To ensure your happiness, one should have a strategy for their fantasy football draft. Quarterbacks are usually the players that make the most points for the team. Peer pressure (“We need one more guy”), watching other NFL games (“I have the running back on the Titans”), and the always attractive notion of beating your friends and taking their money, are all ways to lure back those players that have basically checked-out in fantasy football. If a top star at that position is no longer there, the best move is to look at the top of the quarterback board, and select either Andrew Luck or Aaron Rodgers. I didn’t stop there, next were 2 wide receivers and then tight end. I have had the same philosophy on my draft every year until now.
