Each week I am going to outline my plan geared toward Drafters.com’s weekly best-ball contest. This information can also be used at other sites that run similar contests but for me personally, I play at Drafters.com. This information could be used in the H2H contests, but it is mainly referring to GPPs and six-person drafts. H2H takes some different strategies, such as really paying attention to the slots that your opponent fills up first.

This week, the site is offering the normal GPPs including the “shark”, “whale”, and “splash”. Below I will list my targets and fades. I can not stress this enough, BE STRATEGIC! If a player makes my fade list I will 100% be fading. When depositing at Drafters.com please consider using the promo code “snatchers”. Let’s make some money this season and as always thanks for reading.

Quarterbacks

Targets

Josh Allen

Dak Prescott

Lamar Jackson

Jalen Hurts

Fades

Aaron Rodgers

Justin Herbert

Russell Wilson

I am typically waiting until the last round or two to draft whichever QB falls or whichever one matches my receiving group. For instance, if I have drafted Lamb I will be targeting Prescott for sure. Allen goes way too early in most drafts but I am willing to take him if he falls far enough during the right build. Please give me Hurts in the last round in every single draft.

Running Backs

Targets

Christian McCaffrey

Jonathan Taylor

Austin Ekeler

Dalvin Cook

Joe Mixon

AJ Dillon

David Montgomery

Fades

Najee Harris

Alvin Kamara

Ezekiel Elliott

Nick Chubb

James Conner

D’Andre Swift

Love starting a draft with McCaffrey, he is my number one player this week. If fading early running backs Mixon and Dillon make great targets and could even make for good flex options as well. David Montgomery is back and this is the week he reminds everyone, all in.

Wide Receivers

Targets

Davante Adams

CeeDee Lamb

Keenan Allen

Diontae Johnson

Ja’Marr Chase

Deebo Samuel

Jaylen Waddle

Fades

DK Metcalf

Justin Jefferson

A.J. Brown

A short fade list this week, even though top options like Hill and Diggs are not targets they certainly don’t belong on the fade list. Johnson and Allen are two of my favorite targets and they are very obtainable based on their ADP. I really like Lamb this week but I have seen him go way too early in drafts. Waddle is a last-round dart, and will not want to pair him with other Miami players. The guys on my fade list come with too much risk this week and happy to avoid them at all costs.

Tight Ends

Targets

Darren Waller

Mark Andrews

Mike Gesicki

Fades

Travis Kelce

TJ Hockenson

I don’t mind Waller, Andrews, or even Kittle, really depends on the build and who is on the board. A late-round Gesicki is a super option and my preferred way to go. Kelce does not look right and after a donut from Hockenson last week it is even harder to trust him.

Good Luck!
