How to Approach Your Draft
Treat your draft as the foundation of a 17-week portfolio. Avoid drafting for last year's stats. Anchor to projected role and target share, not narrative.
Build a roster you can adapt — not one that requires every bet to hit.
Understanding ADP and Where Value Hides
ADP is consensus, and consensus drags toward safety. Value lives one tier above and one tier below the median pick — that's where opinion divides.
Drafting against ADP requires conviction. Use Field Vision's tiered rankings to map it.
Positional Scarcity and Draft Tiers
Identify when a tier is about to break. The replacement-level gap between RB12 and RB18 is enormous; between WR24 and WR36 it isn't.
Draft tiers, not players. Take the last name in a tier before it collapses.
Zero RB, Hero RB, and Hybrid Strategies
Zero RB exploits hit-rate concentration at WR early; Hero RB locks one workhorse and pivots. Both work — pick the one your draft slot allows.
Strategy follows draft slot, not the other way around.
Drafting for Your Specific League Settings
PPR vs. half-PPR vs. standard shifts WR/RB value dramatically. Bonus scoring shifts QB and TE. Read your settings carefully before round one.
A great pick in PPR is sometimes a bad pick in standard. Know your scoring.
In-Season Roster Management
Manage your bench like a venture portfolio. Hold one or two lottery tickets, drop dead weight after Week 4, and don't over-stream defenses.
Trim ruthlessly. Bench spots are scarce.
How to Win the Waiver Wire
FAAB allocation is the difference between champions and the league. Spend big on locked-in volume, never on hope.
Spend FAAB on role changes, not on names.
Trade Strategy and When to Be Aggressive
Sell early on hot starts at thin positions. Buy when injuries create panic. Trade your strength for your weakness — never your weakness for marginal upgrades.
Trade for tiers, not for points.
How to Use Field Vision All Season
Lead with First Read for sharp slate context, lean on Waiver Wire for usage shifts, run Vision Plays and Slate Vision for DFS edges, and check Game Environments before kickoff. Build the routine.
The edge isn't in the data — it's in the repetition.
