Fantasy football is an inexact science, where a dash of luck comes into play before an owner hoists the league trophy.
This aside, doing well in the fantasy landscape among fellow enthusiasts is one of the best feelings a fan of the sport can experience because it is perhaps the closest an owner will come to feeling like they're actually running a team.
Look at last year. Owners who put in the work and eventually invested in a guy like Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott won a few games for their efforts. Ditto for those who weaved through the waiver wire in expert fashion, gobbling up Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard.
