Drafting Your Team
Drafting your team is, in my eyes, the most important part of playing fantasy football. This is where you should apply all of your research and use it to pick your best team. The first four round will be your obvious pick, but your mid to late round picks can make or break your team. In these round you really need to use your research to form the best team possible.
