Other owners are probably thinking most about the draft in the offseason, but if you can get ahead of the curve and trade for a pick before they’re diving into scouting reports, you’ll probably get the pick more cheaply. It’s very simple: Players are more valuable when they’re playing, and picks are more valuable the closer you are to the draft.įor example, if your team is rebuilding and you want to trade a player for draft picks, you want to do that in-season when that aging receiver can help another team and that owner doesn’t have their heart set on drafting a stud running back from their alma mater. A big part of that is knowing when the best time is to trade players and picks. You need to trade if you want to win your league, even if you hit the lottery in the inaugural draft. Speaking of knowing the assets you're getting. But consider the typical lifespan of the position when acquiring players of that position. I'm not saying go all in on quarterbacks and ignore running backs. That's about twice the length of Gurley's career!Īnd then when you compare that to Peyton Manning and Tom Brady of the fantasy world, quarterbacks can be dominant year after year for over a dozen years. But he had nine seasons alone in which he scored double-digit touchdowns. Sure, someone like Randy Moss had some down years, especially after his peak. Yes, there are some exceptions, but how many RBs have sustained success for even half a dozen years? I always think about how dominant Todd Gurley was for almost four years, but by 2020 he was absolute toast. But in a dynasty league, they produce for a much shorter time. In any given year, running backs might rule the fantasy landscape. But they have the shortest lifespans of the three primary fantasy positions: Running backs always go early in redraft leagues. WRs have better long-term value than RBs but less than QBs To stand victorious in both the current season as well as the future season, here are some things to remember.

Are more people on the "same side" of the road as you or less? How easy is it to rebuild in your league-do you have a salary cap for example or can owners keep the same ten studs for ten years? Do you have a strong enough core to trade away some key assets?Īnd those are just some of the bigger questions. Furthermore, I'd argue that if you do things correctly, you can both win now AND win later. Otherwise, you might be squished like a grape.īut if I am going to be completely honest with you, it really depends on the specifics of your league. But it is often better to choose one side of the road or the other. Who says you have to make a decision Leon? Much like Leon who can't decide which Stalker to take, you don't ever HAVE to make a decision. Others say if you have the cards to "push all-in", you do. ![]() Some say it's worth sacrificing a little today to make a better tomorrow.
