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

9. Always handcuff your RB1

This rule really depends on the roster limits of your league.  If you have enough bench spots, it is worth a late-round pick to handcuff your top RB.  A perfect example of this is Jerome Ford of the Cleveland Browns, a player who likely can be selected in the last round of drafts but would immediately become relevant for Nick Chubb owners if the latter were to sustain a significant injury. 

If your league only allows for a small bench, then selecting quality bench plays who could become starters regardless of injury would be the better play.

10. Make your own tiers list

Too many fantasy players just look at the draft room listings when deciding who to take on draft day.  There is value in pre-work...namely, putting the four position groups in tiers that you can reference on draft day.  This allows you to make an informed decision when it is your turn to draft as far as what position may be scarce in relation to others.  Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation.

Follow these 10 simple steps and DOMINATE your fantasy draft.  Best of luck as you embark on the 2023 fantasy football season.
