Matthew J. Jillson (@eatcookcryptos) with a 2019 fantasy draft manifesto. He will follow this up with some specific draft day strategy articles in the coming weeks.
The hangover of last fantasy football season is beginning to subside. Undoubtedly shell shocked by the constant end-of-season barrage of misfortune and underperformance, you must be thinking: “how did we get here and why did it go so wrong?”
The prospect of being a mere toy of the chaos Gods of fantasy football has left you with a pit in your stomach; you run hot at the very thought of last season. Threatening to turn your insides into super-heated venom if you allow it, remember this feeling as the next season quickly approaches.
Remember that you never want to be in this position again and that hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. The Champions of Dumb Luck have had their season. Crossing of the fingers is not a viable strategy for consistent fantasy football domination – through discipline, through The Plan and yeah, maybe a little dumb luck we will prevail.
Conquest — the foundation of which in 2019 starts with developing a draft plan. More than a mere guide of when to pick what, with the proper mindset one will be prepared for the inevitable curve balls life and that damned curse with throw your way.
I’m not here to serve you soft balls — there is plenty of other fantasy football content out there you can turn to for that — the first few rounds of any draft are pretty much no brainers. Matthew Berry sums it up best: “You won’t win your league in the first round, but you can certainly lose it”. Don’t get cute, don’t take chances, you’re not THAT guy, Chad.
The foundation of your Championship will come down to the quality of your drafting in rounds 5 through 11. This is where the gold is mined; Solomon Vandy’s pink diamonds are found. In the remaining few weeks before the 2019 NFL season begins we’re going to take a gander at these rounds and give humble suggestions for you to consider once the Fog of Draft descends. Notable subjects as follows:
- Why wide receivers are similar to Mogwais and money is water
- The dangers of underestimating the value of a good ‘ol tight end
- Stack running backs like Satoshis
- Why IPAs are out and Cats are in
Goblin Town might be in the cards; there is always that chance but you’re not alone in this journey. Join me, and together is how we will explore these mysteries and in the shadows before the light of the upcoming fantasy football season shines, plot our ascension to the title of Fantasy Champion. Victory is life.
