Have you felt like you missed out in your draft after failing to draft an entire group of talented players? To help you navigate your upcoming H2H category drafts, let's talk tiers.

Tier-based drafting is all about looking for maximum talent/production at the best price. Each position has a different point where there is a considerable drop off in talent and opportunity. This methodology provides you a clear picture of the strengths and weaknesses of a position. It allows you to make calculated and impactful decisions during the draft, and it helps you avoid erratic ones that can leave you short-handed at a key position.

Here is a basic grid for H2H Categories leagues, along with some analysis to summarize each of the five positions. As a reminder, it's a good best practice to make your own tiers and embrace your opinions. You'll be even more cool, calm and collected during your draft or auction, and come away feeling like you did your due diligence leading up to draft day.
