How to draft a winning fantasy team

Your fantasy team relies heavily on what number draft pick you have, but how do you create a winning team regardless of your draft position?  If you acquire an early draft position, it would be in the best interest of your team to draft a running back. In most fantasy football leagues, there are anywhere from two to three slots for a running back on a roster.  Since there are less quality running backs to choose from, there becomes more competition to receive a top running back.  The next spot to fill should be a quarterback, because they tend to be more consistent in scoring points.  Once you have your first two picks, your next choice should most likely be the best available wide receiver or running back.  Many analyst review player’s stats and potential point leaders to make your decisions easier, so self-research isn’t exactly necessary.  Your following roster should be filled up with a tight end, defense, and kicker, in that order.  This draft order may be altered tremendously if you have a late draft pick.  In this case, it would be in your best interest to choose a quarterback first, once all of the top running backs have been chosen.  You give up a key spot in your lineup doing this, but it allows you to receive some high profiled players.  Doing this type of selection, will help you stay above the curve and get some top position players for your team. Although these are just loosely based guidelines to drafting a winning team, the decisions you make will be largely based off the picks of your competition.
