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.

As this season winds down I would like to thank you for reading and wish you luck deep into the NFL season. Many injuries and guys we drafted to be starters are now missing valuable time. On the other hand, the player pool is as thin as ever. It helps to decide in advance if you want to throw darts or play darts.

Quarterbacks

Targets

Justin Herbert

Kyler Murray

Pat Mahomes

Fades

Joe Burrow

Dak Prescott

I am typically waiting until the last round to draft whichever QB falls or whichever one matches my receiving group. For instance, if I have drafted Allen I will be targeting Herbert for sure. I refuse to put Allen on my fade list but he is not a target of mine this week.

Running Backs

Targets

David Montgomery

Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Alexander Mattison

Ronald Jones

Rashaad Penny

Ezekiel Elliott

Devin Singletary

Fades

Najee Harris

Joe Mixon

Saquon Barkley

Aaron Jones

Austin Ekeler

Josh Jacobs

Miles Sanders

James Robinson

D-Mont and CEH are two of my favorite options this week. My ideal draft would be to fade early backs and target receivers. The news just came that Cook was out so Mattison will fly up draft boards. My recommendation would be to fade him because the price will now be too high, but make sure to check older drafts and see if he is available for a swap.

Wide Receivers

Targets

Cooper Kupp

Justin Jefferson

Kennan Allen

Antonio Brown

Dionte Johnson

Russell Gage

CeeDee Lamb

Fades

Stefon Diggs

Tyreek Hill

Ja’Marr Chase

Tee Higgins

Hunter Renfrow

Amari Cooper

Cordarrelle Patterson

Jefferson and Kupp are two of my favorite targets this week, will have to be lucky to get them both. The guys on my fade list come with too much risk this week and I’m happy to avoid them at all costs. Gage is my late-round sleeper of the week. He can be drafted easily in the last round and as your third receiver.

Tight Ends

Targets

Mark Andrews

Rob Gronkowski

Fades

Kyle Pitts

Travis Kelce

An early-round Andrews is a super option and my preferred way to go. I recommend prioritizing one of these two players. Kelce is not likely to play this week.

Good Luck!
