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.

Targets
Tom Brady

Lamar Jackson
Aaron Rodgers
Cam Newton
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 Gronk or Godwin I will be targeting Brady for sure. Jackson goes way too early in most drafts. Hurts in the last round is always a great option.

Love starting a draft with McCaffrey, he is my number one player this week. Not looking to fade early running backs this week. I prefer to have my two starters by the end of round three. Hunt is returning and Barkley is banged up.

Johnson and Godwin are two of my favorite targets and they are very obtainable based on their ADP. I really like Samuel this week but I have seen him go way too early in drafts. Elijah is a last-round dart, and will not want to pair him with other New York players. The guys on my fade list come with too much risk this week and happy to avoid them at all costs.

Kyle Pitts
Noah Fant
I don’t mind Kittle or Andrews, really depends on the build and who is on the board. A late-round Gronk is a super option and my preferred way to go.
Good Luck!
