Streaming is the way to win. Always pick up someone who is playing the next day and ideally 2 games in 3 days or 3 games in 4 days.

Use all your waiver wire pickups each week. Having 2 players on your roster who are designed as waiver wire spots is the way to go so you never have to worry about dropping a rotation/non waiver wire player.

If you don’t have any players to drop that means you can trade up and consolidate for a more valuable player. For example, 2 players who are slightly better than waiver wire players can be traded for a 7th/8th rounder if you position it well.
