Unlock the Secret Playbook: Dominate Your 2025-26 Fantasy Basketball Draft Like a Pro

2. The “Punting” Strategy

Now for a more advanced, high-risk/high-reward strategy: Punting. This is where you intentionally decide to ignore, or “punt,” one or more categories so you can build a powerhouse in the others. It’s a bold move, but if you do it right, you can create a team that’s almost guaranteed to win you 5 or 6 categories every week.

Here are a couple of popular ways to punt:

• Punt the Guard Stats: Load up on centers and forwards. By punting categories like Assists, 3s and Free-Throw Percentage, you can build a monster team in Rebounds, Blocks and Field Goal Percentage. You’ll usually be solid in Turnovers, too, leaving you to fight for Points and Steals each week.
