Don't get risky during the draft. I usually go for the homerun or the guy getting super hyped up in the first few rounds. Montee Ball and Cordarrlle patterson are a few of the people in the past who burnt me.


Also getting an elite qb is a must. Use to play that "Have multiple qbs and play matchups" shite and that screwed me the past two years.

Completely disagree and would say I learned the opposite lesson. I waited until the 12th round to draft a QB (Cousins) and it made the rest of my team much better, because when guys were drafting QBs in the 5th/6th round I was able to get guys who ended up being fantasy studs, one being Melvin Gordon.

Look at the top QBs this year. Outside of the top 2 (Rodgers, Brees) the next 5 (Ryan, Mariota, Prescott, Cousins, Carr) are all guys you could have either drafted in the 10+ rounds or picked up off waivers. Even up to this week you can find startable QBs on waivers. If you play match ups you can easily stream all year at a QB1 value and not have to waste a high draft pick on a QB.

Look at the first QB off the board this year in most leagues, Cam Newton. He's the #14 QB right now. If you drafted him, you probably had to take him somewhere in the 2nd-4th rounds. Which means you took him over guys that may have been every week studs for you.

Waiting to draft a QB is the better strategy almost every time.

Maybe having one or at least a consistent one is, but drafting one high isn't. There was elite qb production this year, and really every year that I can remember, that either didn't get drafted or went late in the draft. You just to be ready to act quick to take advantage of it.
