Fantasy Football Blog 2: Important midrounders

Mid-rounders are very important in the realm of fantasy. If your best player fails, usually these guys will help your team win a few games. These mid rounders are usually when you pick a QB and a TE. The best fantasy players are usually the ones that pay attention to these picks the most. On average, a QB racks up 20-30 pts a game and a TE 5-10. If you are drafting players that are below these average point paces, then you will probably not win your league. In this blog, I will explain the reasons why you need at least one solid player in each position and who to look for on draft day.

QB: Risking an extra good WR or RB to get the best QB in your draft is probably worth it. Other than the top 10 or so players in fantasy, never go off of a player's draft number as who you pick. Usually, fantasy experts just rate them based on the projected amount of points they will get. Players that just go off of the lowest number left usually don't win their draft. If you want a good QB on your team, make sure you pick one that a) has good receivers to throw to, b) at least 70% accuracy MOST games and c) moves around in the pocket. Besides RBs, a QB usually puts up the most points on a fantasy team. Don't screw this pickup or else you might lose your league.

Why pick him: Russell Wilson is the most pressured QB in the NFL. Last year in 2017, Russell Wilson led his team in rushing yards by a wide margin. If he doesn't show up for even ONE game, the Seahawks are basically screwed. After completely gutting their roster and losing star players like Cliff Avril, Marshawn Lynch among others the past 2 years, the Seahawks will be relying on him more than ever this year. The reason why I like him the most is that he is always avoiding the direct contact and he scrambles to the sidelines when he can. He is super injury-prone also. If you can, try to get Russell Wilson on draft day.

TE: Ah...the QB's favorite big man to pass to. TE's are a key asset to every team's receiving game. Players like Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce serve as key targets for a team's offense, With the ability to get separation from a defense's linebacker, QB's usually have an easy target to throw to down the field. Also, TE"s serve as an important blocker to open up holes for a running back to run through. TE's almost never fail to produce and continue to catch many balls going their way for needed gains. Try to get a TE that has very good chemistry with their QB as this will lead to around 10-15 points a week for fantasy players.

TE to look for on draft day: Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots

Why pick him: You've seen the big plays when TOM BRADY throws to ROB GRONKOWSKI for a -- yard TD! Without a doubt, Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are the best QB-TE duo in the NFL. The chemistry between them is insane! On top of that, this might be Gronkowski's (and possibly Brady's) last season in the NFL so you know he's going to put up a 1000 yard receiving campaign with like 10 TDS. With Danny Amendola off to the Dolphins, Tom Brady needs Gronk to help in a major way this year. If you are able to get him, you will not regret it at all. Gronkowski is set to have a major season this year and won't stop for nothing,
