DALDrafting around bye weeks
01
Do not stack byes
Avoid drafting two or three starters at the same position who share a bye week, or you will scramble for replacements that week.
02
Stagger your QBs and TEs
If you carry one QB and one TE, make sure their byes fall on different weeks so you are never without a starter.
03
Plan waivers early
Know your heaviest bye weeks in advance and target streamers on the waiver wire the week before.
04
Check your roster
Run a mock draft or sync your team in My Team to see your exact bye conflicts flagged automatically.
