Drafting from the middle spot? In this live Yahoo Points League mock (12 teams, pick 7) I walk through every decision using Yahoo’s default scoring, explain points-specific strategy (volume > percentages, bonuses matter), and compare ceiling vs. risk in the early, middle, and late rounds. We hit sleepers, traps, and how to build a roster that actually wins a points league.
What you’ll learn
How Yahoo points scoring changes player value vs. 9-cat
Middle-spot strategy from pick 7 (anchor picks, tier breaks, stacks)
Early-round calls (e.g., Trae Young vs. Anthony Davis in points)
Mid-round upside targets & safe floors
Late-round darts, injury discounts, and bench construction
