It’s Time to Start your Fantasy Draft!

Good news fantasy football fans! The NFL lockout is over and teams will slowly start to assemble to prepare for the upcoming 2011 NFL season. This is good news for everyone who is interested in the game. It is also good news that no regular season games will be missed, there will be some kind of free agency period and the league got back to work just in time to make things interesting for the upcoming season.

Some fantasy football players may have already gone ahead and had their fantasy drafts. That may cause some problems for a few of these owners further on down the road. Depending on where players that were eligible for free agency end up as well as where players are traded to, things could be a lot different than when a person had their fantasy draft prior to the end of the lockout.

So what should a person do in this situation? Don’t give up on your team. You should be able to make some adjustments including picking up free agents and making some trades to help make your team ready for the coming season. Since the others in your league drafted at the same time you can bet that they would be willing trade partners because they need to fix their teams as well.

For those of you that have yet to draft your teams you have an opportunity to make this season a great one. If you wait until later to do your fantasy draft you will be in a lot better shape than you would be if you had your draft immediately. The longer you can wait the better off you will be and that is a rule to live by.

Free agency is going to be fast and furious so keep an eye on what’s going on with your favorite players (those that might be free agents) to see where they end up when the smoke clears. There promises to be a lot change and you want to be sure that you are on top of that change before you draft.
