🛠 Tools & Resources

BeerSheets by Kevin Genson

JL has been using BeerSheets for years. It’s a helpful guide for visualizing where Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) diverge from Average Draft Position (ADP), floor/ceiling, & positional scarcity. Follow the creator, Kevin Genson, on Twitter for the latest updates.

Late Round Draft Guide by JJ Zachariason

You know we love us some JJ here at FYF. If you only buy one draft guide/kit, purchase JJ’s Late Round Draft Guide. It’s so much more than a list of rankings; it’s a masterclass on fantasy football strategy, giving you the tools to decimate your league mates in 2022 & beyond. It’s also just really well made.
