Dynasty Fantasy Football: To Rebuild or Not to Rebuild?

To rebuild, or not to rebuild? That is the question.

It’s time to get real. Every dynasty fantasy football manager has a pivotal moment during the season where they need to put on a brave face, look at themselves in the mirror, and decide whether or not they are actually competing for a championship. It’s a hard conversation. Such self-reflection is not easily done. No one wants to be told you’re not good enough, especially not from yourself. But this conversation and when to have it is one of the most important events during a dynasty fantasy season as there is but one truth in your fantasy football leagues, there can only be one winner.

First, we must talk about timing, and when to actually have this conversation with yourself. Some people try to make a decision as to whether they’re going to try and make a run for the championship during the off-season, which is a mistake. I’m a firm believer that in the off-season, except for in extreme cases, there are no competing or rebuilding teams. There are just teams trying to improve their roster. Of course, there’s usually one team in every league in a hard rebuild with minimal talent on their team where you’re sure they’ve got no shot (you know who they are and if you don’t you need to look into the mirror for a different reason).
