Top 2021 Fantasy football picks

The Fantasy football draft bible includes SportsLine's 2021 Fantasy football strategy for each type of draft:

Winning snake drafting strategies: Try not to speculate too much on what will happen ahead of you. It's better to queue up groups of players starting with the first pick and simply grab the best one when it's your turn. If you continue to queue up groups of players after every pick with an eye on the next round, you will always be ready for anything. Focus on the best available players in every round without planning to target one or two specific players, and you won't get "sniped."

Best ball tips for success: The goal in best ball leagues is to aim for the highest cumulative point totals, so the mindset should be different than in the regular head-to-head matchup formats. Give edges to the players with more upside. It is also better to target QB to WR hookups. In many best ball leagues, there is no Fantasy football waiver wire or trades, so concentrating on long-term results is key.

The salary cap draft strategy handbook: If you want to land both Alvin Kamara and Derrick Henry as the top two running backs, it is possible. Those who want to pair Patrick Mahomes with Tyreek Hill do not have to hope both players fall to them at certain slots. Yet you also must be judicious with your budget.
