7 Ways to Screw Up Your Fantasy Draft

 7 Ways to Screw Up Your Fantasy Draft

7: Forget about bye weeks
There’s nothing worse than having 2 QB’s on the same bye week. After you draft your players, write down the week that team is off on a bye. When it’s time to draft your back-up players, look at the match-ups. 

6: Drink your face off
Everybody loves draft day, but if your head’s not in it you’ll end up with a handful of bums and kickers.

5: Draft your favorite players
People tend to pick players based on teams they love and avoid players they hate. Unless you like wasting money, try to draft the best team and cheer for your favorite players on the side. The Cowboys and Patriots are great fantasy teams despite all the haters.

4: Underestimate the time of a draft
Some people try to squeeze a fantasy draft in between work or things to do. If you’re rushed you’ll make poor decisions.

3. Obsess over Running Backs
We all know how important a stud RB is, but Quarterbacks and Receivers are just as important. Try to take the best available player; you don’t need 3-4 superstar RB’s with Rex Grossman and two 49er WR’s.

2. Over think your picks
Some people study their brains out trying to find sleepers, and end up overlooking quality fantasy players. Keep your sleepers locked up until the last half of the draft. Don’t be the guy who reaches on a rookie too early or a player on a bad team.

1. Bring your Girlfriend or Wife to your draft
Circle the day on the calendar and tell her you’ll hang out later. There’s nothing worse than getting looks from across the room while trying to make fantasy decisions. We all know the draft is key to a great fantasy season, so leave the drama at home. Of course, if your girlfriend or wife is in the pool then consider yourself the luckiest guy alive.

    Mike Rodriguez: J.Stewart vs Min, McGahee vs Cleveland and L.White vs Colts. I'd go with benching the roookie J.Stewart because the Vikings run def is the only thing working right now. Also McGahee is off a bye and L.White won't have to see Bob Sanders.

    Shane: Who to start in week 3? L.White, W.McGahee or J.Stewart?

    ron: Thanx for the Carolina pick i only bet $20 but it was fun screening at the tv, and winning my money

    zaklady bukmacherskie: Very interesting site, nice design, greetings

    RJ IN BC: Awsome site guys! keep the great advice coming!!

    Mike Rodriguez: I'd keep him, despite being rusty you'll have no RB's. You have to assume there will be nothing there for you at RB's in a 4player keeper league

    dale from NV: I have S.Jackson and W.Parker Drew Brees and Roy Williams. I know people think S.Jackson is going to be paid soon and bounce back but I wonder if i should try to trade him cause he'll be rusty and might suck? I have to keep 3 players what do you think?

    John A: cool site man, i curious about this outplay

    Bet-at-home: Nice blog, i have added it to my favourites, greetings

    Mike Rodriguez: M.Barber needs to be kept! He's going to have a huge year. As far as LJ and Rudi I would keep LJ, he's due to bounce back and you know he'll get his carries where as rudi has to share with watson and CIN love to throw the ball

    Steve: I have 3 great runningback keepers L.johnson,Rudi Johnson and M.Barber. Who Should I keep? the all had ok years but i know that they''ll bounce back I can keep 2
