One of my favorite quotes comes from the great Maya Angelou: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” It speaks to believing what someone shows you through their actions, as opposed to their words. It’s easy for someone to hide their true intentions when talking, but their actions will reveal what they truly are. Just as in the NFL, when free-agent signings and draft picks speak louder than words, there are ways to discern who your league mates truly are in fantasy football instead of taking their words at face value. Not to discount the importance of talking to the other league members, but you should also take their actions into account. Below are a few simple suggestions to help you get to know your dynasty league mates better.
