In every fantasy league, playoffs are starting soon! The teams that have been winning all season are now put to the ultimate test. So, we here at Fantasy Healthball want to help you and your success team (we know it is successful because you were listening to our blogs) by giving you some tips:
There is no need to keep players that aren’t performing
In fantasy football, only the best players get your spot in the lineup. Therefore, this late in the season, there is no need to still hold on to that one player that you hope will still breakout into a star. Also, this means that even if you have a decent player on your team, if you aren’t going to play him you should seriously consider replacing him. Having a good backup doesn’t help your team in the playoffs. If he doesn’t have a chance of starting because you have an all-star at his position, then you should look to see if you can pick-up someone who will have a chance to start. Now, we understand that having a good backup can be great if your starter gets injured but, it’s playoffs time, so you don’t need to worry so much about back-ups.
Matchups are essential in deciding if you should pick-up a player
Now that it has come down to the last couple of weeks in fantasy football, matchups are crucial; especially when you want to pick someone up. Early in the season, the matchups didn’t matter as much because every player was going to play against good teams and bad teams. Although, now that there are only a few weeks left you can clearly see if your player has good matchups or bad matchups (e.g. if you are picking between starting one of two quarterbacks on your team, look at the defense each one is playing and how they are against the pass. Also, look at weather conditions, if the opposing defense has any key injuries, etc.) But, like we said in an earlier blog, you want to still play your top players. So, this only applies to players that you are thinking about dropping/adding.
