Which position at which round?

Question

I was recently asked to join a fantasy football league by a FOAF, and I have my player rankings, I know who I like for what position. But I don't know which round to draft the positions. Aside from RB in the 1st round. It is a 10 team league, non-keeper, non-salary. You get points for yardage and scores. I'm fairly sure you draft defenses as a team unit. I hope this is enough info.

Answer 1

1. RB
2. RB
3. WR
4. QB
5. WR
6. QB
7. K
8. TE
9. DEF
10. ?

Answer 2

You need to have 2 RB thru your first 3 picks, who you'll be begging for scraps later. This year's distribution favors RB-WR-RB order, but it depends what spot your picking in. Spot 9 or 10 you may be best off taking 2 RBs in a row.

I know it's tough, but let someone else take Peyton and Gates. Your QB can wait till the 5th, even 6th round and still get some quality. Your TE can go 7th or later. Don't be afraid to stockpile RB and WR early.

Wait on your DST and PK until at least the 10th round, and only draft one of each. Worry about the bye weeks later in the year.

At the end of your draft (assuming your drafting anywhere from 14 to 20 players) you should have:

QB - 2 - pick the first in the 5th/6th round and the 2nd in the 8-10th rounds.

TE - 2 - pick the first around rounds 7-9 and the 2nd with one of your last 3 picks

K/DEF - pick one of each, and neither before round 10 (defense frist then kicker)

RB/WR - all the rest of your spots - try to have 2 of each in your frist 4 rounds, and 7 total thru 10 rounds.

Answer 3

It all depends on how your team is going and who is available.

Round 1; I would recomend a RB no matter what position your picking (Tomilison, larry johnson, and Alexander should be first, not in that order particularly)

Round 2: I would go with a RB here too. If manning is available (I doubt it) take him. If you got a late second round you can opt for a WR if it's S. Smith ot T.O.(TO will be incredible in his first year with the Cowboys).

Round 3: you would take a RB if you took a WR in Round 2. If you took a RB than you need to start looking at your WR options unless a top Tier 2 back is still available (doubtful).

Round 4: WR all the way... Maybe RB depending on who you got on your roster.

Round 5: needs of your team... stick to WR or RB. You might start looking at QB's here but I would wait until Round 6.

Round 6: QB. if you took a QB in Round 5, Take a WR or RB here, depending on who is available.

Round 7: Depending on how many RB's and WR's you have take the one you got less of.

Round 8: Take antonio gates if he is available. If not, i would take another WR or RB or maybe even your back up qb.

Round 9: Take your back up qb if you did not on Round 8 other wise take a TE

Round 10: chicago defense if it is available... They will put up numbers. If not than take a WR or RB.

Round 11- END: Look at your team needs. Don't worry about a Kicker until the last 2 rounds and don't worry too much about back up kickers and back up defense's. you can always pick one up from the waivers for the bye week game.
Also if your league don't award one point per reception don't take a TE as early as I said.
Again it all depends on the flow of the draft but I think that this will help.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 4

Most of the time I go with round your team out, and if your getting solid at positions such as RB (you should take a RB first 2 rounds) QB (which is deep this year, there isn't a ton of a dropoff pointwise between the top 12 this year), and a couple WR's (Also pretty deep...)

I'll look at a defense if the top one sstart going, but generally I'll try and even out my RB, QB, and WR positions or fill them with starters and then worry about if if offensive players are the focus.

A kicker I generally don't worry about until late in the draft, Ryan Longwell is a personal favorite kicking in a Dome this year for Minnesota and is usually let unpicked until late.

I wouldn't grab a top tight end though, there are a lot better recivers and backs out there that can account for more then most of the top ones in most cases. (Keep an eye on guys llike the TE for Washington, can't think of his name at this moment, and Heath Miller.)

You should end up with a solid team drafting this way.

I also wouldn't worry about a back-up kicker, it's pretty much just a wasted roster spot, but you probably already knew that.

Answer 5

RBs should definitely be your top pick. You need to make sure that you get at least one top receiver. Quarterbacks will get you a lot of points, but if you have a good team around him, it won't matter. The guy who won the league I was in last year, didn't draft a quaterback until something like the 10th round.

Also, I wouldn't waste too high of a pick on a tight end, kicker, or defense, but once someone breaks the seal, and picks one of these, the rest will go quickly. Same with rookies.

Answer 6

Depending on where you pick I would go RB, RB, WR, RB, WR, QB, WR/RB, etc. But if you have a shot at a good TE like Gates, Shockey or Heap you may want to grab them. You also shouldn't draft according to any set idea. Stay flexible and try to take the best possible player in any given round. You can always trade later to fix your team. Draft a Kicker last. Good luck!

Answer 7

RB 1st and 2nd round then QB 3rd round and probly WR next

Answer 8

Which ever position you are more comfortable with.
