Well, you're either in or you're out. Admittedly, a disproportionate number of my teams made early exits this year—win some, lose some, right? I didn't do well on the waiver wire this year, so I struggled with injuries and bye weeks across the board all season long. FAAB is a part of the strategy and part of the game. I was off the mark regularly. No amount of draft prep, player evaluation or anything else can help you with FAAB. You're out there on your own in the dark trying to make good bids. Just another year to learn from my mistakes.
And that's O.K. Sure, it'd be nice to have more league winnings come my way, but a few bucks on the side is only there to sweeten the deal. At least for me it is. Because the deal is already pretty good. Fantasy football, especially considering it's a large part of my employment, is already a treat. It only adds, it never takes away. It can turn those final minutes of Monday Night Football into something special. Fantasy football makes those typically awful-to-watch Thursday night games a little easier to swallow. What I'm trying to say is: Win or lose, I hope we can all appreciate the game no matter the personal result or whether our fantasy teams are good or bad. Let's get rocking with the cheat sheet...
