This article focuses primarily on 3-Man snake draft strategy. Reason being is that you can easily apply this information to H2H as well as widen up to 4-Man contests, which is the average size of the daily GPPs. I’m going to break down what I saw in 20-30 drafts today and how we can exploit our opponents using our tools over on DFS Army.
Quick Trends (20 game sample)
- We have 10 different guys that were drafted 100% of the time for a 67% chalk report across 20 drafts this week. With Hopkins having a Q tag on Draft, people tended to fade him as he tumbled down the rankings this week.
- No one was scared off of Watson’s week 1 performance here. Surprisingly though was the 60% lean on Big Ben with the reported minor injury. We’ll see how it shakes out this weekend.
- No surprise after week 1 that Kamara went first in nearly every draft followed by Gurley hot on his heels.
- The surprising move was Connor with an ADP f 4.0 ahead of Gordon at 4.4. While Connor should continue to see the lion’s share of the carries, Gordon is a known commodity here in a good spot. I have these to flipped in my personal order this week.
Weekend Wins We had another MLB take down this weekend as we roll along in all sports.
Draft Projections & Rankings
The default draft rankings by position in Draft for their top positions. While most of these would be solid plays, they are vastly different than our projections and grades we developed in house at DFS Army where take into account many different metrics that these do not. Combining our brand new Starting Lineups Page, Domination Station, Articles, and research station, you can quickly see where some players in absolute smash spots should be drafted higher than what’s on this list.

Strategy
- I’m letting people stack Kamara and Thomas this week again. I’m not a fan of double stacking offenses in Draft since each person represents 20% of your team. Yes they impressed week 1 and they have another good matchup this week. However, anything can happen in the NFL including Tampa Bay hanging 48 on the saints when they were projected to lose by 9.5 points.
- Conversely, I’m moving up to grab Brees when they grab both Saints offensive players as a hedge against them.
- RB is still the king of the yard with draft position. The studs provide a safe floor with tremendous upside.
- Skip DJ this week. He hurt his back and is in a poor matchup.
