    • A: Focus on high-volume running backs and target-share wide receivers in the top three rounds (e.g., the RB-WR-RB "sandwich" strategy), avoid early-round quarterbacks and kickers, and target tight ends who function as primary team wideouts.

  • Q: How do you keep non-playoff fantasy football teams active all season?

    • A: Create a consolation bracket ("Toilet Bowl") where the winner earns the #1 overall pick in the next season's draft, giving eliminated teams a strong reason to stay competitive week-to-week.
