fantasy football cheat sheet 2009

Ok great, so now you’ve signed up for a fantasy football team and you are waiting for the inevitable auto-draft. What now? Well, most fantasy football aficionados will tell you that you should “pre-rank” your players. You think, why – I looked at the website’s player rankings and it looks OK to me? That’s a very popular misconception and probably the number one reason that first-timers don’t do very well come the end of the fantasy season.

The draft is the most important step in the fantasy football season. Let me repeat that. The draft is the most important step in the fantasy football season. It will be the reason that you either win or lose your league. It will not be because one or two of your studs had a bad game. It won’t be because one or two of your players gets put on IR. It will be because you made contingencies for these kinds of events, because you drafted not just the studs, but very capable backups, and because you planned for player inconsistencies.

Using the website’s rankings to do your draft means that you will draft players according to how their fantasy gurus see things and how they ranked the players. Pre-ranking your players according to your system is crucial to a great draft. It sets you apart from the also-rans and the lazies. The question is, how do I go about this pre-ranking thing? There is a very simple solution using a very simple philosophy: What did you do last year and what might you do this year is going to determine what I do right now!
