ANECDOTE

Flex League Draft Walkthrough

Chris Welsh described his 14-team Flex League roster and why he picked Jefferson, Fields, and Dak.
He explained roster construction choices and punting the tight end slot because the league uses a WR/TE flex.

ADVICE

Double Up On QBs In Deep Leagues

In deeper 14-team leagues, draft two viable quarterbacks if you miss a top signal-caller.
Having interchangeable QBs like Justin Fields and Dak Prescott reduces scarcity risk at quarterback.

ADVICE

Use Draft Wizard Post-Draft Analytics

Sync your completed league to FantasyPros Draft Wizard to see playoff and championship odds.
