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. Just this past week, I had a top-three finish in the whale. 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

Russel Wilson

Lamar Jackson

Tom Brady

Fades

Justin Herbert

Aaron Rodgers

Dak Prescott

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 Bucs receivers I will be targeting Brady for sure. Same idea with Jackson when drafting Brown or Andrews. I refuse to put Allen or Mahomes on my fade list but neither are targets of mine this week. Wilson in the last round paired with one or both of his receivers is my preferred way to go.

Targets

Alvin Kamara

Antonio Gibson

David Montgomery

Leonard Fournette

Elijah Mitchell

Nick Chubb

Fades

Austin Ekeler

Joe Mixon

Saquon Barkley

Aaron Jones

Kamara is the back that I prefer to start my drafts with. Gibson and Montgomery are two of my favorite options this week. Chubb and, if he plays, Mitchell are intriguing late-round options.

Targets

Tyreek Hill

CeeDee Lamb

Stefon Diggs

Chris Godwin

Mike Evans

DK Metcalf

Cordarrelle Patterson

Tyler Lockett

Fades

Davante Adams

Keenan Allen

Deebo Samuel

Ja’Marr Chase

Amari Cooper

Mike Williams

Lamb and Metcalf 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. In my first and possibly only whale entry, I was able to stack a last-round Wilson with a late-round Metcalf and Lockett.

Targets

Rob Gronkowski

Travis Kelce

Mark Andrews

Fades

Kyle Pitts

Darren Waller

George Kittle

TJ Hockenson

I don’t mind Kelce or Andrews, it 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.
