Fantasy owners need to swallow their pride by dropping underperforming players. This also pertains to star players who have suddenly seen their roles change, thus adversely affecting their value. With eleven weeks of player statistics, fantasy owners have now seen enough to make informed decisions about which rostered players belong on the waiver wire.
The difference between winning a fantasy football championship or not could come down to simply dropping a player that you invested draft capital in but has failed to meet expectations. The most successful fantasy owners understand the importance of moving on, just as NFL teams make transactions throughout the season.
