Thread: good Advice - need help

Well it depends on the league you are in and how they score it but a general rule of thumb is this.

If your pick is 1st through 5th take a RB or QB position.

5th through 10th pick take a QB, RB, or WR.

If you have the 1st overall pick take Adrian Peterson or Arian Foster.

With your first 3 picks try and get 2 top ten RB and a top 5 QB.

Ok enough strategy. Here's my list. (You will hear hundreds of opinions out there. Use your own judgment to decide which one you want. This is how most view it.)

Kickers are a bit of a crap shoot so don't be afraid to pluck up a different one as the year goes on. Last but not least watch the free agents after as your season goes on. There are always diamonds in the rough. See LeGarette Blount.

Hope this helps and enjoy yourself.

thanks so far

it's a 10 team league

Best tip i can give anyone is go Running back first then Qb second no matters what then the rest you can have fun with by picking who ever you want for the remaining spots, and theres not that many good fantasy qbs out there and theres even less running backs .

I cant think of his name but te running back for tampa bay had a great season last year until he got injured he will probably have a good year people wont draft him any lower than the 6th round though so if you can get him hes a good pick he would be a great backup if you picked a guy in the first round.

Dude, you need to just read up on a few sites. National Football Post has a fairly decent player ranking for free. Heck, there are tons of them with strategy and player rankings. Just google fantasy football insight.

The problem with those fantasy football rankings and insight websites is there sometimes way off and its usually just better to go off of what you know.

I don't know every team and player as good as I should ;)

Sooooo, you or I are perfect? I don't believe that for a moment. I've been doing fantasy football since 1993, I know better.

The best sites will give you some way to equate the rankings to your scoring system/league size. For many years I used the draft dominator at footballguys.com. That's a good starting point for you GBPH.

They usually have a free version without the updated predictions, but it comes as an excel spreadsheet, so you can tweak things as you see fit (predictions).

For the Kickers, 1. should be Jason Hanson of the Lions. Here is some stats http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/286/jason-hanson
Definetly Peterson, as should a lot of people! He will help your team!

If you are in different leagues, expirement with different with different players, so next year, you know what to expect. Are you on an online league or just play with your friends?
