Fantasy Football Draft Strategy 2021 - Drafting 3rd in a 12-team league (Half-PPR)

Having a strategy coming into a snake draft is extremely important to set yourself up for success. Obviously, you need to be flexible as you navigate the subsequent rounds, but having some idea of how you want to tackle the first three rounds will set the tone for the choices you make down the road. You can't predict rounds 4 and later, but you can have a pretty good idea of what you want to do with rounds 1, 2, and 3, and go from there. In this article, we will take a look at potential strategies for drafting from the 3rd spot in a 12 team, half PPR point league (although these suggestions align pretty well with PPR as well.) I'll cover the scenarios in the first three rounds and then suggest my preferred strategy for drafting from the position. Ultimately, this comes down to finding the players you like and fitting them into a strategy that works best for you. But I'll give you some of my favorite players to target given the starting position.
