For fantasy football owners, it doesn't get more important than the initial draft.
It is crucial, then, for owners to approach the draft like a typical Sunday for their team—not everything will go according to plan. Like coaches themselves, opponents will have plans of their own and reshape how things turn out.

Understanding a foundational approach and having access to details like cheat sheets and mocks during a live draft puts owners at an advantage.
