The Art of the Deal...in Fantasy Chapter 2 Now that we’ve covered some basic trade types and how to handle them, it’s time to focus on the types of owners you’re likely to run into and the tactics that they will use to close a deal, skew it in their favor, or stall for time.

The Art of the Deal
One of the most exciting events in a Fantasy Football season is a trade. More so if it's a trade you're involved with. Trades give owners a way to bolster a position of weakness, cover up a draft mistake, or even make a push for a championship at the expense of the future.

Additionally, what your trade partner is looking to get out of the deal can often also be wildly different each time. Realizing exactly what your needs and your trade partner’s needs are can be the single biggest factor in getting a deal done.
