Best strategy for fantasy football draft 2023

Fantasy managers who want to win their league championship are required to enter their draft day with a strategy. This is the most important event of the season, so it's crucial to get it right. While the format and scoring settings can have a major impact on draft boards, the best managers go into their drafts with a plan, while also remaining flexible.

One of the best strategies in standard season-long leagues is to target the best available running backs at the top of the draft. The rest of the positions are easier to find production later in the draft, but missing out on an elite running can potentially derail a season. After landing at least one top running back, managers can then fill out their rosters with upside players and preferable options.

One of the best ways to find the upside is by targeting players in high-powered offenses projected to have a prominent role. It's also always important to have customized draft rankings handy to make sure a player is selected with the proper ADP value. Waiting for too long can cause a manager to miss out on a targeted player while pouncing too soon decreases a player's fantasy value.
