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

7. Gobble up RB/WR on your bench

Once your starting lineup is selected, focus should immediately go to the RB and WR positions.  It is not necessary to even draft a backup QB if you select a solid starter.  Rather, you can scan the waiver wire for a backup on your starter's bye week.  In addition, if your starting QB goes down, drafting an excess of RB and WR will allow you to trade for another QB likely better than a selected backup on draft day.  Same goes for TE.  Don't be the fantasy owner that turns on autodraft at the end of drafts and ends up with 3-4 TE.  You can never have enough RB and WR on your bench.

8. Draft upside in later rounds

Once your principal starters and primary backups are selected, focus for the remainder of the draft should be on upside.  Don't even queue a player with a high floor but limited upside for a bench spot.  Late round targets such as Elijah Moore, Tank Dell, and Deuce Vaughn make for solid selections towards the latter half of the draft.  Avoid low-ceiling picks such as Damien Harris, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and Allen Lazard.  Always think UPSIDE for your bench plays.
