We've all heard the same old time-tested fantasy adages before -- "Draft your guys," "Just pick good players on good teams," and my personal favorite, "ADP is comprised mostly by losers." While these macro strategies will generally set you on the right path directionally, not nearly enough focus goes toward a positive start. It's important […]
