Don't listen to this man, he performs terribly in his league.

Even then, with his injury history, not worth selecting Gronk too early. I actually think Ebron might be a good late pick. It is his second year in a system and he won't be the focus of opposing defenses. I think he can be a TE who catches 50-60 passes and 6-7 TDs.

- Always draft on value given your league's scoring system (standard, PPR, types of flex, bonuses, etc.).
- Running backs are important because the best put up good numbers in weeks 14-16.
- A loss in the first couple weeks is ok because it gives you waiver priority.
- There is at least one FA of nearly every position that will be a top 5-10 scorer. In 2014 Justin Forsett, ODB, Ben Roethlisberger, Mike Evans, and Jeremy Hill were available in a lot of leagues for the first few weeks.
- That player that just put up 30 points out of nowhere will probably not do that the next week.
- Don't mess with suspended players or injured ones. There is better value elsewhere and injuries don't necessarily mean the replacement will be any good.
- Sometimes consistent points are better than having the highest scoring guy.

Unless it is 2007 Braylon Edwards / Derek Anderson. That duo won me my first FF championship.

By 3 weeks in, I'm 1-2 and barely picking up enough FAs to match my injuries, suspensions etc.
7 weeks in I'm 1-6 starting 5 guys who only play 15 plays a day.
By week 10 I am 2-8 with my only other win coming against a team with three quarters of their players out because the guy never checked his roster let alone log in. I have traded all my half decent guys to my friends in the league and taken on their busts for a small % of whatever winnings they get.

I've run my own fantasy league for 17 years now. In the first fifteen years, I won two championship. I started using the fftoolbox ranking system the past two years and I've won two straight championship.
I've never going back. They also have a ranking system where you can input your own league's unique scoring system to rank the players.
You're welcome.
Know you league roles and exploit them, obviously, then mock the fucking hell out of your league.
Learn to know where all the tiers are.

I'm in a two QB league also. A few thoughts that are bound to be incorrect.
1. In a 2 QB league if you have a chance at Luck or Rodgers do it. They are safer than a RB and are a tier above guys like Romo, Newton, Ryan, etc.
2. If you are late in round 1 don't be afraid to draft two stud WRs. They get hurt less and always hold their value.
3. Embrace boring picks. Justin Forsett is a good example of this.
Sometimes I don't even draft one at all (unless it's required). Then I have an extra bench player I can dump to add a kicker but it gives me more time to decide who to keep.
I take as many top-50 guys as possible, regardless of position. This usually yields a chance to either get a good set of RB's or WR's, and then it's off to get a QB, more RB's and WR's/TE's. I draft K's and DEF in the last round, and I usually waive them anyways each week.
