The bye week strategy is where you take all players with the same bye  week.  Basically you take the loss on that bye week but every other week  has the team at full strength.  This season there are 6 teams on bye  for week 7 and all of them are excellent fantasy teams:  MIN, DAL, BUF,  LAC, PIT & JAX.  I use the bye week filter on My Perfect Fantasy  Draft to see what kind of team we can build and it turns out pretty well  even if I went off of the strategy for two of my picks.   Thanks for listening!

My Perfect Fantasy Draft calculates a VORC score  (Value-Outlook-Reliability-Consistency) to help you compare players  against each other on an apples to apples basis.  I give you the 3  highest scoring players in the second round along with the lowest  scoring player.  Thanks for listening!

Last week I did a draft where I only took contract year players and it turned out very well.  This week, I'm going to only take players in either their first or second season in the NFL.  I'm using My Perfect Fantasy Draft with the  Show Me Only filter to set my list.  Will this also be a highly rated  team?  I start out drafting Jonathan Taylor and Clyde Edwards-Helaire  and go from there.   Thanks for listening!

A handcuff is a backup to a starting RB.  I'm usually not big on drafting them but these three have tremendous opportunity because the guy in front of them gets injured a lot.  I also love where these guys are on the draft board, mostly a last round draft pick for your team meaning they are extremely low risk.  Should the starter get injured, the workload will fall to them and they immediately become fantasy viable.  Thanks for listening!

My first live draft of the season.  I'm going to do a bunch of these because once the draft is done, you don't need to do anything else.  There are no trades, pickups or managing in best ball.  It's draft and then watch how the team does during the 2021 season.   Yahoo Best Ball leagues are half PPR, with 10 teams.  I am at pick #4.

This is my first time drafting for a Best Ball team and the rules are a little different.  For one thing, you don't need to worry about consistency when it comes to your players because you don't have to roster anybody, the highest scoring players will get rostered into your starting positions.  The draft goes very well and I love my team and the upside it offers.  I'm going to be doing more of these in the coming months.

One of the cool things about my app is it makes it easy to try different  strategies.  I've made no secret that I love contract year players  because of the upside they offer.  My Perfect Fantasy Draft marks all  the players who have their rookie contract expiring in either 2021 (gold  dollar sign) or 2022 (silver dollar sign).  I use a filter to only show  those players that have the gold or silver dollar sign and try to only  draft those players.This is a draft on FantasyPros using their draft  simulator.  Half PPR, 12-team, pick #4.  Although I would have done some  things different, the team turns out very well and I would love to  bring a team like this into the regular season.  

My draft tool, My Perfect Fantasy Draft, rates all players based on a  VORC score (Value-Outlook-Reliability-Consistency).  These three players  rate poorly on at least one of these 4 key stats and because of that,  their score suffers and this indicates you should just stay away because  the risk is too high for your fantasy team.

There are a number of players currently marked with an injury  designation.  Some are for injuries suffered last season, some are  recovering from surgery and some are more recent.  One thing you can be  sure of is that no coach will be honest about the actual health of their  player.  Here's how I deal with injured players and when I consider  them back to full health.

The draft tool, My Perfect Fantasy Draft, is finally ready to go and I  take it on a test drive for my first mock draft of the season.  I'm the  first pick in a 12-team, Half PPR draft.  I conduct this draft on the  FantasyPros Draft Simulator. I call the first pick the blessing and the  curse because if you nail that first pick, your team is golden but if  you blow it your team will be fighting an uphill battle all season  (think about the people who took CMC or Saquon first in last year's  draft).     The draft goes very well and I end up with some excellent value players.   FantasyPros rated this team 91 out of 100.  Not bad for a first try.   I'd be super happy to take this team with me into the regular season.

The Julio Jones Trade has a huge impact on both the Atlanta and  Tennessee franchises.  I review all the major players to see if they're a  winner or a loser as a result of this trade and there are three players  that I really like post trade but none of them are Julio Jones!  Thanks for listening.
