In most dynasty leagues, once the season starts there isn’t always much to be done on the waiver wire. There’s always going to be players that breakout, but if your league has deep benches, they may already be rostered.

Whether it’s redraft or dynasty, once a draft or auction has concluded there is often an immediate desire for more.

Similarly, a computer can only adjust its algorithms so many times. Simply put, mock drafting is just not the same.

The dynasty community is a passionate bunch who tend to be extremely ambitious. Whether it’s the latest hot take or innovative new league format the collective minds of the dynasty universe are always pushing the boundaries and the number of leagues one joins isn’t exempt from being pushed to its limits.

Leonard Fournette re-signed with the Buccaneers on a one-year deal worth $3.25M. The contract also includes incentives that would push it up to $4M.
