Master Every Aspect of Fantasy Football
🎯 Draft Strategy
Don't Lock Into Rigid Strategies
BeginnerBe flexible during your draft. Let the draft come to you rather than forcing a predetermined plan.
Avoid Recency Bias
IntermediateDon't overvalue players based on their last few games. Look at full-season trends and projections.
Target High-Volume Players
AdvancedPrioritize players who get consistent touches and targets over boom-or-bust options early in drafts.
Stream Defenses and Kickers
BeginnerDon't draft these positions early. Stream based on matchups throughout the season.
📈 Waiver Wire Mastery
Be Aggressive Early Season
IntermediateUse your FAAB budget aggressively in the first few weeks when breakout players emerge.
Monitor Target Share
AdvancedLook for players with increasing target share, even if they haven't produced big numbers yet.
Handcuff Your RBs
BeginnerPrioritize picking up backup RBs for your star players, especially injury-prone ones.
Drop Kickers for Extra Roster Spots
AdvancedDrop your kicker during the week to hold extra players, then pick up a kicker before games.
🔄 Trade Tactics
Buy Low, Sell High

Package Deals Work
BeginnerCombine multiple decent players to get one elite player. Quality over quantity.

📊 Lineup Management
Start Your Studs

🏆 Championship Mindset
Plan for Playoffs
AdvancedMake moves with weeks 15-17 in mind. Regular season success means nothing without playoff wins.

Stay Active All Season
BeginnerThe most active managers win more often. Check waivers, make trades, and optimize lineups weekly.
Trust Your Research
AdvancedDon't second-guess yourself based on gut feelings. Stick to your research and analysis.
🔍 Research & Analysis

Avoid These Common Mistakes
Drafting a QB Too Early
QBs are deep and replaceable. Focus on RB and WR in early rounds where scarcity matters more.
Ignoring Bye Weeks
Don't draft multiple players with the same bye week early. It creates unnecessary lineup holes.
Chasing Last Week's Points
Don't overreact to one good or bad week. Look at trends and underlying metrics instead.
