Bye weeks are killers!!!

Man, if you don't draft well, the bye weeks sure hurt. They hurt even worse, if the players you have drafted for Back Up duty, are injured. My Backup RB is Ahman Green, and he is questionable. I guess I should have drafted a little better........

I hear ya.

Last year I had a week where my whole team except for 4 players were on bye weeks.

gotta pay real close attention when drafting.....its probably the most overlooked detail and yet pretty close to the most important. 2 years ago a guy drafted 2 QB's with the same bye week by mistake. cost him some $$$.

I agree the bye weeks can mess you up when it counts the most. You could have beaten that team if it wasn't for your bye week. I've been there.

Ouch, that would hurt, losing money by not watching your draft. I try and to the research, but it doesn't always go according to plan, when that draft gets started.......

gotta keep going with the best player you can get that fits with the other byes regardless whether there is a better player available OR take the better player and be ready to make a trade.

There doesn't seem to be very many teams, that actually want to trade in my leagues. It's the Waiver Wire, or limp in with what you have.......

gotta make trades enticing

That is why you need a good fantasy provider that lists everyones bye weeks.

I ended up dropping players when two in the same position have the same bye.
