0:00.0 | Good morning, friends and enemies in today's video. We're diving into some strategy and not like |
0:06.6 | the strategy you see all over YouTube right now. We're not talking about players that you specifically |
0:10.9 | need to target. We're not talking about, hey, draft this position and this round and that type of |
0:15.2 | strategy. We're going to talk about nine unspoken rules that I think the best fantasy players use |
0:20.4 | when drafting and more often than not |
0:22.3 | will lead you in a very good spot to make your playoffs. These are kind of questions that I think |
0:26.1 | fly under the radar or thoughts that fly under the radar that I want to give you my particular |
0:30.0 | thoughts on. These are comments that I get or questions that I get sometimes that I think are much |
0:34.9 | more under the radar, not as talked about in the industry that I kind of want to just give my thoughts on. And we'll start from the very top. And this is |
0:41.8 | stacking. Now, what I mean by stacking is not necessarily drafting a quarterback with a past |
0:47.1 | catcher on the team. I mean the idea of taking two players on the same team, two skill players on the |
0:53.6 | same team. So is it okay if I draft a wide |
0:56.0 | receiver and a running back from the same team? Is it okay if I draft a tight end and a wide |
0:59.8 | receiver from the same team? That sort of stack. I get that question a lot. And I think the right |
1:03.7 | way to think about it is this. I think it's perfectly fine to draft two offensive skill players |
1:08.5 | on the very same team. With a caveat, we have to project that team to be a very high scoring offense. I think they need to be a top 10 scoring offense if that's the strategy we want to approach. This also matters where you're drafting players. If there are two guys on the same team that we are drafting within the first six rounds, it's a lot more expensive to do that than a guy who's going |
1:27.6 | in the fourth round and a guy who's going in the 13th round. So we'll break this rule down a little bit more. If we look at the top 10 scoring offenses from last year, you've got Detroit up there, number one, 33 points per game, Denver down there at number 10, 24 points per game. And listen, none of these rules are exact sciences. That's just not the way fantasy football is. They play 17 games. |
1:27.9 | It's a very small sample size. Anything can happen. But more game. And listen, none of these rules are exact sciences. That's just not the way fantasy football is. |
1:44.8 | They play 17 games. It's a very small sample size. Anything can happen. But more often than not, if you were to follow the rules that I'm going to give you in this video, you're going to put yourself, you're going to put really nice bumpers on your team and have like a really solid foundation of the way you're building a team. I would be fine for the most part drafting two players on any of these teams in the same offense. |
1:42.2 | Right? |
1:42.4 | That's pretty obvious. |
1:43.2 | They score a lot of points, |
