Shawn Siegele breaks down his player selections and tactical decisions for attacking any FFPC FantasyPros draft slot and provides links to the full RotoViz redraft strategy sessions.
As we head toward kickoff of the 2024 NFL season this evening, you probably feel excitement tinged with regret for every draft bypassed, every opportunity to win $1 million missed. Here’s the good news: the FFPC will be drafting all the way up to Saturday night.
My favorite drafts often take place after the Thursday night opener. My recommendation is to get several drafts in before kickoff today and take advantage of that final pre-snap enthusiasm and chaos, get several drafts in tomorrow to take advantage of the weirdness and bizarre values that accompany the results of Thursday night, and get several drafts in on Saturday to enter the season with a few teams that were drafted with the most total information available.
After all, your best chance to win $1 million in fantasy football this season comes in the FFPC $350 FantasyPros contest.
