Experts debate Fantasy Football draft strategy
Fantasy experts Andy Behrens and Scott Pianowski handed out free advice during the fifth of six-straight days of Q&As on Facebook Live on the Yahoo Sports page. They kicked things off by talking overall draft strategy and then took your questions.
Scott, who has completed a mind-boggling 55 drafts, is going receiver heavy early. Andy doesn’t want to lock into a particular strategy going into a draft and would rather see how things unfold and react accordingly. He does admit the “swing for the fences” way to go is still sticking with a running back.
