Fantasy Football Advice-How To Pick Winners for Your Roster

Have you grown weary of making the wrong choices when you make your fantasy football picks? Here’s some fantasy football advice to put you in the championship.

This first fantasy football tip has to do with timing. The season does not start in Week One. Your fantasy football season starts in the off season. This means you have to actually do some research during training camp and pre-season. Let’s start with your Quarterbacks.

You want to know what kind of weapons a certain Quarterback has developed for the upcoming season. If he’s available, you also want to pick up the Quarterback’s favorite target.

For example, if you picked up Brandon Marshall last year you were sitting pretty watching him play after play as he was the main “go to guy”. The “go to guys” usually get more opportunities to earn points because they play more.

My next piece of fantasy football advices is to find a duo. What I mean by this is that if you had Peyton Manning and Joseph Addai last year you were ecstatic watching Manning throw to Addai as you were guaranteed a touchdown.

This method also works for Tightend’s. Just ask other fantasy football players who had Farve and Shiancoe last year. These two combined for 22 touchdowns for the season. Keep this dus in mind when draft time comes around.

Here’s some more premium fantasy football advice. Keep in mind players having to renew a contract. Players playing for a new contract tend to give a lot more effort than others. Running backs seem to run harder and faster when they are getting ready to renew a contract. They seem to go flat once they get a renewal deal.

Another thing you have to remember when drafting a Runningback is to never draft a Runningback high after he gets a new contract. That never works out ever for me. Remember what happened to Shaun Alexander after he got his contract? One word-”bust.”

Injuries during the off season are common too and something to review before finalizing your draft cheat sheet.Watch out for injuries during training camp and in pre-season when you get read to finalize you fantasy football picks. Be aware of social catastrophes like Plaxico Burress. Players like him won’t do you any good if they shoot themselves or someone else.

This is fantasy football advice to put you in the championship. Let’s talk about how to manage a team after the draft is all done and opening week comes around. For starters you want to keep an eye on the bye weeks. There are plenty of General Managers out there that are kicking themselves because they forgot that their Quarterback was on bye during a crucial week. This can lead to a losing week that costs you the playoffs. Back yourself up with a good bench and keep tabs on free agents.

Lastly, don’t be a fan when managing a league meaning don’t not pick up a player just because he is on a team that you hate. Points are points and if you’re a true football loyalist like you are committed to your team. Don’t let that cloud your judgment. If your man goes down and the only player available is someone inside your own division just pick him up and hope for the best.
