EDITORS’ INTRO The information contained herein will make any fantasy football player better than they currently are, from carefully vetted rankings list to the review of actual high stakes draft boards for 2018. From the carefully selected team Power Rankings to each teams’ boom and bust players, you will find all the information needed to help you draft a winning Fantasy Football team. Between Scatty, Triple J, and the other contributors you have the ability to see the relevant fantasy football information through the eyes of actual High Stakes Fantasy Football Players. While you have read the articles and posts from all the “so-called” experts, what leagues, if any, have they won. In Triple J’s Fantasy Football Magazine, the contributors are all proven High Stakes Fantasy Football Winners, where league entries are $1,500+ and the stakes are real. We are not playing with people who are reading off cue cards and are easy on the eyes, we are playing with vetted, knowledgeable players who all want nothing more than to win. We will bet any reader dollars to donuts they can take Matthew Berry’s Top 100 fact list, ESPN’s experts, and NFL Fantasy Blow Hards advice against our magazine advice, and barring injuries, you will win 90% of the time with our advice. In fact, if you do not make your league playoffs using my advice, shoot me an email, and in 2019, we will personally assist you in your draft! Do not tire yourself trying to figure out everything yourself, we have done it here for you. We have placed it right at your fingertips in an easy to read and comprehensible format. We have stated the players from each team which you should avoid like the plague. Throughout the magazine you can view different draft boards from actual $350/team league with a $250,000 Championship grand prize of numerous different high stakes players with a track record of winning. Each of their draft boards is analyzed at least through round 5. Study the draft boards and use them to your advantage. With injuries and drops the boards will change as NFL season gets closer but you can learn a lot by seeing where players are drafted now. The actual high stakes leagues start with a $1,750 entry do not draft until the end of August, however, in my experience the $350 leagues are very close to the average draft position (ADP) of $1,750.00 leagues and up. The golden nuggets can be found in rounds 12-20. Do you see an unfamiliar name? Google it and try to figure out why a high stakes player is drafting him and use this to your advantage. You need to stop looking at Fantasy Football as an offshoot of the NFL and start thinking of it as a game all onto itself. A game that once you mastered will win you a lot of Money while you simultaneously enjoy the sport of football.

THE BENEFITS OF USING CHEAT SHEETS WHILE DRAFTING A cheat sheet is list of player rankings used by fantasy owners during a fantasy football draft. Cheat sheets can take one of these two different forms: They can either be an overall player rank cheat sheets or a series of position cheat sheets. Each type of cheat sheet will allow an owner to employ a different kind of draft strategy. Each type also has its own advantages. OVERALL CHEAT SHEETS The overall cheat sheet lists all players, not by their position, but their overall value. If you want to draft according to “best players available”, use one cheat sheet that has every player ranked according to their value accordingly. You can simply mark off players on your cheat sheets when they are drafted, then consequently draft the highest remaining players when your turn in a draft comes. Using only one cheat sheet has an advantage of efficiency. You don’t spend hours turning through many pages. Even if you have five cheat sheets to sift through and are also writing as you go, you will have trouble keeping up with the other aspects of your fantasy football draft. CHEAT SHEETS BY POSITION This gives fantasy football owners a chance to know which positions have most value during a draft. Owners tend to value a position over another and prefer to have the cheat sheet and other player rankings divided into positions. This may be advantageous, if for example you have a separate sheet for quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, field goal kickers and team defenses. Here you will likely mark players off of the lists as you go. You might notice that, on your running backs sheet, there is one player higher up the list that is remaining on board, while ten RBs ranked under him are going off board. You will know this is your next draft pick, because a highly valued runner is still up for grabs. PLAYER RANKINGS ON CHEAT SHEETS Some cheat sheets are better than others. Many casual fantasy football owners tear a cheat sheet out of fantasy football magazines. So with ours you can just print it out or make your own at www.cheatsheetwarroom.com

131 My Roster
