Need Rankings in a hurry? This is all you need! Print this quick One Pager – ONE-PAGE CHEATSHEET (PRINTABLE)
Don’t forget your ADP and DEPTH CHARTS (always updated to the minute)
You know by now that we recommend passing on the top QBs and grabbing two in the very late rounds instead to play the matchups. We have analyzed the schedules and here are the best combos: We call this Quarterback by Committee or QBBC Same with Defenses. Let others waste a pick on the top Defenses and you grab two late and play the matchups each week. DEFBC
If you do grab a stud QB like Aaron Rodgers, you will want to pair him with a QB late in the draft that has a good matchup. IDEAL BYE WEEK QBS
Do you Hate Getting Sniped before your pick? We do too! Get up to the minute ADVANCED ADP, (reserved for our members) so you know exactly where each player is going in the draft.
Lastly, If you have time to prepare, make sure you mock in our Mock Draft World Championships. No better way to practice for the real thing.
2018 DRAFT RANKINGS (always updated to the minute)

Who would you prefer on your Fantasy Football squad: Houston Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins or Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt? Dr. Roto provides his analysis!

Brandin Cooks is now with the LA Rams and Dr. Roto is not willing to spend a fourth round pick on him if he’s just another piece of the offense instead being in the spotlight.
We’ve seen some good from Michael Crabtree, but a lot more mediocrity. In a Ravens offense not known for productive WRs, Dr. Roto recommends looking elsewhere compared to Crabtree’s ADP.
Zach Ertz is a great player but you won’t be able to draft him at a discount after yet another career season. Finding value at TE by waiting on the position allows you to address other needs earlier and that’s Dr. Roto’s strategy during his drafts this year.

2018 NFL BYE WEEKS
Each NFL team plays 16 games out of 17 weeks in the NFL schedule. The game that they don’t play is called their bye week, or “Open Date”. It is important in fantasy football to make sure that your starters and backups do not have the same bye week since one of the primary reasons for drafting backup players to have coverage during the bye week of your starter.

- Week 7: Green Bay Packers, Oakland Raiders, Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks
