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 NFL platform where the default settings have 10 teams and 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 six bench spots. The default scoring system uses full-point PPR (point per reception), a setting that should be a major consideration when preparing for your NFL fantasy football draft.
