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.

Have a strategy, not a script. Your draft probably won't go exactly as planned—and that's okay. Know where the value is, understand positional scarcity, don't panic when a position starts flying off the board, and be ready to adjust. Whether this is your first fantasy football draft or you've been playing for years, this episode will help you head into your 2026 PPR draft with a game plan. 🏈 Join the Fan Girl Football community for leagues, fantasy football help, NFL talk and more at FanGirlFootball.com.
