fantasy football cheat sheet
Sunday, August 29, 2010
While searching for a free cheat sheet online to use as the basis for my own rankings, I realized that most websites don’t put them in a format that is great for using as a draft day list. So, while I was putting together a really quick cheat sheet for reference during my upcoming drafts, I wanted to share it with our readers to use at least as the basis for their own cheat sheets (it’s a Google Docs spreadsheet):

The first phase in your quest for fantasy greatness is the fantasy football draft, and no tool is more critical to the success of your draft than your fantasy cheat sheet.
The key to drafting well is being more informed than your fellow fantasy owners on draft day. Especially in drafts where draft picks are timed, it is essential that you’re well organized when your number is called. Although each of these methods might work, most dedicated fantasy football owners would rather control their own destiny, creating custom player rankings using the latest information available.
When creating your fantasy football cheat sheets, several factors are of key importance. First and foremost is fantasy point output from the previous season. If you find reputable, current, and reliable rankings online, integrate them into your own cheat sheet to provide a reference point for your own rankings. When formulating your rankings, jot down notes on each player to remind you of any factors to consider when drafting that player. Is this player battling an injury? Consider that in leagues with 12 teams and 15 player rosters, there will be 180 players selected at your fantasy football draft.
In addition to your player rankings you may also want to have other lists on-hand. Cheat sheet creation doesn’t have to cost money or be a time-consuming process. The key is finding the most pertinent player information available, integrating that information into your custom rankings, and using that information wisely on draft day. Happy Drafting!
