Adjusting Strategy for Locked-in Playoff Seeds

When a fantasy football team is already secured in a specific playoff seed, it is essential to adjust the approach for the final regular season weeks. Managers should prioritize planning for upcoming matchups rather than stressing about irrelevant week 14 performance, especially if the league rules allow some flexibility. For instance, if a manager knows their playoff position is safe, they might save resources like waiver wire priority for more critical weeks and focus on playing matchups for future games. However, it's important to maintain fairness by not neglecting roster requirements or intentionally losing games to affect playoff positioning for others.
