ADVICE

Draft Elite Players In Strong Offenses

  • Take elite players who play in strong offenses instead of overanalyzing minor concerns.
  • Prioritize clear upside and stability over speculative, small-edge reasons to avoid a top player.
ADVICE

Take The Players You Actually Want

  • Draft the players you actually want, not the cheapest option because of perceived value.
  • Create a short starred list of 50–60 players to prioritize during drafts and stick to it.
ADVICE

Let Joy Break Ties In Your Rankings

  • Use joy as a tiebreaker: draft players you want to watch all season.
  • If a player won't make you happy to follow every Sunday, prefer someone who will.
