🏈 2025 Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet

📋 Draft Strategy (Quick Reminders)

  • Rounds 1–2: Lock in elite RB/WR. Don’t reach for QB or TE unless it’s a unicorn (e.g., Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce in his prime).
  • Rounds 3–5: Target reliable WR2s, RB2s, or an elite QB if they fall.
  • Rounds 6–9: Depth pieces, upside RB handcuffs, breakout WRs.
  • Rounds 10+: Sleepers, rookie dart throws, backup QB/TE.
  • Final Rounds: Defense & kicker (stream based on matchups).
