Draft position creates significant anxiety for fantasy football managers due to worries about missing preferred players, unknown slot assignments, and ridicule over selecting a first-round bust. The content presents an outline of optimal candidates from each draft spot, recommended combinations for the first two picks, and suggested ideal selections tailored to 10-team ESPN standard PPR leagues. Each draft slot includes a "players unlocked" indicator showing the earliest pick at which a player becomes a reasonable consideration. Emphasis is placed on starting rosters strongly in rounds one and two, with top options highlighted for informed decision-making.
No one needs more stress in their lives. Strange as it may sound, among the more anxiety-inducing parts of the fantasy football experience centers around one's draft position. Whether it's fretting that your most desired player won't be there by the time you get to pick, the bother of not knowing your slot until an hour beforehand (as is the case in ESPN default leagues), or the fear that you'll pick the inevitable "first-rounder who is a bust" and be openly ridiculed by your counterparts, we collectively exhaust far too much energy sweating this particular topic.
Thankfully, you've come to the right place. It's here where I annually walk you through the twists and turns of your draft's first two rounds, helping ease your mind and maximize your chances at starting your team off strong. After all, we all know that age-old fantasy mantra: "You can't win your league in the first round, but you can certainly lose it." Below is an outline of the specific candidates for selection from each draft spot, the potential combinations for your first two picks, and I offer my ideal selections from each slot in your league.
This edition covers 10-team ESPN standard leagues with PPR scoring. Under each draft slot, you'll find a "players unlocked" section, which highlights the earliest pick at which you should consider selecting that player (this does not mean that you should select him, but rather that you could if you wish to).
