Notice that each position is assigned its own color for quick recognition. If you need help visualizing what this looks like, here’s a grid from the first seven rounds of last year’s Ballers Writer’s draft. Many platforms have them built into their drafts or you can easily create your own by scrawling a makeshift grid with pen and paper. If you know the roster build of those drafting near you it makes it easier to decide whether or not you should pull the trigger at specific positions, especially tight ends and quarterbacks. The grid, or draft board, is a great way to instantly visualize your opponents’ rosters in real-time during the draft. It sets up as the perfect spot to bypass the questionable running backs and lock up some exciting receivers. At this point in drafts, you’ll find six of The Ballers’ top-12 consensus ranked wideouts. The wide receivers in this range, however, are loaded with upside. The backs going in that range this season, like Todd Gurley, Le’Veon Bell, and Melvin Gordon, all come with plenty of question marks (just like the Batman villain this tip is named after). The running backs typically drafted in this range by ADP have underperformed compared to their expectations over the past five seasons. The Ballers always stress “being water” in fantasy drafts, but rounds three to six appear to be the perfect place to attack wide receivers this year. This kind of contextual knowledge can give you a leg up on your competition as much, if not more than any statistical metric. Do your league-mates typically “drop it like it’s hawt”? Maybe you know of a specific team or player biases that exist in your league. If you’ve played in your league long enough you should have a feel for how the league plays out on a year-to-year basis.
Obviously it’s important to know the mechanical rules and settings of your particular league, but it goes deeper than that. It’s easy to get wrapped up in statistics, analytics, and strategies but it’s just as important to know the nuances of your league. Want more Tips & tricks?
