Every draft will have unique nuances but many leagues will follow some general trends based on the platform and that site's ADP and default rankings. This draft guide will focus on the ESPN platform where the default settings use a roster of one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, one flex (RB/WR/TE), one defense/special teams, and one kicker with seven bench spots.

The quarterback market in fantasy football has become incredibly efficient and, consequently, the effectiveness of streaming the position has diminished. In recent years, 4for4 has put an emphasis on prioritizing efficient, dual-threat quarterbacks but on ESPN this year, quarterbacks are going far too early with Josh Allen going in the second round and four quarterbacks leaving the board by the middle of the fourth round. My favorite quarterback to draft this year is Jalen Hurts but an ADP in the middle of the fifth round is too high.
