Fantasy Football Draft Strategy 2021
As I approach my 28th season playing this game within a game, I realize I have spent nearly two-thirds of my life playing Fantasy Football. At this point in my experience, I may sometimes fall victim to my intuitions and can muscle-memory myself through a draft without too much thought. Sometimes the result will work but I like to refresh this article every year to remind myself how to put together a solid game plan for each new year. In one of my former lives, I used to train new bartenders at the place I worked. Doing so, I saw the enthusiasm and hunger they had for becoming a great bartender. When I scroll through Twitter and read tweets from the younger generation of fantasy-heads, it’s refreshing to see the new approaches and ideas that are being shared. That is the type of stuff that reinvigorates and brings me that energy back.
