If you aren’t familiar, entrance fees to the largest-participated High Stakes Fantasy Football leagues are around $1600 per team. The big three are the FFPC, FFWC, and NFFC. I’ve sat in high stakes drafts with some of the best fantasy players in the world including founder of the FFPC, Dave Gerczak when we played in the now defunct World Championship of Fantasy Football (WCOFF).

Tips for a Successful Dynasty Startup Draft
