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

Tom Brady

Jalen Hurts

Fades

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.

Running Backs

Targets

Christian McCaffrey

Jonathan Taylor

Najee Harris

Austin Ekeler

Dalvin Cook

Joe Mixon

Fades

Nick Chubb

Saquon Barkley

James Robinson

Darrell Henderson

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.

Wide Receivers

Targets

Cooper Kupp

Davante Adams

Deebo Samuel

Keenan Allen

Diontae Johnson

Chris Godwin

DJ Moore

Elijah Moore

Fades

Justin Jefferson

A.J. Brown

Mike Evans

Ja’Marr Chase

Jaylen Waddle

Cordarrelle Patterson

Michael Pittman

Brandin Cooks

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.

Tight Ends

Targets

George Kittle

Mark Andrews

Rob Gronkowski

Fades

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!
