Fantasy football draft strategy has evolved considerably the past 10 years, from the days of picking running backs early, saving kickers for last and avoiding sitting near opponents who look at your cheat sheets. The reason is simple: The game has grown rapidly, with now 56 million people in North America playing fantasy sports, according to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association.That means the need for an edge has grown considerably, while the games progression makes those advantages much tougher to find.Here are some strategic considerations for 2016:---ZERO RUNNING BACK THEORYThe Zero-RB theory was popularized by high-stakes fantasy player Chris Vaccaro several years ago, vaulting the New York bar owner to a $150,000 title and the National Fantasy Football Championship (NFFC) Hall of Fame. The concept runs contrary to years of fantasy strategy: hold off on taking your first running back until the fourth or fifth round.The logic? Running backs get injured, underperform, and are mired in timeshares, so you minimize risk by not taking them early. And now that the NFL is a pass-heavy league, most of fantasy points are collected through the air via star wide receivers.The main downside now, however, is the prevalence of people following the strategy, which means a rabid rush for the top wide receivers, leaving valuable running backs for the taking later than they should be available.---WAITING ON QUARTERBACKThe key here is waiting for the right quarterback. Last year, an astute drafter might have recognized that Blake Bortles could run for at least 30 yards per game, was throwing to two top-flight wide receivers and had a skilled offensive line coach (Doug Marrone) on a team that had added one of footballs best tight ends.Bortles went undrafted in most leagues and finished among the top five or six quarterbacks, depending on scoring systems.Kirk Cousins, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Carr, and Tyrod Taylor all performed well enough to convince a drafter to wait on quarterback and chase wide receivers and running backs in the first 10 rounds instead.This season, Robert Griffin III looks like an excellent late quarterback option. He can run, has two wide receivers who can put up 100-yard games, his tight end is solid and he has a running back in Chris Thompson who was targeted 48 times last year despite relatively sparse playing time.Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota are two other young quarterbacks in maturing offenses who can be taken late but started in Week 1.---SKIPPING KICKERSThis is the modern version of know your rules. If your leagues setup doesnt force you to draft a kicker, then dont. At all.Instead, draft a high-upside skill position player and wait until the eve of kickoff to drop someone for a kicker off the waiver wire. It buys you a little speculation on, say, a running back locked in a position battle who may have won the job between the draft and Sept. 8, the first game of the season.---PAY ATTENTION TO OFFENSIVE COACHESDenver Broncos tight end Virgil Green doesnt have much in his past that would suggest hes due for a breakout season. Over five seasons, Green has just 44 targets, 35 receptions, 379 yards, and two touchdowns.But Denvers quarterbacks coach is Greg Knapp. And while his name isnt a household one for fantasy players, youve seen his work as either a quarterbacks coach or offensive coordinator:- Julius Thomas, 2014: 12 touchdowns- Julius Thomas, 2013: 90 targets, 12 touchdowns- Brandon Myers, 2012: 105 targets, 79 receptions, 806 yards, four touchdowns (led the Raiders in receiving yards)- Owen Daniels, 2011: 85 targets, 677 yards, three touchdowns (led the Texans in receiving yards)- John Carlson, 2009: 83 targets, seven touchdowns (led the Seahawks in receiving touchdowns)Zach Miller, Alge Crumpler, and a host of others had career years when Knapp just happened to be an offensive coach.Thats no guarantee Virgil Green will break out this season, but knowing the tendencies of an underappreciated (in fantasy) offensive coach can at least help push an owner into some logical late-round speculative picks that could owe more to research than luck.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com .

SILVERSTONE, England -- Defending champion Lewis Hamilton reeled off his fourth win in five races Sunday to storm to victory in the British Grand Prix and trail Nico Rosberg by one point.The 31-year-old Englishman came home 6.9 seconds clear of Mercedes teammate Rosberg but the German was later relegated to third place after a 10-second time penalty for a breach of radio communications rules as he tried to resolve a gearbox problem.Dutch teenager Max Verstappen was promoted from third to second, with his Red Bull teammate Daniel Ricciardo of Australia in fourth.Hamiltons victory completes a hat trick of consecutive home wins at the British GP for the Mercedes driver, and is his fourth win on home soil and 47th F1 career victory.Kimi Raikkonen finished fifth for Ferrari ahead of Sergio Perez and his Force India teammate Nico Hulkenberg. Carlos Sainz of Toro Rosso was eighth, ahead of the struggling Sebastian Vettel who said his Ferrari was too slow. Daniil Kvyat in the second Toro Rosso was 10th.In a reversal of the scenes last week at the Austrian Grand Prix, where a victorious Hamilton and Rosberg collided on the final lap, Rosberg was booed by fans during the podium ceremony.A great job and thank you so much guys for your efforts back at the factory, said Hamilton on his victory lap. Right now, Im thinking about all the people.He then ran and cavorted in front of them before getting in among the spectators.From the podium, Hamilton said: Weve got the best fans here so thank you so much . I am not sure you can be as happy as I am.I did everything I could to save that engine, he added, explaining why he had not performed any `donuts to celebrate his win. I saved it for quite a long period of time . So now, keep your fingers crossed, Im catching him! he added, pointing at Rosberg, who didnt offer a direct reply.It was a tricky start in the wet. Then, Max got ahead of me and it was an exciting race. l got back past him, which I was very happy about, but I couldnt catch Lewis. He did a great job today, Rosberg said.Rosberg leads Hamilton overall by 168 to 167 points, with Raikkonen third on 106.dddddddddddd.A downpour before the race created havoc and an immediate call for full wet tires and a start behind the safety car. Hamilton led the way for six laps before racing began.Both Mercedes drivers pitted for their intermediate tires on lap eight, ahead of the Red Bulls, when a virtual safety car was deployed as Pascal Wehrlein spun off the still-wet track.By lap 12, Hamilton was 5.2 seconds clear as he raced in tire-conservation mode ahead of Rosberg and Verstappen, who was another 1.4 seconds back. Perez was 10 seconds adrift in fourth.Vettel was first in for slick tires after 15 laps before Verstappen swept past Rosberg to take second.With Hamilton leading, a series of pit stops followed, which gave Verstappen a brief run at the front before he pitted and rejoined second, 7.1 seconds behind the champion.Hamilton managed his tires while Rosberg attacked the Dutchman relentlessly, but in vain, until lap 38 when he swept past and began to hunt down his teammate.Rosberg slowed on lap 47 after reporting gearbox problems and fell back three seconds to 11 adrift of Hamilton. Avoid seventh gear, the team told him before he recovered to secure his podium finish.In that dialogue, Rosberg asked for instructions and the teams response was ruled in breach of the strict rules introduced to stop drivers being coached from the pit wall.In a statement issued three hours after the race, ruling body FIA said that while some of the instructions from Mercedes were allowable, others were not.Having considered the matter extensively, the stewards determined that the team gave some instructions to the driver that were specifically permitted, said the statement.However, the stewards determined that the team then went further and gave instructions to the driver that were not permitted -- and were in Breach of Art. 27.1 of the Sporting Regulations, that the driver must drive the car alone and unaided.
