Make sure you have some sort of cheat sheet to work off of and keep track of players picked. Online drafts make this easy, but a live draft doesn't have that ability.
Also, be aware of bye week...you don't want half your starters off one week with no replacements. Try to stagger your byes among your starters so no more than 2 of your main starters are off.

GETTING DOWN TO CRUNCH TIME
If you play fantasy football, chances are your draft is very soon...alot of good tips last week on the Locker Room...audio is archived at shoresportsnetwork.com.
A couple of tips....do a mock draft or two ahead of time - this will give you a feel for what will happen; check latest news prior to draft - I got burned once by a late injury report by not checking; Have a gameplan in mind for draft - Jeff Pasquino said it best, plan from the end up - figure out where you grab D's and PK's and fill with RB's and WRs.
Stay cool and have fun! This is the first step of a marathon...you can help yourself win in a draft, but you can't lose if you prepare properly.

The month of August means back to school shopping and prepping for FANTASY FOOTBALL! I will attempt to guide you thru the upcoming season with some tips and tricks to do well. I've done OK over the years...in the playoffs just about every year.
Here's some starters...
1) Get a magazine or two - which the info may be old in them, it gives you some basic info to prepare.
2) Subscribe to a service - There are alot of them, I use two Fasntasyguru.com and footballguys.com. I can vouch for both with a number of tools and tips which will work.
3) Get your drafts days set....clear your calendar for those special nights...nothing beats it for the experience of playing fantasy football...
4) Have fun!
I'm off on vacation next week...got my magazines ready to read on the plane and by the pool.
