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 in order from favorite to least favorite. 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

Lamar Jackson

Fades

Kyler Murray

Patrick Mahomes

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 Keenan I will be targeting Herbert for sure. Same idea with Brown and Andrews with Lamar.

Running Backs

Targets

Austin Ekeler

Jonathan Taylor

Ezekiel Elliott

Dalvin Cook

Darrel Henderson

Najee Harris

Fades

Christan McCaffrey

D’Andre Swift

Aaron Jones

Joe Mixon

Ekeler is my number one player this week, if you can get him later then pick one consider yourself lucky. As long as he stays on the field then 20+ is always a good possibility. Cook’s injury is one that could go either way, he seems to be practicing in full and sounds like he is 100% now, just know he comes with risk. Elliott seems to be a very good option each week. If fading early running backs Henderson and Harris make great targets and could even make for good flex options.

Wide Receivers

Targets

Davante Adams

Cooper Kupp

Diontae Johnson

Justin Jefferson

Keenan Allen

Ja’Marr Chase

Fades

Tyreek Hill

Mike Williams

DJ Moore

Terry McLaurin

CeeDee Lamb

Adam Thielen

DeAndre Hopkins

Chances are some of the guys on my fade list will have good days, but I am rolling the dice with my targets. Diontae and Chase are two of my favorite targets and they are very obtainable based on their ADP. The guys on my fade list come with too much risk this week and happy to avoid them at all costs.

Tight Ends

Targets

Travis Kelce

Mark Andrews

Fades

Darren Waller

T.J. Hockenson

I was able to get Kelce at pick number eight recently, all day at that price. If missing out on Kelce I recommend making Andrews a top priority.

Good Luck and GO BRAVES!
