For High Score leagues, focus on players with high upside rather than reliable floor producers. Target those facing bottom-10 defenses, as defensive quality is the most important matchup factor. Before playoffs, trade high-floor, low-ceiling players for volatile ones with proven blow-up potential.
If you have a bye week, use the time to scout and make trades without pressure. Identify boom candidates with increased playing time and make moves before your opponents do. The waiver wire is filled with depth pieces seeing expanded minutes who could deliver elite production on any given night.
