The Perfect 12-Team PPR Fantasy Football Draft Strategy: Round-by-Round

Creating the perfect round-by-round fantasy football draft strategy for a 12-team league in the 2025 NFL season depends on your scoring format (PPR, half-PPR, or standard), roster settings, and draft position.

But assuming full PPR, a 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1FLEX, D/ST, K, 7 bench format, here’s a general round-by-round blueprint to dominate your draft.

But first a few draft tips:

Don’t draft based on last year’s finish. Watch preseason usage.
Use tiers. Don’t blindly follow rankings.
Monitor training camp injuries and rookie usage.
Use value-based drafting: always compare ADP vs. ceiling.
