When it comes to fantasy football, you better hit on your first few picks the day of the draft. Just like the NFL Draft, the first round consists of the most talented players in the league that will form the bedrock of you team for the entire season. The likes of Jonathan Taylor and Cooper Kupp are expected to smash statistically, hence them being top selections when fantasy drafts roll around before the season.
However, the real advantage is found in how well you hit on your picks in the later rounds of the draft. Just like the Steelers selecting Antonio Brown in the sixth round or Tom Brady being picked in the sixth round at #199 overall, finding a late-round gem can be the difference of your team being a playoff hopeful to a championship favorite.
