Gearing up for Fantasy Football

I can smell it just around the corner. Unknown rookies, superstar veterans, comeback player candidates…it gives me goosebumps thinking about the draft. There is no bigger rush during the season aside from being in the championship game than the opening draft. The fantasy football draft, no different than any other fantasy sports draft, has been said to be the make or break of any fantasy managers season. While it largely depends on who your competition is, I think this largely holds true. While free agency can provide you with plenty of options, you can really set yourself up nicely with a solid draft. I have tried drafting with different strategies, and eich yielded varying results. However, I found the most success was simply drafting by value regardless of position…mostly. I place a lot of factors into a fantasy football players value. Position is an important factor, sometimes more than raw numbers and stats. Anyway, it’s early and we have time to go over some mock draft strategies and review some of the lesser known rookies going into the draft. Until then don’t let the anticipation for the 2010 fantasy football season completely stop you in your tracks…or do!
