3 Tips For Your 2008 Fantasy Football Draft
Fantasy Football Draft Tips - #1 Last year's stats don't equal this year's stats - This one sounds simple enough, but many people put too much weight on a player's previous season. Just because Kenny Watson finished 2007 as the 19th best RB or Bobby Engram as the 15th best WR does not mean these guys should be drafted among the elite at their positions. Do your research, examine trends, and then determine what each player's value is for this season. Fantasy Football Draft Tips - #2 Don't pay for Tom Brady's 2007 season - Brady put together the best season for a QB in the history of the NFL last year. That was last year, though. He would have to repeat those numbers in 2008 to justify his current ADP of 1.06. Don't forget that after throwing for 49 TDs in 2004, Peyton Manning threw just 28 TDs the next year. Brady has a good shot to finish 2008 as fantasy football's #1 QB, but he is not worth a 1st round pick unless your league's scoring system favors QBs. We think there is much more value if you... Fantasy Football Draft Tips - #3 Wait on a QB - While QB is one of the most important positions on the field for NFL franchises, the position is not as crucial in fantasy football. From 2005-2007, the average difference between the #1 QB (a standard league's best starting QB) and the #12 QB (a standard league's worst starting QB) was 7.6 points per game. The average difference over the same time span between the #1 (best starter) and #24 (worst starter) RBs and WRs was 16.3 points per game and 9.4 points per game respectively. In short, because more RBs and WRs are in starting lineups each week, the value of a top RB or WR is much greater than that of an elite QB. Simple supply and demand.
