What Makes A Young Buck: Helpful Or Successful?

Improved Essays
While the above proverb advocates that you should teach others to provide for themselves, you will intend to accomplish the complete opposite. You should strive to become the authoritative source for fantasy advice and convince the new guy in the league to depend on you. Once you establish this relationship, continue to feed fish to the hungry, so that they neglect the desire to fish for themselves. This Young Buck was likely lured in by the Commissioner to fill the last spot in the league. He likely fell prey to lies such as “You only have to set your lineup once a week. It doesn’t take too much time managing your team, just set your lineups and replace your players if they get hurt.” The lure of joining a league on the premise that you can …show more content…
You are not in the business of starving, so avoid spending time and energy on anything that isn’t in your best interest. Nevertheless, feed the new guy as much Fantasy advice as he can swallow to keep him competitive. This endeavor comes with a great amount of overhead as you must answer seemingly endless lineup questions each week. The weekly questions will vary from insightful “Jeremy Hill or Lamar Miller?” to the flabbergasting “A.J. Green or Donte Moncrief?”. This Young Buck will soon become completely dependent on your opinion and serve as your obedient lapdog to carry out tasks on your …show more content…
Clay is on fire and I would pick him up, but my waiver isn’t high enough to grab him.”
Young Buck: “That’s a great idea. Can I start him in my flex?”
Not only have kept a serviceable player from the Waiver Wire out of the prying hands of other owners, you did so without using one of your own roster spots to achieve it. You also have built more trust with your Young Buck. The advice to make the move is mutually beneficial for both yourself and the Young Buck, meanwhile another owner is suffering from embarrassingly low point totals with no replacement for his injured Tight End. Provided that you knew another foe mentioned that he had put in a waiver request for Charles Clay. You are able to work the waiver wire without reducing your own waiver priority by utilizing the Young Buck as a proxy. It’s entirely coincidental that you and the Tight End barren owner matchup next week. The Young Buck won’t always be easily manipulated, and it can be a grueling process at times as seen

    Doctor Russel, While discretion is a mandatory component of our job, I am seeking your advice in particular because I know you to be a trustworthy man.

    Pryor is somewhat at a standstill in his career, but not necessarily in a bad way. Contractually, he is on a 1-year deal, also known as the “prove it” deal. Cleveland had offered Pryor a multi-year deal, instead he turned it down thinking he’s worth more than that annually. So taking the 1-year deal here in Washington, with a better situation offensively, he’s banking on his abilities as a 3 year wide out. If his 2017 is similar or even better than his 2016 in Cleveland, the Redskins will be eager to keep Pryor in…

In contrast, injuries and retirements decrease it. The roaster should hence not be depreciated.…
