Fantasy football cheat sheet 2026
Every position split into its own tiers, in draft order, on one page you can print or hold.
Updated Oct 7, 2026 at 8:46 PM ET
A cheat sheet is a tiered list, not a ranked one. The number beside a name barely matters while your clock is running; what matters is whether the players you like are still in the same tier, because inside a tier the draft market cannot separate them and waiting costs you nothing.
How to use it on the clock
Work top down inside a tier and across tiers only when a tier empties. When two players you want are in the same tier and one plays a position you are thin at, take him: the market is telling you the two are level, so the tie breaker should be your roster rather than our ordering. When the last player in a tier goes and the next tier is a real step down, that is the moment to stop waiting at that position.
Tiers here are cut from live draft data, not drawn by hand: a new tier begins where the gap between consecutive players at a position is clearly larger than the typical gap in that list. Pick numbers are the average overall pick across live drafts.
