Fantasy Football 101
Know Your League Like the Back of Your Hand.
Understand your league’s scoring system, roster limits, the waiver wire structure, and all the other settings so you’re not playing catch-up. But perhaps even more important is knowing your competition. Who in your league is aggressive? Who's cautious? Use this knowledge to your advantage.
Don’t Overreact to Any One Week (Good or Bad).
There are a lot of ebbs and flows throughout the season, and, especially early on, it can take offenses several weeks to get clicking. You don’t want to let go of a player who will be a superstar come playoff time. Be patient. Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make.
Don’t Get Too Attached to Your Favorite Players.
You may be an easy trade target if everyone and their brother knows you’re a diehard Cincy fan and you’d do anything to have their stud QB-WR duo on your roster.
Pay Attention!
Keeping up with the waiver wire and league-wide player movement will help you maximize your flexibility throughout the season, adjust for injuries, and beat your friends to the punch to grab that rising star, but it requires commitment throughout the whole season.
