Your 2024 fantasy football drafts are rapidly approaching, and it will be as important as ever to knock your first-round pick out of the park … and of course, all of the rounds to follow. To help you do that, we’ve outlined the “perfect” draft plan and how to execute it from the first round on through the middle of your drafts, with several target considerations in each round.
