SportsTradex Weekly Fantasy Football Draft Games: Strategy to Help You Win Thousands in Prizes
Is it worth starting a top-tier player in a bad matchup over a second-tier player with a good one?

If you're looking to play a daily fantasy game that's not salary-driven, our friends at SportsTradex have the perfect contest for you.

They're hosting their weekly draft games again this week - specifically an $8,000 Big Pooch Kick GPP - where users draft a 7-, 8- or 9-player team from particular tiers of players. Each tier is labeled A through D, with Tier A consisting of studs, while Tier D is filled with sleepers.

The smaller, seven-player teams will choose three Tier A players, two Tier B ones and one player from both Tier C and D. Since the team is smaller, they're able to get more players from that top tier. Meanwhile, eight-player teams will choose two guys from each tier, while the nine-player squads are only able to choose one player from Tier A, three from Tier B, two from Tier C and three from Tier D.

Clearly there's a lot of strategy involved with a game like this, and that's where we come in. Let's take a look at how you should approach this week's contest.
