The Season

7 pages.

Bye-week planningEvery NFL team takes exactly one week off, a player on bye scores zero, and seven bench spots have to cover it.
Implied team totalOne free, automatically-updating number that says how many points the betting market expects a specific team to score in a specific game — and the backbone of everything you do in-season.
Reading the NFL injury reportFootball injury information is an officially mandated weekly document with defined terms and a published deadline — which is why twice a week is genuinely enough.
Start-sit — a standing rule, not a research projectSetting your lineup is a rule you apply seventeen times, not a question you re-open every week.
The fantasy football weekThe season is not played on Sunday — it is played on Tuesday and Wednesday, and Sunday is only where the result gets read out.
WaiversYour waiver claim is use-it-or-lose-it, because this league recomputes the order from scratch every week.
Weather and the fantasy playoffsFootball is played outdoors in December, which suppresses passing and kicking but not running — and the fantasy playoffs land in exactly the three weeks where that starts to bite.
