Owners talk to get the edge and that player you liked might just be picked earlier than you expected now. Don't panic if another team takes him before you had him valued at. This only means that he has missed some better players and your team will be that much stronger. Teams may give out false information to get you to pick players or positions early. Now you must evaluate your roster and keep it fine tuned.
Some players start off slow.
As they are dropped, you might take gamble and grab one of them. Check the waiver wires weekly for bargains and try to add any hot running back or wide receiver surprises. Return back to the Club House and print off a copy of the Pre-Ranked Players Form. Fill in the entire list using your preferred order. Cross off or drop the players down in rank if the player gets hurt or is not pre-forming well in preseason.
