3 www.newzgroup.com Sportz Newz Newz Group’s Tips for Maximum Fantasy Football Enjoyment The NFL season opens up soon, but fantasy football has been starting in earnest for some time. This weekend, fantasy drafts will be live all across the country. As a multiple times fantasy football league champion, going for the hat trick with my league this year, I feel as though I’m uniquely qualified to give my tips for a successful run at your own league’s trophy! This advice is mostly applicable to ten team standard leagues. Your mileage may vary. There is no sure fire way to be a fantasy champion A superficial glance at all those fantasy football advice columns should be evidence enough, but you don’t need to be a guru to draft a successful team. More often than not, those fancy pants six-figure clowns that mug on TV know less about fantasy football than your favorite fork. On top of this, several “analysts” get caught up in the sauciness of potential and fail to focus on the cold hard fantasy numbers that lead to success. Sure, use the millions of television shows, internet videos, podcasts and “advice” columns…as entertainment and maybe pick a few little nuggets out of, but do not depend on any outside element to form your own opinion. Draft running backs in the first two rounds Running backs are the predominant number of grinders on your team. Don’t waste time on GOAT players and really look at yards and carries. While a potential running back may not have that spicy flavor and appeal of more known (arguably better) players, if they have the numbers then it’s not an issue. You won’t waste a precious draft pick on a player who will do nothing for you in the first few weeks as the season shakes out and the true GOAT fantasy players arrive to be scooped up. As most real NFL teams are using a running back “by committee” scheme these days, star power is less important and finding a few yard grinders for your team is more important than touchdown potential.
