Okay, so, I got into this fantasy football thing this year. Never done it before, but a bunch of my buddies were all hyped up, so I thought, why not?
First thing I did was start looking around online to see what all the fuss was about. Found some articles talking about the “Top 150” players or the “Top 200” for 2024. Seemed like a good place to start, right?
Then I dug a little deeper. I noticed that most of these sites were breaking it down by position. Like, they had lists for quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and so on. I quickly learned that these positions are super important.
- Quarterbacks: These guys throw the ball, the heart of the offense.
- Running Backs: They run with the ball, scoring a lot of touchdowns.
- Wide Receivers: They catch the passes from the quarterbacks.
I read up on some star players. Heard a lot about this guy Ja’Marr Chase, apparently he’s some big shot wide receiver. I decided to keep an eye on him. Everyone was saying he was the best pick.
But then I stumbled upon this idea that maybe focusing on specific players wasn’t the best strategy at first. Instead, it’s better to think about which positions to fill first on your team. Smart, huh?
So, I started making notes. According to most articles, wide receivers and running backs should be your first picks. Then maybe a tight end. After that, your defense, then a kicker, and finally, a quarterback. Makes sense, I guess.
I spent a good few hours each day reading and planning. Watched some games, trying to understand how it all worked. It was a lot to take in, but it was actually pretty fun. I started to feel like I had a plan, a real strategy.
Then, I joined the draft and picked my players. I was trying to do it by the book. I was aiming to take the best from the top 150 list and following the positions strategy I had learned.
Then came the time when I started to play. I played for several weeks, and you know what? I won! All thanks to the knowledge I gained during the preparation and planning phase. Fantasy football is cool. I might do it again next year, for sure. Who knows, maybe I’ll even become good at it!
