Fantasy Drafting (Part 2)

So yesterday I explained how to draft in the early rounds of your fantasy football drafts.  Well today I will explain how you can draft good to great players in the middle rounds of all fantasy football drafts.  In the early rounds after you have drafted your starting running backs (and maybe a quarterback), you should now look at drafting your receivers.  The reason why you draft them so late is because the sleepers in the draft are good and plentiful.  As well as possibly getting a great player.  Remember when we didn't know who Arian Foster was and you decided to pick him up in mid draft or maybe the end to possibly get an OK player for when your great starters have a bye week?  Well I remember doing the same thing.  I even started him the first week.  He got forty one points and Sports center said the next day they over 80% of people who owned him didn't even play him in there starting lineups.  Another great example of this is Mike Vick.  As a passionate Philadelphia fan I am, I didn't even think he was going to play at all last year.  But I decided to draft him anyway as more of an honorary pick.  Well by the next week, he became a pretty useful player.  Today I will also like to explain some drafting dont'ts.  One thing you really should avoid doing in drafts is to pick a rookie who has a lot of hype around him.  For example Cam Newton.  He isn't even the starter according to the depth chart released yesterday.  Another thing you don't want to do in drafts is to draft a player who might be a starter this year.  An example of this is Tim Tebow.  Everyone expects that the Broncos are going to trade Kyle Orton to the Dolphins.  But as of now, it's not happening.  That's all for today.  Come back tommorow for more draft dont's and late round drafting advice
