What Makes the FastDraft App Different?
FastDraft offers a six-player best ball format where your top four weekly scorers count toward your score. Drafts are lightning fast—just 20 seconds per pick—and completed in under 10 minutes. It’s the ultimate low-commitment, high-reward format. Players also get access to three tournament types: rookies-only, offensive-only, and the D-Up IDP tournament.
What truly separates the FastDraft App is its innovative use of “boosters.” Each team can assign multipliers—up to 2x—to four players. That means even if you draft early in the offseason, your lineup has flexibility as player values shift due to injuries or depth chart changes.
Avoid Public Drafting Mistakes
Most users flock to defensive linemen early, lured by the six-point reward for sacks. But hosts DJ Doc and Axton Harding argue that’s a mistake. The sack-heavy strategy ignores other valuable scoring categories like tackles, pass deflections, and interceptions. There’s no positional requirement, so chasing edge rushers exclusively limits flexibility.
Instead of following this crowd strategy, focus on players who stuff the stat sheet. Safeties and linebackers with high tackle counts provide consistency. They often score more total points across a season than mid-tier defensive linemen who rely on unpredictable sack production.
Real Data, Real Results
Without historical data from the app, Axton reverse-engineered results using similar scoring settings on Sleeper. His analysis covered the last three NFL seasons. The results were clear—while top-tier edge rushers like Micah Parsons and Nick Bosa belong in the early rounds, the second and third tiers are inconsistent.
Defensive backs, especially box safeties like Derwin James and Kyle Hamilton, consistently finish in the top 100 overall scorers. Xavier McKinney and Brian Branch are undervalued assets who offer high production at a lower draft cost. Linebackers like Fred Warner and Lavonte David provide both tackling floors and big-play upside, especially in the mid rounds.
Exploiting Positional Overlook
In 2023, 40 defensive backs finished in the top 100 overall scorers, more than defensive linemen. Yet, only six safeties are being drafted inside the top 60 picks. Players like Buda Baker and Julian Love routinely outperform their ADP, providing late-round steals in the D-Up tournament.
Instead of using early picks on rookies or specialists like Jared Verse or Will Anderson, it’s smarter to wait and grab proven producers with multi-stat potential. Safety isn’t just a fallback option—it’s a cheat code when others are ignoring it.
Final Strategy Recommendations
In short, lean into linebackers early. Add versatile safeties like Brian Branch, Kyle Hamilton, or Antoine Winfield Jr. in the mid to late rounds. Use boosters on your best scorers to gain leverage over duplicate builds. Ignore public sentiment pushing heavy D-line drafts.
FastDraft’s no-position restrictions and scoring setup reward full stat sheets, not just sacks. Avoiding the herd puts you in the best position to win the $2,000 grand prize.
