Top 10 Fantasy Football Picks
Fantasy football is a thrilling way to engage with the NFL season by building a team of players you think will score the most points based on their real-life performance. Different leagues have different scoring systems (e.g., PPR, standard, half-PPR), and this can significantly impact player value.

Running backs (RBs) and wide receivers (WRs) usually score the most points in fantasy, so they are typically drafted in the early rounds. Quarterbacks (QBs) can also be crucial, especially in leagues that give extra points for passing touchdowns or yards. Player value can change quickly due to injuries, trades, or other factors. The Top 10 Fantasy Football Picks is given in the table below.
