How do you build a championship team?
This is always the main question to ask, but it's a tricky one to answer. And there are so many others.
How will you handle potential absences due to COVID-19? What can you do about the increasing amount of load management among star players? Several of the best players in the league have joined together in super teams of veterans, where none have to carry their usual load... what's that do to their value? Are the young players ready to take the next step? Are the players coming off injury ready to resume their typical production? Where will the superstars swirling in trade rumors end up playing? Will they even play at all?
In this season more than most, where there are so many swirling variables, you really need to come into your fantasy drafts with a sound plan of action. Where is the value in each round? When do you take a chance and when do you play it safe? And how early do you take your sleepers and breakout candidates?
Questions. So many questions.
To find the answers, it requires having a feel of how most drafts are playing out. So I've done my homework.
After taking part in mock drafts, looking at Average Draft Pick (ADP) data and weighing my preseason projections, I've gone through and identified some of the players I'm targeting at different points in the draft.
