How to Change Your Roster in Fantasy Football
To stay competitive in your fantasy football league, you'll need to ensure that you set the best possible starting lineup each week. An injured star could cost you points at his position, while a healthy journeyman could give you just enough points to get a victory. And while it's ultimately your decision who should start or sit, its imperative that you understand the basics of altering your fantasy football roster.

Tips & Warnings
Click on the menu box next to the inactive player's name, and then select the "Bench" option from the box to move the selected player to your bench. Select the player's position from the menu box, to move the player to the position in your lineup.
Set your roster with plenty of time before the week's first game starts. Most leagues will lock players out of your lineup once their games start (e.g. a quarterback that plays in a 4:15 p.m. game on Sunday, won't be available after his game kicks off).
Take in account your player's matchup and the weather condition when deciding who to start -- a rainy day could make one player a bad start at his position.
