After playing fantasy football for almost 15 years now, I have realized that there are distinct periods to the fantasy season.  First, there’s the pre-draft studying and more studying culminating with draft night.  Second, from about the 9th round of the draft to week 2, you are searching for those diamonds in the rough.  From about week 3 to week 10, you’re on cruise control and the season goes by in the blink of an eye.  Starting in week 11, you have the stretch drive where you are factoring in the weather, the injuries and the standings into every player decision.  Finally there’s the playoffs and your life seems to rest on every play call.  You’re hoping this is the year you cash in or get your name on the trophy.  Well, I’m here to remind you to not take weeks 3-10 for granted.  Keep grinding and making the right calls!  They’ll make a difference in periods 4 and 5!
