How Fantasy Football Advice's Tiering Works.

Every fantasy football season gives us a chance to right last year's wrongs. It is important to get the most up-to-date information about each player's prospects. We need to rank each player so that way we can recognize great drafting opportunities. Also, we do not want to get caught in the tail end of a TE run for example. When we tier players, we are making a SWAG that these players should perform in a similar statistical fashion. In other words, anyone in a respective tier presents the same expected performance as any other person found in that respective tier.

Now, Sleepers come into play when you add the ADP or Average Draft Position along with your tier ranking to determine if you can get a second tiered player (RB) in the fifth round after many 3rd and 4th tiered players had been drafted ahead of him. On the other hand, you can avoid players with high ADPs, but are tiered low.

In one of my many articles on 123fantasyfootball.com, I discuss the first five rounds of a fantasy football draft.
