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

Justin Herbert

Pat Mahomes

Tom Brady

Fades

Lamar Jackson

Kyler Murray

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 I will be targeting Brady for sure. Jackson goes way too early in most drafts. Herbert in the last round paired with one of his receivers is my preferred way to go.

Running Backs

Targets

Jonathan Taylor

Austin Ekeler

Joe Mixon

Antonio Gibson

Elijah Mitchell

James Conner

Leonard Fournette

Fades

Alexander Mattison

Najee Harris

Saquon Barkley

James Robinson

Darrell Henderson

Mixon is the back that I prefer to start my drafts with. If I’m not able to get one of the top three, Gibson and Mitchell are two of my favorite options this week. Mattison has way too much hype this week and I don’t think Henderson will play.

Wide Receivers

Targets

Tyreek Hill

Keenan Allen

Adam Thielen

Diontae Johnson

Chris Godwin

Cordarrelle Paterson

Brandin Cooks

Fades

Justin Jefferson

Cooper Kupp

Mike Evans

Ja’Marr Chase

Michael Pittman

Hill and Allen are two of my favorite targets this week. The guys on my fade list come with too much risk this week and I’m happy to avoid them at all costs.

Tight Ends

Targets

Rob Gronkowski

Travis Kelce

Mark Andrews

Fades

Kyle Pitts

George Kittle

TJ Hockenson

I don’t mind Kelce or Andrews, really depends on the build and who is on the board at what time. A late-round Gronk is a super option and my preferred way to go.

Good Luck!
