What is a fantasy football cheat sheet?

A fantasy football cheat sheet is a condensed reference guide containing player rankings, tier groupings, and key stats organized by position. It helps fantasy managers make quick decisions during drafts and weekly lineups by providing at-a-glance player valuations.

How do I use a cheat sheet during my draft?

Cross off players as they're drafted and target the highest-ranked available player at positions of need. Focus on tier breaks - if you're choosing between positions, select from the higher tier. Print the cheat sheet or keep it open on a second device during your draft.

Should I use Standard or PPR cheat sheet rankings?

Use the scoring format that matches your league settings. PPR rankings favor pass-catching running backs and high-volume receivers. Standard rankings emphasize touchdown-dependent players and efficient runners. Half-PPR is the middle ground used by most modern leagues.

What do the tiers mean on a cheat sheet?

Tiers group players with similar expected fantasy production. Tier 1 contains elite must-start players, Tier 2 has solid starters, Tier 3 includes flex options, Tier 4 covers streamers/bye-week fills, and Tier 5 is for deep league plays only. Players within the same tier are roughly interchangeable.

How to Use This Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet

Our fantasy football cheat sheet is designed to give you a competitive edge in your drafts and weekly lineup decisions. Whether you're in a Standard, Half-PPR, or full PPR league, these tiered rankings help you quickly identify the best available players at each position.

Draft Day Strategy

Print this cheat sheet or keep it open on a second device during your draft. Cross off players as they're selected and always target the highest-ranked available player at positions of need. Pay attention to tier breaks - if you're choosing between positions, select from the higher tier.

Understanding Tiers

Players within the same tier offer similar fantasy value and are roughly interchangeable. When two players are in different tiers, the higher-tiered player should almost always be preferred regardless of positional need. This helps avoid reaching for players too early in drafts.

Scoring Format Matters

Always select the correct scoring format for your league. PPR leagues significantly boost the value of pass-catching running backs and high-volume wide receivers. In standard leagues, touchdown-dependent players and efficient runners hold more value. Half-PPR is the most common format in modern fantasy leagues.
