Haven't played FF in years. Help!

[DonaldDouchebag]

Is there a good guide anywhere that I can use for my draft tomorrow? I'll go to the CVS and buy a magazine if there's one you recommend. I want to put the least possible amount of effort into this. Thanks in advance!

I play every year. And every year I plan on preparing better by reading up on fantasy football to improve my opinion. But every year with no preparation, I just end up drafting from the list provided. The key is to draft players who don’t get injured.

Thank you!

I’ll take any advice at this point.

I think the guys at CBS Sports are the best in the business, particularly Jamey Eisenberg (his cousin Jesse is that annoying guy from Zombieland). Just go off their cheat sheets. It's all luck anyway (Copyright sellingguy).

In simplest terms, the rationale behind drafting any player is hoping he outproduces everyone else available at that time. This is true in every round. Why else would you take a player? The only reasonable answer to that question is because you need to fill specific positions. But even when you’re choosing based on roster needs, the same rationale applies. When you pick a player, you’re hoping he outproduces everyone else available at that position at that time.

With each passing year I get less and less interested in who the backup RB for Houston is and why I should care how he does. I just want to watch the VIkings and other games organically once again, but I can't get out of my league. It's gotten to the point I don't even know anything about half the players anymore. I'm just going to print the latest cheat sheet the day before the draft and throw darts once again and then hope I pick up some surprise players after the first couple weeks. Leagues are usually won off the waiver wire anyways.

In some form or another, I have been playing fantasy football since 1992. I’ve learnt it doesn’t matter if you prepare or not. Some years I’ve did significant reading and/or practice mock drafting. Most years I just drafted from the cheat sheet list of players provided. I did just as good or better with no prep. It’s all luck. You need a big year out of your top players and a healthy roster.

The Fantasy Football magazines are from 2 months ago. NO updated info at all. Just go to fantasyPros.com and go to their rankings. It's a consensus board of every expert. It's not my thing, I like to do research and my own rankings, but I'm a fucking goon who enjoys it. You're normal. That's a good site.

The only real studying you need to do is what roll rookies will have. If a 4th or 5th round RB has a bad player in front of them you can usually get him later in the draft and stash him for 4-6 weeks. Maybe he pans out, maybe he doesn't. Maybe he blows up his first game and you trade him for a good player.

Also: McKinnen was top-2 among RBs in targets, catches, receiving yards, and receiving TDs during the last 10 games of 2022. He has little value as a rusher but was an elite pass catcher with 9 TD's. Chiefs just resigned him and declined Edwards-Helaire's option. ESPN lists him as RB #38 so you can get him real low in drafts.

I don't want to buy a magazine, so I think I'll just stop by B&N and just copy some codes out of some magazines to use their cheatsheets.
