Alright, so I decided to get serious about my fantasy football league this year. I always end up picking players I like, not necessarily the best ones. So, I thought, “Let’s actually figure out the top 10 picks before the draft.”
First, I grabbed my laptop and opened up a bunch of fantasy football websites. You know, the usual suspects. I wanted to see what the “experts” were saying.
Then, I made a simple spreadsheet. Nothing fancy, just a place to jot down names and some basic stats. I started listing players that kept popping up across different sites.
Initial List – Way More Than 10!
- Lots of Quarterbacks
- Some Running Backs I always ignored.
- Wide Receivers, some suprise me!
Next, I started digging into player stats from last season. I looked at things like total yards, touchdowns, and consistency. Some guys had huge games but then disappeared for weeks. Not ideal.
I also checked for injury reports. No point drafting someone who’s already out for half the season! That’s a mistake I’ve made way too many times.
After a few hours of this, I narrowed it down. It was tough! There are so many good players, but I forced myself to be ruthless. I focused on players with a proven track record and a good chance of staying healthy.
Finally, I had my list. It might not be perfect, but it’s way better than my usual “pick-my-favorites” strategy. I feel pretty good about it, and I’m actually excited for the draft now!
I’ll update this document that how it all went after the draft, so you can learn more about the Fantasy Football.
