Star players and reliable veterans are always the priority pick. It’s an instinct move for fantasy managers to get a better roster. But for most, especially with starters, they are usually in the unfortunate spot for picking it. They are in situations where these expected players are not on the selection. Sometimes, their chances of picking these players were already snatched by others during drafts or trades.
This incident could be remedied by thorough research on NFL players and making strategies for drafting. Regarding strategies, you can gain an advantage by checking out DFS tips and status on bookies.
