Perhaps the greatest skill employed by fantasy footballers is napkin math.  And the weird thing is, it’s useless to study napkin math; you can only get better at it after a couple beers and some takeout. What’s that you say? Door Dash calculated everything for you? Awesome. I suppose you had a computer algorithm choose your fantasy football team, too, eh? Is that how you ended up with Tom Brady as the fifth overall pick? ENYWHEY.

I saw a colleague post something recently about drafting your third wide receiver (WR3) before you take your second running back (RB2). Of course, going receiver-heavy is a strategy that can win, but it flies in the face of longitudinal evidence we’ve been collecting that getting 2 main RBs and 1 TE by round 5 is a strategy that wins everything from NFC tournaments to the RazzBowl to the Underdog Milly Maker tournaments. For your home leagues, it’s equally important to grab RB instead of WR because top RB are scarce.
