Manage Your Team

Once your team is drafted, you’ll need to manage it throughout the competition:

  • Set Your Lineup: Decide which players to start based on upcoming games
  • Make Trades: Exchange players with other team managers
  • Add/Drop Players: Adjust your roster using the free agent pool
  • Monitor Injuries: Keep track of player health and make necessary adjustments
Tip: Check player matchups regularly—a star player facing a weak defensive team might outperform their average.

Advanced Strategy Tips

Research is Key

Stay updated on player news, injury reports, and matchup analysis to make informed decisions about your lineup.

Consider the Schedule

Teams play different numbers of games each week. A good player with 4 games might outperform a star with only 2 games.

Focus on Categories

In category-based leagues, you might want to dominate specific stats rather than trying to be good at everything.

Be Active on Waivers

Regularly check the waiver wire for emerging players who might be available to add to your team.
