Most fantasy players ruin their season because of THIS

Don't fall for this simple mistake...

Hey!

Here’s a quick tip for today - one that might feel uncomfortable:

Drafting safe players in the middle rounds often keeps you finishing 5th or 6th.

I get it. Guys like Cooper Kupp or Najee Harris look solid in Rounds 7–10.

They’ll get you 8 to 12 points a week. They have familiar names.

But here’s the problem:

That same production is sitting on your waiver wire.

Here’s what I’m doing instead:

In those rounds, I’m chasing players who could explode:

  • Drake Maye > has Top-10 QB upside

  • Jordan Mason > could step into 15+ touches overnight

  • Emeka Egbuka > talented rookie WRs often pop late in the season

Even if they bust, it doesn’t crush your roster.

But if they hit? You’ve got a season-changer - and that’s how titles are won.

Bottom line:

Middle rounds aren’t for safety. They’re for swinging at players with league-winning potential.

Play it safe with your waivers - not with your draft.

See you tomorrow with another tip!
