You have to draft at least two players at each position -- yes, even defense and (blech) kicker -- to cover your best-ball roster because you can't make in-season moves. I'm not one to draft two tight ends in most typical leagues, but I will in TE-bonus setups like FFPC contests, the Scott Fish Bowl, and […]

Born to Run: Why You Should Go RB/RB in Rounds 1 and 2

The draft strategies we implement in our fantasy drafts can change from season to season.
