Have a great season!

The weekly fantasy football routine that wins leagues

Thursday, Sunday and Tuesday. Three short sessions a week, about forty-five minutes total, and they really do beat being clever! Here is what happens in each one, why the order matters, and two real weeks written out so you can watch it work.

Start here if you only read one! This is the whole shape of our week, and it is really short. We were so glad when it finally clicked!

NFL inactives: when they drop, and how to set your lineup around them

Official NFL inactive lists publish 90 minutes before kickoff. Almost nobody waits for them! Here is the real timing, and why your lineup does not lock all at once. Plus three real weeks where waiting saved a slot.

This is the easiest win on the site, and it costs you nothing! Move when you check your lineup by about an hour and you stop starting players who are already out.

And if you would rather it just happened

These guides tell you what we do and why it works. The Fantasy Autopilot Kit is the whole operating manual, and it's the part you pay for. You get the full decision tables with every threshold we landed on, the exact prompts we send, the tool configs, the schedules as code you can drop straight in, and the checks that prove a run really worked. It's a season of edge cases we already hit so you don't have to! We keep it current for you when the platforms change on us, at no extra charge. We're very glad to do that!

Every assumption it makes about what you already have is on that page, above the price. That's your own agent subscription, your own machine and your own platform login. You'll find a plain discussion of where this sits with platform terms of service there too, and it is above the button, not under it. You really do deserve to know all of that first! Thanks so much for reading, and good luck out there!
