If fantasy football is your true passion, the game is a 12-month assignment.
You watch every snap of the NFL playoffs. You carefully observe every free-agent move like a pre-op surgeon. You grind tape for the NFL Draft, even rewatch the mediocre Kevin Costner movie. You keep your ear to the ground for minicamp and summer camp news. You scout the preseason games, in case one of your players actually plays for 15 seconds.
You mock draft, and you best-ball draft. You learn the backups, and the backups of the backups.
You do everything to look for that key, that secret, that winning ingredient for playoff glory.
