Fantasy football draft-day rules to live by

These rules are in no particular order, and they apply to all levels of experience among fantasy owners. Just as important as the “what you should do” to create a winner in fantasy drafting, avoiding simple pitfalls is a must.

1) Living in the past: Assuming successes and failures from last year automatically will carry over to this year’s results is a quick trip to Loserville. Each year is brand new and requires a reset of the old memory bank.

2) Stay sober: While it may seem silly, don’t let one draft of hard boozing affect an entire season of fantasy football. Party it up after the draft and celebrate your soon-to-be championship roster.

3) No one likes a homer: Well, except for that Homer. Heavily drafting players from your favorite team tends to lead to an entire season of hangover-filled mornings. This also includes taking a specific player over a better option just because that player is on your favorite team. Be objective.

Social Media reacts to RB Bijan Robinson’s early preseason action

Bijan looked like he belonged in his preseason performance against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is NFL-ready. It comes as no surprise to Texas faithful but it doesn’t make Robinson’s performances any less entertaining. Visualizing Bijan in an NFL uniform is making burnt orange supporters proud.

The former Texas Longhorns running back and No. 8 overall pick in this offseason’s NFL draft made waves in his appearance against the Cincinnati Bengals. The day saw him make defenders miss running between the tackles. It also featured Robinson as a receiver where the Falcons could give him a high volume of touches.

As you might expect, social media took notice of his strong showing and highlight reel. Here’s a look at some of the best reactions from Robinson’s abbreviated performance against the Cincinnati Bengals.

College fantasy football isn’t like the NFL version – a lot more work, 131 teams to figure out, MASSIVE matchup blowouts to exploit – but it’s still fine.

In general, no matter how you choose to do this, here are some general tips.

1. Just like you do with NFL fantasy football take the stars first – best player available – and worry about positions later. However …

2. Wide receivers are at a premium. Even in today’s day and age, the position isn’t all that deep, but …

3. Running backs are still the biggest deal. Quarterbacks are deep, but getting the top RBs can make or break your team. And finally …

4. Take monster swings late. Take the chances on the big players who should blow up if things break right. Kenneth Walker, Kenny Pickett, Jaxson Smith-Ngiba – they were hardly top draft picks last year.

From the RotoWire College Fantasy Draft we were a part of – check out the RotoWire College Fantasy Football Draft Kit – here’s how it all shook out.
