PPR Cheatsheets

[Meatscarf 1]

Does anyone have a go to cheat sheet that they use for ppr drafts ? Along with Doug’s big board of course . I always like more than one man’s opinion along with my own insight . 12 man league , ppr, we start 3 wrs and a flex . No bonuses for milestone yardage , thanks guys

My own, I look at Doug’s ranking, look at ADP, I my own, I take three of them with me to my drafts.

Fantasy Pros is pretty much all I use since it's a composite and I will adjust off that based on what I feel.  If I am torn between a few players I will look at other projections (FFToday obviously) and blurbs from ESPN even but that's mostly just for fun.  I have never paid for any FF service in my life.

Do your own analysis. I have been following the so called experts since May. Mike Clay , from ESPN rankings looked good. 
Then I watched the experts draft yesterday with him and Fields,etc, and they drafted like any other person doing their best guess.

Been doing this since 1994. Had a FF radio show in Philly in n 2002-2004. These fake experts know as much as you do.

Do the research. Hope for luck. In a ten team league you have a ten percent chance of winning. In a 12 team league about 8 percent.

Relax and just have fun

I do my own.  

I do usually look at one or two rankings.  pick the one which aligns best with my own thoughts (so I dont have to make as many adjustments) and then tweak that sheet to fit my needs.

there are always certain players where the person doing the rankings doesnt share the same opinion on certain players.    I dont just do this randomly. I do based on my own research and knowledge.

for example my QB ratings differ a fair bit from a lot of the big ranking sheets.   though looking at some I have a sneaky suspicion some of those rankings are done by running a regression based on past performances.    far less labour intensive, but also less accurate when a player has special circumstance surrounding poor production in one year.

when I see a traditionally productive player have a bad year I usually try to find out why and if those conditions that led to the bad year still exist.   if they dont, I usually throw out the bad year and write it off to whatever it is (injury, bad coach, injured starting QB)

so I never go strictly based on the rankings and occasionally will go against those same rankings.

if you do go against what the rankings tell you and you are right, it can mean you  have one or two more impact players on your roster.    a significant advantage.   

I also like to look at cases where one ranking has a player ranked high while another has that same player ranked low.   that usuallly is a good sign you need to do extra research to find out who is right and who is wrong.
