Creating A Cheat Sheet For Fantasy Football

By Kenney Felton


Now there are a number of guidelines to make note of when designing a fantasy football cheat sheet. Whether you plan on borrowing one or you are building your own, the below guidelines explain the 4 key factors:

1.Have Rankings Broken Out by Position Make sure you have got Position Rankings. You would like to be in a position to quickly see how many RBs, or WRs remain. This is essential primarily later during the draft. Late in the draft you're going to be drafting depending upon need. You might require a QB or perhaps an DEF and it'll become crucial that you have got those and each position broken out on their own. Needing to check through your 1 large cheat sheet for the best draft-able player in a targeted position can be a problem you don't need at draft time.

2.Have Fantasy Football Draft Rankings by Divisions Be sure to take a cheat sheet separated into tiers. This means you'll have to make sure you know where significant drop-offs are within your expectations for players and where they are very close in worth. For instance, say that you think that Matt Forte(ranked at 14) and David Wilson (ranked at 15) are close but both are significantly less valuable than Steven Jackson (ranked 13). You need to make sure that your cheat sheet accounts this. It's important to account for that since you need to be aiming for the lower end of levels instead of the highest part of the tier since that will enable you to wait until later picks to draft players just as valuable as players drafted a round or 2 earlier.

3.You need to have Average Draft Position (ADP) Every good fantasy football cheat sheets must have a projected draft order. This is optional dependent upon where you draft since many web sites have ADP available. However, when you're drafting offline it's extremely important to have this data with you. This inhibits you from taking a player prematurely. For instance, if you feel Drew Brees is a top ten player but he's drafted 22nd overall, you should hold off until round 3 to pick him. Not accounting for that is a faster way to lose.

4.You need to have some criteria and/or strategy to let you know who to draft It's important that you approach any draft with a strategy. The most frequent and fundamental type of all these strategies is to create basic position guidelines and/or target drafting certain positions within certain rounds. For instance, I prefer to pick a TE earlier and simply wait on QBs. An illustration of the position by round plans can be planning to draft an RB in round 1, a TE in round 2, and then a WR in round three. Both of those practices are simple to test out and setting these kinds of plans early on will make your draft far less stressful and much more successful.
