Things You'll Need:
- A fantasy football team

Step 1
Everything fantasy football starts with the fantasy draft. If you want to gain an edge in fantasy football, it is important you have a good draft. Your draft position matters, but who you draft is what matters most.
-
Step 2
Do your research on fantasy football players before you have your draft. While you probably know about certain Pro Bowl players that you think will be good picks, certain players have more fantasy values than others. Many websites such as ESPN or Yahoo! have good mock drafts available telling you who is a good player to draft in a given round.
-
Step 3
Your first round fantasy football draft pick should almost always be a running back. Running backs have the potential to net you the most amount of points in a given season, so the best running backs get picked fast. Many times, people will choose a second running back in the 2nd round, though a good quarterback (i.e. Tom Brady) may be worth it in the 2nd round if they are still available. Picking the right players will definitely help you gain an edge in fantasy football.
-
Step 4
A good fantasy football draft template to follow is: RB, RB, QB, WR, WR, RB, WR, TE, QB, RB, WR, TE, Defenses, Kickers, in that order. Since running backs, quarterbacks, and wide receivers net you the most points in fantasy football, you want to make sure you have a good stockpile of the best players.
-
Step 5
Now that your draft is over, make sure you consistently update your lineup before every game. Keep an update on injuries and what defenses your players are playing against in a given week. Also watch the waiver wire to see if any players are on waivers that can give you a good points boost. Following all these tips will really help you gain an edge in fantasy football
