#1) Do Whatever You Can To Get Tom Brady And LaDanian Tomlinson
Tom Brady and LaDanian Tomlinson are the two top players in fantasy football this year by a mile. Tom Brady is the top QB by far, and LT is the best running back.
You win fantasy football with dominant players. Do whatever you can to draft them. If you can't draft them, do whatever you can to trade for them.
A lot of fantasy footballers overthink things. In fantasy football, even a moron is going to make the playoffs is that moron has these two players.
Now, you can still win your league without these two players, but it won't be nearly as easy.

#2) Make Sure That You Have Plenty Of Running Backs
Running backs are at a premium in fantasy football. Even if you get a couple, keep in mind that running backs get hurt A LOT, they share carries, they have bye weeks, etc. etc.
So make sure that you have a bunch of quality backs. You can never have enough good ones. If you only draft one good back and think you can "improvise" later on you are fooling yourself.

#3) Don't Let ALL The Elite Tight Ends Slide By You On Draft Day
On draft day, usually there are 4-6 elite tight ends, and after that there is usually a huge drop off in production. Figure out where that drop off is and pounce on a TE before all the elite ones are gone.
The difference between having an elite TE and an "average" TE is usually HUGE. Huge differences win leagues. Don't forget that.

#4) Avoid Aging Players And Injury Prone Players
Also, I always tend to shy away from players that are known to be injury prone. When one of your top players goes down with an injury, it can ruin your season. At one point last year, I had so many players with the last name of "Johnson" injured and sitting on my bench that I just about wanted to cry.
But I didn't cry. I sucked it up and I won my leagues.
But learn the lesson. Stay away from old players and players with a history of injury.

#5) Try To Get Emerging Players In Their 2nd-4th Seasons
A lot of fantasy footballers get infatuated with rookies, and aside from a hot runningback once in a while, usually rookies are pretty worthless their first year.
What you are looking for are players in their 2nd, 3rd or 4th season who are just starting to emerge as stars. Often you can get them at a bargain spot in the draft and they can end up being big producers for you.

Bonus Tip
Lucky you.
Keep an eye on the waiver wire for your league every day. You would be AMAZED at the players that some people will drop.
If you keep a close eye on who people are dropping, you WILL pick up a gem at some point in the season.