JOHN TERRY AND AUNTIE J’S FPC DRAFTING OUT OF THE #3 SPOT ON JUNE 16, 2018 GENERAL STRATEGY - With FFPC scoring being ppr and TE premium as well as dual flex there are many ways to build a high scoring team. The focus will be to take position players who catch a lot of passes and wait on QB as that position seems very deep this year. We start 2 running backs, 2 wide receivers, 1 tight end and 2 flex positions. That is seven players and when we also factor in bye weeks, ideally, we want 10 players at those positions that are playable before we worry about anything else. DRAFT SLOT - We managed to draw the 3rd draft slot, I like it as I prefer a top 8 slot this season. PICK ONE - Gurley and Bell are off the board leaving us with David Johnson. In 2016 David Johnson put up 2100
combined yards, 20 TD’s, and 80 catches. Last year’s injury was a fluky one to his wrist and he was back to full health by January. He has stated his goal is 1000 rushing and another 1000 receiving this season and he is still in his prime with low mileage, sign us up please! PICK TWO - Ideally, we’d like a stud wr here to match with our stud RB. Mike Evans sticks out as the best wr left on the board. Not the greatest season last year with 71 for 1000 yards and 5 touchdowns in 15 games but the catches and touchdowns should pick up. This guy gets a ton of targets and a lot of them are inside the redzone, 10-12 touchdowns is a strong possibility. Let’s hope Jameis continues to improve. PICK THREE - Running backs have been flying off the board in this draft as seems typical this year. 14 already
gone by our 3rd pick here so give me Devonta Freeman who is #12 on my personal board and is another RB that racks up the receptions in addition to running behind a top 5 offensive line in Atlanta. PICK FOUR - No running backs that I love here and I see 4 tight ends I like so we’ll gamble on one of the tight
ends coming back to us in round 5. Alshon Jeffery is the pick here. In 2017 he was bit touchdown dependent and only had 57 catches but his catch rate was incredibly low at 47%. That rate can easily improve by 10% or so and I see no reason for the targets to DEC.rease so 70-1000 is a realistic projection.
150
TRIPLE J’S FANTASY FOOTBALL REPORT
PICK FIVE - We knew some of those tight ends would go and Engram and Graham were both selected
after our last pick. That’s ok as we like Greg Olsen better than those two anyway, let’s hope that foot injury doesn’t resurface. He has been remarkably consistent with Cam as his QB and should remain a top 5-6 option at the position. PICK SIX - The running back pool is drying up fast. Normally I would not ‘handcuff’ a player in this contest
but Freeman’s injuries combined with Tevin Coleman’s talent and this being the final year of his contract have us taking Tevin Coleman here who I’m a bit surprised is still on the board. The situation in Atlanta is a good one and Coleman can put up numbers without a Freeman injury, if Freeman does go down we are going to feel a lot better about this pick later. PICK SEVEN - It is still too early for us to think about quarterback here, I don’t like the running backs or
tight ends so we’ll go receiver. Case Keenum looked Decent in Minnesota last year and should improve the Denver offense who should continue to rely on Thomas and Sanders as the rest of the offense is still young. Emmanuel Sanders is the pick and he should still have some juice left at 31. PICK EIGHT - Cooper Kupp is still on the board, he flashed as a rookie and should continue to improve.
He’s our pick here. PICK NINE - We’ll pair Robert Woods with Kupp as we aren’t big believers in Brandin Cooks at his ADP.
Woods looked outstanding in this offense last year and seems to have turned the corner. PICK TEN - Ok we are about half way let’s see 3 running backs, 5 wide receivers, and a tight end. Still a lot
of Decent QB’s available and we could use running back and tight end depth. Giovani Bernard is our pick here. This guy is a solid talent, yes, his touches will go down with Mixon likely to improve but for added depth in the 10th round we’ll take it. PICK ELEVEN - We still only have one tight end and Cameron Brate sticks out as the best available on the board. Tampa Bay showed him the love with the new deal and he should continue to get his share of the targets. He is a bit TD dependent but OJ Howard is still developing and Brate was resigned for a reason so we’ll take Brate here. PICK TWELVE - The quarterbacks finally started flying off the board this round so we’ll play it safe and take ours here. Matt Ryan has a great line, 2 running backs that catch the ball, Julio, Ridley, Sanu and an improving TE in Hooper. He should put up solid numbers as a starter this year and late 12th round seems like a good value. PICK THIRTEEN - 13th round and the number one receiver on a team is still available?? Marqise Lee is our
pick, yes, they have a bunch of receivers and Fournette will be the centerpiece but Lee looked good last year and should be solid again. PICK FOURTEEN - Nothing jumping out here so we’ll take our defense. The Chargers were very solid last
year, they have a nice front four and added Derwin James to the secondary. They also play in a relatively weak division where they should be the favorite.
