To Trade or Not To Trade

It does look like I will be winning 2 of my leagues this week. In one league I am in second place, in another league I am second to last, and in the third league I am 4 out of 10. I would have to say I am doing better than not, but my question for this week is: When do you know it is time to trade a player?

I am a packer, I keep everything. I think it is because I am so thrifty, I am afraid that if I get rid of something, I might need it later.

This same philosophy has crept into my Fantasy Football playing; I am scared to get rid of a player, because what if he turns into a stud after I trade him?
That makes me ask….When do you know it is time to trade.

The Biggest Looser

There is only one kind of looser in Fantasy Football. That is the kind that forgets to change their lineups and play with players on byes.

Last week I was just such a LOOSER!!!

We were driving down to the Library, Sunday morning around noon, listening to the Bears Football game when it dawned on me….I FORGOT TO CHANGE MY LINEUP. What makes it worse is I knew I had guys out on byes. The first part of my punishment was to wait in anticipation till we got home, so I could see how bad the damage was, the second part of course being missing out on mass amounts of points.

I know I was not the only one to forget to change their players, as my sister admitted to playing a few guys out on byes…however luck was with her, as she was able to switch some of the guys out with guys who were playing on Monday.

Needless to say, I lost every match that week.
