Kindness is not weakness.
Kindness is strength.
Strength is intentional - it is firm, controlled, and restrained.
It takes strength to override impulse.
Weakness is the default.
Being kind when it's not deserved is a flex - a show of strength.
Being unkind reveals weakness.

One of the laziest colloquial phrases is:
"Numbers don't lie"
The opposite is mostly true.
Except in cases where data sets are enormous or data is collected in a very standardized and thoughtful manner (impossible in many cases), numbers can tell us easily believable lies

Dynasty is a game of not being wrong more than it is a game of being right.

Actually understanding QB variance and leveraging it is one of the most simple edges you will find.
A lot of dynasty strategy is the equivalent of stepping over dollars to pick up pennies.
We like to deny or ignore simple and obvious stuff because it's not new or exciting.

There is a "goldilocks zone" for being in the right number of leagues - right for you.
Too many, and you're leaving good opportunities to act on the table.
Too few, and you're prone to acting when you should hold. It's harder to be patient when each league is more prominent.

Early April pre-NFL rookie draft steals:
Jarquez Hunter (4th/5th)
Terrence Ferguson (4th)
Mason Taylor (late 3rd)
Kyle Williams (4th)
Jaydon Blue (4th)
Jack Bech (late 3rd/4th)
They all have a better shot at draft capital than price indicates.

I don't know if this is the great running back class it's supposed to be, but if it is...
Its probably not going to result in the fantasy Running Back landscape being better.
It's more likely to fill up the NFL with RB committees, doing more harm than good to most fantasy RBs

One of the best reasons for even good teams who can afford the luxury to avoid picking RBs in the early first is there will likely be elite vet RBs available for cheap.
That bad org from 4-5 drafts ago has to sign their elite RB to a contract that makes no sense for a bad team and he's available.

Dynasty is 80% waiting and 20% doing stuff.
Maybe 80% is low.
This one angle provides a large percentage of the psychological challenge.
Waiting is very hard.

When prospecting, one must "hold" two important but slightly contradictory truths in the mind at the same time.
1️⃣Prospect development is not linear
2️⃣Comparing an older (23) prospect to a younger (20) prospect is not an apples to apples comparison

Don't "buy high" in the literal sense.
Instead, take note of players who are worth buying high on, and put them on a list.
Sit back and wait for one of the players on this list to experience negative variance, and take advantage of those buy windows when they open.
