The Early Rounds (1-3): Secure your “Axis of Stability.” This is not about conspiracy; this is about securing proven, high-volume assets. We’re talking bell-cow RBs and target-hog WRs. Do not get cute here. The conspiracy unfolds later.
The Middle Rounds (4-7):This is where the conspiracy lives. Target the players with “ambiguous backfields,” the WRs on teams with new quarterback “upgrades,” and the post-hype sleepers everyone forgot. This is your high-upside, league-winning tier.
The Late Rounds (8+): Go hunting for narratives. The rookie behind an aging veteran. The backup RB on a team with a fragile starter. The tight end with a new coach who “loves to use the position.” This is lottery-ticket territory.
Quarterback & Tight End Doctrine: Unless you have a shot at the absolute elite (Mahomes, Allen, Andrews, Kelce), practice strategic patience. The difference between QB5 and QB12 is often negligible. Load up on RBs and WRs first. Stream these positions based on matchups if you must.
