  3. 3. Deshaun Watson, Houston Texans: Watson's rookie season was cut short by an injury, but he showed enough promise to be considered a top-5 QB. With a full season under his belt, Watson could be a steal in your draft.

The Fantasy Football Draft Strategy Enchantment

Now that you know the top players and sleepers to target, it's time to talk strategy. Here are some tips to help you dominate your fantasy draft:

Wait on QBs: In most fantasy leagues, you can wait on drafting a QB until the later rounds. With so many talented QBs in the league, there's no need to reach for one in the early rounds. Draft RBs early: Running backs are the lifeblood of fantasy football, and you should target them in the early rounds. The drop-off from the top RBs to the rest of the position is significant, so don't wait too long to draft one. Draft WRs later: Wide receivers are a deep position in fantasy, and you can wait to draft them until the middle or even late rounds. With so many talented WRs in the league, there's no need to reach for one in the early rounds. Draft a TE late: Tight ends are a thin position in fantasy, but you can wait to draft one until the late rounds. With so many talented WRs and RBs available, there's no need to reach for a TE in the early rounds. * Draft a kicker and defense in the last round: In most fantasy leagues, kickers and defenses are an afterthought. You can wait to draft them until the last round, as there's little difference between the top options and the rest of the position.
