Playing dynasty fantasy football is a whole different game from redraft fantasy football. You have to take a whole lot more into account and look more towards the future rather than focus on just one season.
The startup drafts are particularly tricky because you have to weigh the potential value of an established veteran who can help you win now with a young up-and-coming player who could be great for years to come, but just isn't on that level yet.
It's balancing whether you can win now or if you need to build for the future. In a startup draft is where your true mindset and strategy shine through. You can get players like Derrick Henry and Matthew Stafford cheap, giving you a chance to win now, or you can grab stud rookies to build a sustainable roster for the next five years. It's up to you how you want to run your franchise.
We're here to help you crush your opponents and win your trophy. That's why we’ve created a Printable Dynasty Startup Cheat Sheet loaded with our 2026 dynasty fantasy football rankings.
