These days there are countless ways to build a fantasy football league and roster. The creation of various formats, like dynasty, redraft, devy, and 2-QB scoring has led to an expansion of how championship-winning rosters are built.
Auctions, blind bid waivers, and trading are examples of how fantasy owners can acquire talent, but the most popular and dependable way to assemble a winning squad is in the draft. For the vast majority of people that participate in fantasy football drafts, the biggest advantage they can gain before and during that draft is to recognize value and to know when to capitalize if a player slides during the draft process.
Acquiring these players, and others that offer a high return on investment can give you the biggest edge toward building the strongest roster possible.
