Many of you might be gearing up for your first fantasy football draft soon.

Please allow me to help!

I've already done over 200 drafts - real drafts against real people for real money.

Here's what I've learned, who I'm targeting, and strategies I'm implementing. 👇 🧵 First of all, I'm Dave. 👋

I'm a Senior Writer and Show Host at @Footballguys.

In the industry's largest accuracy contest (with 200+ entrants), I've finished #2 and #17 in the last 2 years.

I don't believe in following consensus. I put in work to formulate my own opinions. 🧠

Keeping your ear to the street during the offseason and training camp is one of the best ways to find an edge in your fantasy football leagues.

Let's dive in and examine a valuable piece of news from every team as Week 1 wraps up. 👇 Arizona Cardinals

Marvin Harrison Jr. is "definitely more comfortable," per Kyler Murray.

Harrison's raw production wasn't great in Year 1. But a complex downfield role signals that he's ready to play at the NFL level, setting up a potential Year 2 breakout.

I've done over 300 fantasy football drafts this offseason. Real drafts against real people for real money.

I spent hundreds of hours doing the work so you don't have to.

Here's what I've learned, who I'm targeting, and what strategies I'm implementing.

👇👇👇 If you've got a top-4 pick this year, you want one of these players.

- Christian McCaffrey
- CeeDee Lamb
- Tyreek Hill
- Ja'Marr Chase

Picks 5-9 are easy, too.

- Amon-Ra St. Brown
- AJ Brown
- Justin Jefferson
- Breece Hall
- Bijan Robinson

That's how I've got them ranked.

I pored over the last 30 years of first-round QB data and found out that drafting at No. 1 overall gives teams overwhelmingly better odds at finding success for their franchise.

My gut told me all top-10 picks QBs the same.

But the data painted a very different picture.

🧵👇 "Success" is an arbitrary term and can have a lot of different definitions, so I chose 5 benchmarks that could indicate "success."

- 4,000+ passing yards in a season
- 30+ TDs in a season
- 80+ career starts
- Winning a playoff game
- Making the Pro Bowl

Here's what I found...

You might be drafting a fantasy football team for the first time in 2023 this weekend.

Well, I've already done over 500 drafts against real people for real money.

Here's what I've learned, who I'm targeting, and strategies you can implement to draft like a pro! 👇 There's a clear top-6 this year:

- Justin Jefferson
- Cooper Kupp
- Ja'Marr Chase
- Tyreek Hill
- Travis Kelce
- Christian McCaffrey

If healthy, all will provide reliable floors and immense ceilings. You can't go wrong with any of these guys.

This is how I have them ranked.

If there’s one piece of pre-draft content that you need before you draft, this is it.

A lot of players have seen ADPs swing this offseason.

Here’s chronological list of player spotlight articles I’ve done since March, and how I feel about their new costs. 👇 The writing was in the wall for the Lions to add more target competition for Amon-Ra St. Brown. His best ball ADP has slid from WR23 to WR29 since March. I like him a bit more at cost now, but I prefer Godwin, Metcalf, and London in that range.
