There’s a relative level of pressure when making a first-round pick in fantasy football drafts.
Pick a stud and you have a solid foundation to your squad. Draft a bust and it’s a tough task to overcome.
Fantasy Football Championships are not one solely during the draft and first-round fantasy football selections are not the only reason a team wins. But they could be a very big factor of why a team can’t win.
The goal with a first-round pick isn’t to get the player that will finish at the top of their position. Drafting Christiaan McCaffrey number one overall and then seeing him finish as the fourth-ranked running back at the end of the year doesn’t mean it was the wrong pick.
