Question

I am the fourth round pick. Should I pick running back or wide receiver first?

Community Answer

I think you mean fourth pick in your snake draft. It's not as simple as saying, "Should I pick a RB or WR first?" Look to your league scoring system: is it PPR or Standard? Also, it will depend on who was picked in spots 1, 2, and 3.

Question

When the regular season ends and the players that I have don't play in the playoffs, what do I do?

Community Answer

The playoffs in real life come after the fantasy football season ends, so you don't have to worry about that.

How many backups do I need?

Community Answer

You don't have to have any, but it's best to have at least 2 in case your main player gets injured.

Question

Can I bench a player that plays Monday night for a Sunday player, and then reactivate him before the Monday night game?

Community Answer

In all the leagues I have played in, which is a lot, this would not be allowed. Once a player plays, he is locked. Therefore, your Sunday player would be locked before you could swap him out with your Monday player.

Question

How do I auto-draft?

ICGIL

Top Answerer

To auto-draft your team, you can simply not appear in the draft or allow auto drafting in the settings of your fantasy football provider. It is, however, not recommended if you want a fighting chance of winning.

There are multiple scoring systems in Fantasy Football, but the most common are standard scoring and PPR (Points Per Reception) scoring (whole or half points).
