Congratulations. Your Fantasy Football Draft is over! Hopefully, you got all the players you wanted, and your competition was woefully low on football IQ. That would be nice, but we know that life is not that easy. You got some players you wanted, spent too much on some, and screwed up twice. And now that? How do you rectify all the mistakes you made? Calm down, friend. This is where you win or lose your league championship. The Draft takes one day, but there are 12 to 14 weeks of roster changes, waiver moves, trades and bench decisions to make before earning a playoff spot in your league.

The first thing you need to do now is be brutally honest with yourself in every position. Watch her team and see where she excelled and where she made decisions like Courtney Love coming out of rehab. If she has too many RBs and not enough quality wide receivers, check out the big board and see which manager needs ball carriers. Approach him and let him know you’re available to help him, but don’t seem anxious. Do this in every position, but don’t overreact.

Then review your weeks off. Make sure you don’t have multiple posts affected in multiple weeks. I prefer to have my Rest Weeks spread across all positions. On the other hand, if you have Roddy White and Larry Fitzgerald, you don’t care if they have the same bye week. You’ll gladly take that week off from WR to reap the huge rewards the rest of the year will bring.

Finally, take a look at your players’ schedule during your Fantasy Football Playoffs. For example, the Jacksonville Jaguars have the third-hardest schedule for quarterbacks and the seventh-hardest for WRs in weeks 14-17. The 49ers are fortunate to have the second-easiest overall schedule in the league for WRs. RB and third easiest for the playoffs, so Frank Gore looks even better here than usual. This is something to keep in mind as the season progresses.

One thing I like to do is not make a move for 3 weeks, unless obviously there’s a big injury or a nightclub shooting involving your best player. You can also do just the opposite and get stuck in analysis paralysis and do nothing for too many weeks. I guess the real advice here is to think twice before making a rash move. LT finished with 1,600 general-purpose yards and 12 tds, and many owners gave up on him during the year.

Just remember that the Championship is won by managing a team, not drafting one. So grab yourself a cold drink, congratulate yourself on your draft, and get ready to make all the right moves in Fantasy Football 2009.
