Win-in-Year-Two Dynasty Startup Strategy (2023 Fantasy Football)

Win-in-Year-Two Dynasty Startup Strategy (2023 Fantasy Football)

There are several dynasty startup draft strategies. They all have strengths and weaknesses, but the only bad strategy is not having one at all. However, my favorite dynasty draft strategy is the win in year two or tank the first year strategy.

While some like to compete early on, I like taking the long-term approach. With this draft strategy, you can build yourself a multiple-year contender and an elite team. However, the win-in-year-two strategy takes patience and discipline.

This draft strategy requires you to avoid making win-now moves despite the temptation. With this strategy, you spend the startup draft and the first year focused on the future. Then, you start competing in the second year. Let’s look at what you need to do during the startup draft to succeed with this strategy.

The Basics

Before you start your draft, be aware of a few things. First, is it a slow draft with an eight-hour or longer timer or a quick draft with a two-minute timer? Most startup dynasty drafts have at least an eight-hour timer. However, check your league settings so you’re not caught off guard.
