5 Quick Tips to win at Fantasy Football
1. Drafting smart
The first step to winning at fantasy football is drafting smart. You need to draft players who have a high chance of scoring points each week. There are many different types of players to choose from, including running backs, wide receivers, quarterbacks, tight ends, and defense. When you draft these positions, make sure they are good matchups for your team. Watch out for Bye Weeks when drafting, you do not want both your quartersbacks off the same week!
2. Playing smart
After you’ve drafted your best players, you need to play smart. Make sure you know how to use them correctly. If you don’t know what position they play, then you should probably stick with their primary position. For example, if you drafted a quarterback, he may not be able to run the ball effectively. So, you shouldn’t put him at running back unless you plan on using him as a receiver. Check who they are playing against, is weather going to be a factor?
3. Managing injuries
Injuries are inevitable in any sport. In fantasy football, you want to avoid getting injured yourself. But, sometimes you just have to deal with it. Try to get injured players off your roster until they recover. Also, try to keep track of your players’ injury history. That way, you won’t end up with a player who gets hurt every game.
4. Using your bench wisely
You should always have a backup plan for your starting lineup. If your starter gets injured, you should replace him with someone else. Don’t wait until the last minute to do this though. You should already have a backup ready before the season starts. Make sure you are checking your lineup every week, it is easy to get on autopilot until you forget to switch out a a player on a bye week.
5. Keeping score
When you start playing fantasy football, you should keep track of everything. Keep track of your wins and losses, the number of points you scored, and the amount of money you earned. You can even keep track of your weekly rankings. This will help you stay motivated throughout the season. Just remember its for fun though, do not get too obsessed!
