Fantasy Football 101:  How to Dominate Your Draft in 10 Easy Steps

5. Draft a TE first or last

In leagues that require a starting TE, Travis Kelce should not make it out of the first round.  Outside of that, let your league mates spend an early to mid-round draft pick on the other starting tight ends, whose differential compared to Kelce will be massive yet who likely will fail to significantly outproduce those tight ends drafted later. 

Let others use precious early to mid-round draft capital on tight ends while you continue to stockpile quality players at RB and WR. Players drafted as TE12 or later who could mirror the production of earlier tight ends selected include David Njoku, Greg Dulcich, Chig Okonkwo, and Juwan Johnson.

6. Fade the post-injury hype

Avoid spending precious draft capital on players coming off major injuries.  Most teams will ease those players back into their systems and will sit them out rather than risk re-injury.  For example, let others worry about the limited workloads of Breece Hall and Javonte Williams in this year's draft.  The cost acquisition of such players compared to picks in that draft range makes the safer play the right option. Focus on healthy players with good opportunities to outperform their ADP.
