Perfect Draft: 6th in a 10-team ESPN PPR League
To be honest, I am not a huge fan of the sixth pick in drafts this year. It feels like in every round, you are forced to pick one of the shakier options of every tier, often leading to a high-variance team with a wide range of outcomes. Nonetheless, today I will be trying to build a winning team from the sixth spot in a 10-team PPR league.
The 4for4 staff uses the Draft Hero software for all of our leagues. Draft Hero syncs directly to your league and optimizes each pick using projections and value-based rankings from 4for4. Draft Hero lets you customize your draft experience with settings on which rounds you want to draft a position, how many players you want at each position, and players to target or avoid.

My Plan of Attack When Drafting Sixth
Roster Settings: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (WR/RB/TE), 1 Kicker, 1 DEF, 7 bench spots
It is important to remain flexible during your fantasy drafts, but here’s a general overview of how I’d like to build my roster from the No. 6 spot:
- Stay balanced between RBs and WRs: Picking at the heart of each round, I would like to have an even split of running backs and receivers so that I don’t get stuck to a specific roster build.
- Draft an early round QB: The 3.06 is the perfect spot to grab an elite QB, so I will be targeting one of the big four options at that spot.
- Target a WR in the FLEX: Since this a PPR league, I would prefer to have a receiver in my FLEX over a running back, especially if my running backs are not pass-catchers.
