Fantasy Football Draft Strategy: How to Pick From Each Slot

Entering your fantasy football draft, it's important to have a plan, and where you are picking in the draft will have a massive impact on your plan.

If you're picking 12th, the players who you'll have a chance to pick -- at not only 1.12 and 2.01 but every pick throughout the draft -- will look a lot different than the players who are available to someone picking first. You'll want to have a general approach in mind for each slot so that you know in which rounds it's advantageous to load up at which positions, and that mindset changes based on where you pick.

At FanDuel Research, we've got you covered.

Our staff has taken the time to map out optimal approaches to drafting from each slot in your draft so that you can know what to expect and how you should play things based on your specific circumstance. Each of those articles is linked below.

Once you've got that all mapped out, be sure to circle back and check out our fantasy football projections, powered by numberFire, to see which specific players stand out at each position. We've also got gobs of fantasy football content -- including fantasy football bold predictions and fantasy football sleepers -- to help you prepare for your season.
