Fantasy Baseball Position Scarcity Draft Strategy & Targets (2024)

Fantasy Baseball Position Scarcity Draft Strategy & Targets (2024)

Every year at the beginning of draft season we hear about which positions are strangers to others, and this year is no different. The question is how much is positional scarcity and what can we do to use it to our advantage.

Position Scarcity Draft Strategy & Advice

In trying to discover the answer, I made this chart of each position and where they are being drafted in NFBC Online Championship drafts which are 12-team Roto leagues since the beginning of the year.

Position Top 100 100-200 200-300 Total
C 5 11 6 22
1B 9 9 8 26
2B 8 7 12 27
3B 10 8 7 25
SS 12 7 7 26
OF 20 24 27 71
UT 1 1 3 5
P 42 40 42 124

Starting Pitching

The first thing you discover is how deep starting pitching is, especially for 10 and 12 team mixed leagues. This is backed up by what I have seen in drafts so far this season. You can wait on pitching in a lot of these formats.
