Fantasy Football Expert Mock Drafts: ESPN, Yahoo Sports and CBS Cheat Sheet Mocks For 2013 Season

The NFL preseason is moving into the final week of play and with the regular season getting ready to start, that means the fantasy football year is also getting ready to start online and smart owners need to find the best values and top performers at every position.

Fantasy owners need balance and a little bit of luck to win their leagues each season and this year in the 2013 season things should be no different. Most teams need a strong quarterback and running back to win, while others in PPR leagues may go after a different breed of player, including wideouts and running backs that can catch out of the backfield.

With a number of players getting hurt in the preseason some of these picks could change, but keep an eye out for players like Rob Gronkowski and others coming off of injuries, as many of those players are slipping and value can be found in a number of late drafts. Some teams made some great additions in the offseason like the Dolphins and some of those picks could work out well.

ESPN, Yahoo and CBS are the top fantasy football providers and each site has some decent mock drafts from before the preseason as well as cheat sheets to help out when looking to draft your teams.
