Yes sports fans, it’s that time again. Time to try to put together that puzzle.
The pieces are all out there. All we have to do is pick up the right ones at the right times and good fortune will kiss us right where it counts. In the wallet. But I digress.
This is not about money. This is about the competition. Always the competition. A yearly bonding of gentleman-ish couch potatoes seeking to crush each other into a fine dust.
We kiss our wives goodbye and it’s off to the draft. See you in December. Football is.
My drafting style has evolved over the years as I'm sure yours has. I’ll never forget that first live draft where I picked a quarterback in the first round. Even against the locals I couldn’t pull off a championship after that move. Maybe that is why the thought still repels me today.
These days I play in a keeper league and a dynasty league. And every season I play in a few re-draft leagues. Always PPR. Always 12 teamers. It is what I know. It is what I do. Last year I did it very well in a national contest consisting of 144 teams placing first in total points. It was a simple execution. A perfect draft plan. A perfect draft position. (I drafted 12th - right in my wheelhouse) A perfectly cooperating group of drafters that let me pull off my scheme with nary a hitch.
There are key players in every fantasy draft that will determine the winners of most leagues. You can see them sprinkled on the winning teams. They are the guys nobody expected last year.
