What is the easiest way to win at fantasy football?

Answer 1

This is a good question but there is no easy answers. That is what makes Fantasy football so much fun. However, there a few general tips that will ensure you a good year.

Tip #1 --- Do a little research,
keep up on Off -Seasons moves , like trades & coaches changes. Also know Teams depth Charts .

Tip # 2 ---- Spend time on your Draft. It is the most important tool for a great season.

Tip # 3 ----know your scoring systems , it the key to how you should draft.

Tip # 4 ---- During the Draft , never follow a Run.
A Run is when a number of teams start drafting the same postion, then leave you feeling force to follow suit.

Tip # 5 ---- deveolp a Draft Plan & STICK TO IT.
A. Here are a few Good Draft Day strategies
1. The three-back strategy :This idea is simple -- you spend your first three draft picks on running backs, regardless of who's left at other positions when you pick. In most leagues, you will find that running backs are the most picked position early on in the draft as Fantasy teams scramble for guys who touch the ball 20 or more times a game. 2. Best player available :This one's pretty straightforward: When it's your turn to pick, take the player you think is the best on the board regardless of the position.
3.The sleeper strategy : In this you try to pick players with tons of upside that feel will have a break-out year.
4. Value Based Draft System (or VBD for short) : The system revolves around making detailed statistical projections for every draftable player base on your League scoring system. In it's simplest form: The value of a player is determined not by the number of points he scores, but by how much he outscores his peers at his particular position
These are all good plans but the key is, How much time are you willing to put into them & to STICK with them..

Tip # 6 --- during the Season, work the waivre wire. It is the best way to improve your team.

Tip # 7 ----- weight all Trades on your scoring sytems & the NFL remainding schedule. Look for the best fit for your team not just the latest One Game Wonders.

Tip # 8 -- is the most important ---- HAVE FUN ,
Winning is not Everything , But it is DAMM CLOSE!!!

Answer 2

You've got to have balance...you can't just load up on RB's or get two stud QB's and ignore your WR...every position has a potential to win you that particular week.

Pay attention as the season goes along, who knew Larry Johnson would score like 15 TD's in the final weeks of the season? I knew Holmes was streaky, I took Johnson too and he along with S.Alexander won my fantasy league for me.

In contrast to what another response said, I would NEVER take a DEF prior to round 13. The reasoning is you need your bench to be STRONG, especially for bye weeks/injuries. What good does a DEF scoring you 6 points if you are giving 0's in your actual WR/TE positions?

And on the same lines, stay away from kickers until the end. Their production is usually within 20 points for the top 10 kickers.

Do your research, pay attention during your draft and have fun...and you have a great chance of winning!

Answer 3

Learn your league's scoring rules, then try to find a loop hole or niche that will allow you to come out of the draft ahead in starter quality and/or depth, whichever better fits your overall strategy. Then spend every waking moment during the season following the players, and don't give dropping a marginal player a second thought in order to pick up a potentially better FA or player on waivers.

Or you could just play in a league where you own all the teams.

Answer 4

Be dedicated (be there for the live draft, it's important!) It would help use all of the purchasable stuff provided, like stat trackers and extra news (although u dont have too in order to win). The most important thing is to watch the games and know a lot about the game of football and it's players!

Answer 5

Like the guy above me said...stick with your RBs first ...I found it easy to pick up a WR in the league I was in...and a PK too....
Think about a starting Defense before your 6th pick...
getting lucky helps too...one week I had my bench out score my STARTERS...and almost half the others teams THAT WEEK...that high
Have Fun -Good Luck

Answer 6

Don't draft players from your favorite team.
Look for the areas where a few guys stand out from the back and draft those guys.
Realize it's not how many points your guys score that makes you a winner; it's how many more points they score than the other guy's team.

Answer 7

First of all, you have to put aside your feelings towards you favorite teams and players. You have to draft with winning in mind, not loyalty. Also, based on most leagues scoring systems, you need to load up on RBs...they're your point getters!

Answer 8

first 2 rounds pick running backs, the last 2 rounds pick back ups from the running teams. the ones in the middle just check rankings on yahoo or another web site

Answer 9

Get the best running backs. These are the base of your team. While production from wide receivers vary heavily from week to week, running backs see consistent touches each week. Get the running backs that will carry the load for their offense.

Answer 10

Best is to consult some experienced players for advice.
