A huge fantasy football draft weekend is right around the corner. It’s time to lock in.
We’ve spent the entire spring and summer analyzing, researching, and projecting which offenses and players will succeed in fantasy this season. Now it’s time to put the plan into action.
Here are a few of the players that John Hansen, Scott Barrett, and Ryan Heath all agree you should be drafting in your leagues:
Your Ultimate Draft Guide 📚
Round 1-3 Target
Omarion Hampton — Both John and Ryan have Hampton as a target in the early 2nd Round, though John notes he may not bother if he already drafted an RB in Round 1. Ryan sees him as a worthy risk/reward swing in new Chargers OC Mike McDaniel’s offense.
Round 4-6 Target
Zay Flowers — John has Flowers as a “The Twelve” upside target, Scott especially likes him compared to his WR19 ADP on Sleeper, and Ryan similarly has him ranked inside his top-15 WRs and top-32 overall. That makes him a strong value at the 3/4 turn or later for all three analysts.
Round 7-9 Target
Trevor Lawrence — John, Scott, and Ryan all list Lawrence as a target, and he also makes John's "The Twelve" upside targets list. Ryan specifies that he often takes Lawrence if he falls to Round 9, but wouldn't otherwise force the pick, as he also likes the later punt options at the position.

Our auction expert Drew Davenport used Scott’s Draft Guide to create an attack plan for each position.
Top Tips
You need to have Scott Barrett’s player rankings in front of you during the auction.
Pay attention to the spots where there is a tier drop-off in relative value.
Have a list of the host site’s values in front of you. For example, Sleeper has more aggressive prices than Yahoo.
Exodia Players
This is the fun part. Not only can we easily roster all five of the Exodia players, but we’ll have room to spend heavily at other positions. Getting all five of the Exodias one of the reasons auctions are so appealing.
