Fantasy Football Blueprint Shows Players the Right Way to Pick a Cheat Sheet

How traditional cheat sheets are keeping people from winning championships.

Only 8% of fantasy football players win a championship each year – to rise above that stat, players need to go beyond what every other person is doing.

There are numerous free and paid sites that provide fantasy football rankings and projections. Players should find one they trust, even if it’s not ours.

Rankings are good, projections are better. And consensus rankings and projections tend to outperform individual rankings and projections. No matter how good an individual fantasy analyst is, going with the wisdom of the crowd is usually the best approach.

Fantasy football players should find rankings and projections that match their league type: PPR, standard, 2-QB, return yards, etc. And they should use tiers or overall rankings to understand how players compare to other positions. The secret to fantasy football is realizing that true player value is all about how players compare to other players at the same position!

It doesn’t really matter whether a quarterback scores 20 points and a tight end scores 10 points – it only matters how many more points those players scored compared to the other quarterbacks and tight ends. If their opponent’s quarterback also scored 20 points, they haven’t gained anything. But if their opponent’s tight end only scored 5 points, they have a big advantage! With the right cheat sheet, that concept is how a fantasy football player can unlock maximum value on draft night.

A cheat sheet that can be customized to league settings is an absolute must. People that show up to a draft with a generic list of players are already behind. They should be using a custom cheat sheet that considers the following things.

Is this just a list of players or will this help find value during the draft? Does it incorporate Average Draft Position (ADP)? Does it help plan several picks in advance?

Will it be easy (and fast) to use during the draft or does it require fumbling around with multiple pages, constantly moving between sheets? Is it billed as a “one-page” cheat sheet with overall rankings, but then requires someone to also get a separate sheet with positional rankings?

Does it help plan strategies before the draft? Does it allow a person to see where their picks will be and who is expected to be available at those picks? Does it visibly show where the player value gaps are so a person can plan several picks in advance? Being able to see that there are several wide receivers coming up, but not many running backs, can allow a person to make the most optimal selection.

Does it use value-based drafting or is it points based? Customizing cheat sheets to the number of starters at each position is a critical step that most people miss! That’s the foundation of value-based drafting and will result in drafting maximum value.

Understanding these concepts is how some people finish a draft with five (or more) players ranked in the top-three rounds.

Doesn’t seem possible, but with these tips it is!
