I won't go draft slot by draft slot, but I'll break down how you should approach at least your first few picks from the early, middle, and late parts of the draft order. Once you hit Round 5 or so, your approach should be based more on team needs and draft flow than any specific plan, but hopefully this can get you started on the right path.

Those are the five best hitters in Fantasy entering , with each carrying elite potential in at least four categories -- and all should contribute something in steals. I'd like to get a starting pitcher with my second pick, and you could have the likes of Walker Buehler , Aaron Nola , Max Scherzer , Luis Castillo , and Jack Flaherty available in that range.
Scherzer is my favorite of the group and Buehler is last for me, but you can't really go wrong with any of them, and doubling up in Rounds 2 and 3 is a totally viable option.
Having a five-category contributor with your first pick makes it a little easier to stomach passing on a hitter until your next pick in the range.
Though if I do that, I'm probably only taking another two pitchers in the first rounds. I want four in my first 10 picks, ideally, but if I got two legitimate aces, I'm more willing to wait a little longer for my No.
The deeper you get in the first round, the less control you have over who you'll be able to pick. If one of those top-five hitters drops to No. If Jacob deGrom is there instead, he's the pick. That's my decision-making process for the No. If the top five hitters and deGrom are gone, I'm going back to the hitter well here, with either Jose Ramirez or Trea Turner. Ramirez's swing looks completely fixed after his weird funk from the second half of to the All-Star break, and he was the No.
Turner is the speed specialist of the first round, but he seems to have taken a step forward as a hitter in recent years, posting a. If he's a. My preference here would be deGrom, and I'd like to pair him up with another high-volume starter within the first four rounds -- Max Scherzer in Round 3 would be ideal for me.
If I pulled that off, I wouldn't mind having just those two in the first 10 rounds while I load up on hitting. If I go for Turner or Ramirez, then the approach is a lot like it is for taking one of the top five hitters: You could double up on pitchers in Rounds 2 and 3 rather easily.
If you do take Turner, you might want to focus on grabbing a high-end slugger pretty early on to make up for his just-OK power profile. You could also snag Gerrit Cole or Shane Bieber in the first and follow the same approach as with deGrom, and though I have them ranked 11th and 12th overall, I've reached for them in the middle of the first before.
But my preference would be to get Cole or Bieber here. If I can, the first round was a success in my eyes, especially if I get the chance to pair them with Freddie Freeman , Trevor Story , or Christian Yelich. If they aren't there -- and their ADP are both inside the top nine -- Yelich is my priority.
I think he very well could be the No. This is your cheat sheet during drafts or the regular season, for quickly finding mid-to-late round draft values or waiver wire pickups. This same list can be found in our free app. Stephenson is now bound to be a trendy late round pick at the Read More.
