Fantasy Football Draft Advice - Don't Get Caught Doing These Three Stupid Mistakes On Your Draft Day
Author : Kate Rieger
Just by sitting through a fantasy football draft its easy to separate the noobies from the senior fantasy players.You can avoid looking like a goof and making bad early choices. Here's three things to avoid during your first draft.
First of all, never draft a kicker until at least the last two or three rounds. Typically, your kicker should be your last pick. Making them your next to last pick or the one before that won't kill you, but it still may not be a smart move. Drafting a kicker in the third or fourth round will bring on the laughter from the rest of the league, and likely ruin your chances of becoming a champion.
It's not that kickers don't mean anything, it's just that the difference between the points you will score from choosing the number one kicker, which is not an easy task to begin with, to the number ten or even twelve kicker comes out to about 2 points per week. Keep the kicker picks for the later rounds and boost the rest of your roster in the early draft picks.
The second tip on the list involve your kicker choice too. Never draft more than one kicker. This is a sure sign that either the person is new to fantasy football or they likely just aren't very good at it. There will be plenty of kickers in the free agent pool for you to pick up all throughout the season for the week your kicker has his bye. Wasting a roster spot on a backup kicker is a clear sign that that team will likely be at the bottom of the standings in your fantasy league. Here's the third noobiest mistake many fantasy rookies make and that's drafting defensive players early in the draft. Somewhere around the 10th round is probably a good spot, but again, building your team is the most important thing in fantasy football, and that usually means RB's and WR's.
Much like kickers, there's not a huge difference in the top 10 or twelve defenses as far as fantasy scoring goes. Taking a defense too early means missing out on a player that could help solidify your roster. Taking a defense too late isn't going to kill you, and here is why.
There is likely going to be at least 15 or more team defenses available on the free agent list. If the defense you have doesn't happen to be one of the top defenses, you can play matchups each week. This is because there will likely be a defense available that should have a decent week, which will be all that you need if the rest of your team is as strong as it should be.
Don't beat yourself up over not having one of the best defenses, it isn't something that will prevent you from winning a fantasy football championship. Now that you know the three key mistakes to avoid on draft day, you will be better prepared to pick your team and make it a winner. You know the saying,'winning isn't everything'; it sure beats losing though.
