hey there this year is my first year playing fantasy football, 12 man h2h league and i draft 3rd. i was just wondering if anyone had some pointers for a new guy going into the draft, and maybe some big names to look for in the later rounds, at RB WR positions
thanks for any advice you have to offer!
Target RBs and WRs early, especially RB if it's a standard scoring league.
You cant wait on QB if you want. There's quality depth with guys like Big Ben, Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford, and plenty of others. So if you don't get an elite QB then don't panic.
You can also wait on TE. In fact, you can wait damn near forever to draft a TE. There's never been depth at the position like this year. Guys like Jarad Cook and Aaron Hernandez aren't in most top 12s at TE but could prove nice starting options. Tons of other high upside guys as well.
Take a kicker in the last round and last round only. No exceptions ever. Wait till the late rounds to take a defense as well. And never draft a backup kicker or defense.
There's a fantasy thread on here about fantasy sleepers. Quite a few good late round fliers mentioned there. A few I like are:
Denarius Moore
Earl Bennett: especially in PPRs
A. Brown/E. Sanders: one will blow up in Pitt; not sure which one right now
D. Carter: Addai never stays healthy
Burleson: obviously not some young guy or new name, but Stafford threw to him a lot in preseason & nobodys drafting him
Hope you enjoy playing fantasy and have a good first year

thanks for the info i will take that into consideration i originaly was sold on vick for my first round pick, but the more research i do the more im changing my mind the strategy u have listed here seems much more sound and logical, we also have to draft defensive players opposed to just selecting a team in this league when should i look to aquire them much later im assuming, most likely fill my starting RB WR QB and then look for them?
i know the basics im an avid sports bettor just never got into the fantasy aspect seems like a hole new world, haha we got 12 guys $100 buy in so i plan on giving them a run for the money
