This thread is for anyone lucky enough to already have their fantasy playoff berth locked up, or are positioning themselves for it. Obviously everyone has attempted to upgrade their core starters as much as possible, but what next steps do you take?

Do you use the weeks before the playoffs to dump depth on your bench, dropping handcuffs and "potential" players and if so what do you use the free roster space for?

Do you look to strategically take away assets from potential opponents, like holding multiple DSTs that have juicy matchups in playoff weeks?

Do you double-down on lottery pick players down the stretch, holding a bunch of guys like Tevin Coleman or Thomas Rawls just in case the lead dog gets hurt?

Do you try to influence what team you might face by making strategic trades to an owner playing key rivals, or roster decisions you make in a given week?

Post your strategy and learn from others.

 
Great topic.

Ordinarily what works for me is stockpiling DST's. However this year out of necessity I am using the spaces for handcuff RBs.
