In last year’s draft guide, I wrote tips and strategies for dynasty leagues. However, looking back, it ended up being more about setting up a dynasty league with some strategy mixed in.
This year, we assume that you already have a league, so we’ll prioritize tips over how to run a league. Dynasty leagues can be a lot of fun if you’re winning and even more fun if you’re losing (and have your own first-round pick). However, building a true dynasty takes time and effort.

You don’t want to be the person who gives up all of their assets to win a championship and then can’t get back to the playoffs because they’re out of moves to make.
