Most managers focus entirely on the first three rounds, but success often hinges on how you navigate rounds 4 through 7. This session breaks down specific PPR league strategy adjustments required to keep your team competitive as the talent pool thins. You will learn how to balance positional scarcity with value-based drafting, ensuring you do not reach for players just to fill a spot. Judy and Gina explore the nuances of roster construction during these pivotal stages, helping you maintain a consistent lineup from week one through the playoffs. They offer clear perspectives on when to prioritize running backs versus wide receivers, providing a blueprint to avoid common mistakes that derail many teams mid-draft.
