Fantasy Nepotism picks are usually good (returners).
Homer picks however . . .

I think it's all about mitigating expectations of who will be available. As I look back at last year, at least for the players I planned on drafting, I got almost all of them I actually wanted. The notable exceptions were Clothier and Wielonski, both of whom were picked the round before I planned on taking them. I consider that a big success! fingers crossed for a repeat drafting performance this year . Good luck everyone!

Just starting my draft research.. Are there still covid years? Or are seniors from last year mostly all done?

To Vup's numerous breakdowns of podium finishes and draft ranks, I really just don't think that the early few rounds actually matter as it relates to skill of the drafter...at least not as people have started to get better at Fantasy. What has been making the difference are the late round picks/sleepers and the players who end up massively exceeding expectations, beyond even what the people who draft them expected. Two examples from last year: Sophie Fischer and Madi Skinner. It's one thing to expect a player to be better year over year, it's another entirely to actually think they'd be THE top fantasy player. If vballfreak808 really expected Fischer to be a 5+ points per set middle, do you really think he'd risk her falling to the 2nd round? doubt it. If uofagrad (as a Texas fan) actually thought Skinner would be the #2 player in overall points per set that he would have let her fall to the (checks notes) 7th round? Sure we have inklings of what a player *could* do, but the fact the certain players actually do it has a lot more to do with luck than it does prophetic skill.
