How to set lineups in Fantasy Football

One of the more difficult tasks in fantasy football, after drafting your team, is deciding on which players to start on a weekly basis.
Just because you drafted a particular player higher than another, it doesn't mean that you have to start him every week.
Here's a few things to keep in mind each week as you set a lineup.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Check to see if a player is actually playing that week. Injuries and bye weeks will keep a player out of your starting lineup.

2. Check to see which defense your player is going to face that week. Check and see how he's done in past games against that team. A player facing a weak defense or with a history of doing well against that team is a must start.

3. Check the weather reports for the city each game is being played in. Bad weather will affect players' output.

Tips & Warnings

• The best approach is to monitor injury and weather reports up to the very last minute your league allows starting lineup changes.
