I can't believe I'm entering my 15th year of fantasy football (my dad started a league in 1987, I was attending drafts every year since 1989). My brother and I started our own league in 1996 at the ripe ages of 12 and 11.
Anyway, each year there are folks who would like to see my draft day sheets (I think the words 'cheat sheets' are dumb, since every magazine has them, and every player has them, it's not cheating). So, you can find them here on google docs:

The first rule of drafting is to know your league's scoring system. If you play in a Heavy PPR league like I do, then RBs who catch the ball out of the backfield are very valuable.
The second rule is to not take the first player from a group of similar players. I color code players into tiers, so that I don't over pay for players.
Third, when you start really getting into a draft, consider the risk/reward of the current people on your roster. If you've played it safe so far, go for some risks. But if everyone you have drafted so far as a high chance of injury, then move to something else.
Last piece of advice. Unless you're in a rotisserie league, ignore the idea that you have to pay attention and draft according to bye weeks. I draft the best back-up QB available even if they have the same bye week. You can always trade. Plus, every league I've ever been in plays head to head- so having a high average ppg and a bad record does nothing. Thus, if all of your players happen to have the same bye week, you might just forfit one week, but you might just be favored in every other week as your opponent has to deal with their bye weeks.
Food for thought. Enjoy!
