While watching football is top on the list of favorite fall activities, participating in fantasy football leagues is quickly catching up. If you spend hours re-working your fantasy football draft and managing your team, these tips will help you to maximize your chance of success—and maybe even win a bit of money along the way.

1. Take advantage of online resources. Although some people may get a bit picky about using online cheat sheets, there’s no set rule against doing your research before the draft. Sites like ESPN.com are filled with incredibly beneficial resources to help stack the deck in your favor.
2. Become familiar with your league’s rules. This tip is especially important for first-time participants, since making a blunder like drafting someone who has already been picked will hold up the rest of the league (and certainly annoy your opponents).
3. Research injury reports. You make sure to pay attention to which players are doing best this season, but it’s just as important to know who’s limping a bit in practice.
4. Get risky. Don’t be afraid to take a chance on a so-called “sleeper” player or two as the draft progresses. You’ll likely already have your first choice players by this point, and choosing a risky player could lead to a big payoff in the long run.
