The Thief’s Credo

The Thief’s Credo is a list of guidelines to take you through the fantasy season. They highlight the most common mistakes made by players and explain why you want to avoid these pitfalls.

Gobble Gobble Gobble Up These Buy Low Players

There’s only a handful of times during an NBA season where a bona fide top 5 player falls down to the status of ‘buy low’, yet today we have one.

Don’t Fall in Love With Your Players!

Part of the fun of playing fantasy sports is researching breakout candidates, then relishing in glory when they do break out. I’m about to squash all that fun. This post is about doing what’s right for your team at the expense of your ego. This post is about not falling in love with your players, cause they sure don’t love you.
