Don't Get Caught with Outdated or Irrelevant Cheat Sheets

When it comes to fantasy draft season, everybody likes cheat sheets. Just having the word "cheat" in there sounds like you're getting away with something - like you've got the insider's edge to rely on that nobody else has.

If only.

The fact is, everybody (well, everybody who's serious about winning) is bringing their sacred "cheat sheet" to the draft. The problem is, too many of those so-called cheat sheets are really useless scraps of paper. Ask  yourself:

• • Does my ‘cheat sheet' account for late-season hold-outs? Trades? Contract Disputes?
• • Does my ‘cheat sheet' account for my league scoring system and rules?
• • Does my ‘cheat sheet' account for injuries suffered in the pre-season?
• • Does my ‘cheat sheet' account for whether the championship ends in week 15, 16 or 17?
  

We all like the glossy, full-color magazines and their many photos, predictions and of course the cheat sheets. But those magazines are laid out a couple of weeks in advance, meaning the information is at least weeks to months old by the time your draft arrives! How are you supposed to be successful executing a fantasy draft with outdated, stale information like that?

Most fantasy experts use "tier-based" cheat sheets to help make the right fantasy football picks each every round of the draft. Our NFL analyst, Russ Bliss, who has won dozens of fantasy championships in "Expert Leagues," explains:

Putting players within tier groups is something I'm a big believer in as it takes the guesswork out of which position to go after. Knowing your scoring system is key as tiers will differ from one league to another. I'm always amazed at how many people don't really study their scoring system as they think they're all the same.

Our fantasy football Draft Analyzer automatically calculates the tiers for you based on your league's individual scoring system . Plus, the Draft Analyzer considers real time player updates vs. the static written/outdated "cheat sheets." That means, on any given day, your cheat sheet is obsolete. But by tomorrow morning, our Draft Analyzer will have different draft recommendations. And from an analysis perspective, the recommendations we provide apply to 99% of fantasy league scoring systems.

Russ says, "I really recommend using the tier sheets you can print from the Draft Analyzer results page and using them for cheat sheets.  On the day of your draft, run the Analyzer right before you go and print up your cheat sheets as you head out the door (or log on to your league system if you're doing an online draft)."

What Our Customers Say about the Draft Analyzer Cheat Sheets:

"FFS tiers rock!  Back to back championships using that tool for my draft cheat sheet! " -Tom

"I used the cheat sheet and the draft board from your site for the first time and I was delighted by the outcome."  - Mike

"Fantasy freaks like myself always enjoy going out to buy a great printed guide that is stuffed with sleepers and busts, cheat sheets for almost every scoring system. And some great articles about the rookies. Just remember that much of the information becomes outdated though due to a number of factors including injuries and trades and so forth. So, do not rely on any of these guides to get you through a draft."  - James
