Fantasy Football 2023: Proven expert offers salary cap draft tips and strategies

There's nothing worse than going into your third straight draft season and landing a pick outside of the top nine in a snake draft. How did this happen again? you might be asking yourself. You now have no chance to draft Justin Jefferson, no chance to draft Christian McCaffrey, and you most likely won't even get an opportunity to draft Travis Kelce if you believe so strongly in the positional advantage he provides over the rest of his tight-end peers.

If you find yourself like me -- totally exhausted by the rigidity of snake drafting -- it may be time to try out a salary cap draft (also known as an auction draft). When it comes to salary cap drafting, nothing is off of the table as long as you budget for it. If you want to grab two or even three stud running backs, you can make it work if you are prepared to nickel and dime the rest of your roster spots. If you want Jefferson, go get him! If your build is dependent on grabbing the Kelce edge at tight end, you can do that too!
