice of magazines dedicated to a fantasy football draft. With deadlines to
meet, it is nearly impossible for a magazine to provide any kind of latest
information on who is healthy and who is not. There are so many options online
that just makes no sense to rely on old media such as a magazine. Everyone loves a sleeper, but at the same
time there's something to be said about taking the sure thing as well. In a
fantasy football draft, reaching for a sleeper makes that sleeper not a sleeper
anymore. That just makes him overrated. Have a list of your personal sleepers
going into your draft, but make sure that you do not panic and draft them too
early or you will mess up your entire strategy. Finally, the best advice is to just be
prepared for anything. A fantasy football draft can't be predicted, so you have
to act on the fly if the players you want and of being taken quicker than you
thought. The last thing you want to do is be stuck with making a panic pick
simply because you did not foresee a way that your player would be unavailable.
If you spend time pre-draft on anything at all, make it a list that has your
backup plans in case your player ends up no longer being there. This will make
your draft go much smoother and you will not end up making a panic pick. To see a Fanduel review click the link.
