I have my own personal rankings/projections + ADP rankings/projections + draft trends of said league (if any are there).
Rest are just facts I keep in my head.
If you have to use too many numbers and stats to draft correctly, you should concentrate more on watching and understanding football and less on fantasy football stats IMO.
I am a huge statistician in debate of FF/NFL topics, but in fantasy drafting, that really just comes down to what you know, not what you can look up.
If you see a list of 10 players, you should know which one presents the best value for your fantasy team.

If its Dynasty I have Age as well.
For my personal sleepers I use asteriks next to thier name.
For Redraft I usually just take ANY cheatsheet I can print off and just sift thorugh and pick my players.

i don't use a draft sheet. i just go in with my beverage and snacks.

I sit next to the person who drafts ahead of me and when it is their turn I sit and stare at them until they make their pick. If they are taking too long, while they are delving into their notes, I blast an air horn right next to their ear.If someone gets pissed, I pull out my 9 mill.i don't use a draft sheet. i just go in with my beverage and snacks.

Now THAT psyches people out.

On a serious note, I used to add the player's last four games - to see how they might benefit me down the stretch.It's how I ended up with MFaulk from the 4-hole a few years ago, and his late season heroics vaulted me to a super bowl victory.

That's not a bad idea.Also perhaps, comparing 3-game averages against the Week 14-16 opponents for '06.
Sounds like a shark move of over-preparedness, but worth looking at if you're trying to find more security stats.

stats summary / PPG / games played / AVT for position / ADP rank (i.e. not only that Player X is drafted in round 5, but he is WR16)

at people worrying about week 14 before the season.that is so far down the list of things to worry about on draft day.

when I have two players of comparable desirability/value, their ease of schedule down the stretch is a MAJOR consideration - more of a consideration than whether or not the player shares a bye week with another top player.I don't bother using this for my non-skill or non-starter players, but schedule down the stretch is most definitely a viable factor in the decision making process when all else is even between two players.

Seems like a good strat. However, it's hard to argue that everything else would be equal for any two players. Could you cite a few examples?As was said a little earlier, I think you should be able to look at a list of 10 players and know which one represents the best value for your team.when I have two players of comparable desirability/value, their ease of schedule down the stretch is a MAJOR consideration - more of a consideration than whether or not the player shares a bye week with another top player.I don't bother using this for my non-skill or non-starter players, but schedule down the stretch is most definitely a viable factor in the decision making process when all else is even between two players.

SoS, as has been pointed out many times, is more of a crapshoot than anyone who relies on it heavily thinks.

I'll second that. SoS is used three different times by the time my final projections are done. The FF playoff weeks are weighed much heavier than the other two adjustments.Two answer the question Dominator fully tweaked per my specifications is my cheatsheet now.when I have two players of comparable desirability/value, their ease of schedule down the stretch is a MAJOR consideration - more of a consideration than whether or not the player shares a bye week with another top player.I don't bother using this for my non-skill or non-starter players, but schedule down the stretch is most definitely a viable factor in the decision making process when all else is even between two players.

That's about right. I usually tape a team bye week schedule on the lower right corner because in the heat of battle a very small number denoting the bye week next to the player is often hard to read. I know the players I'm interested in and the week I'm looking for a bump so teh team schedule comes in handy.
