We will be utilizing the ownership percentages from ESPN.com standard leagues while trying to focus on adding players who can help you in those category leagues with ownership rates of less than 20%.

There are a few different ways that you can manage a cats team, but I feel at the end of the day it is the best to build an overall strong team. Some people feel that it is nice to build up and be strong in just five cats while allowing the others to suffer. For me, the problem with that theory is that when you face another team who has strengthened the same five cats that a bad week could knock you out.

One way you can build up your team is through trades, but sometimes you may be in a league where people don’t like to trade or sometimes trades are hard to pull off. One of the easiest ways to build your team is by simply making some waiver adds. So let us move forward and try to find some gems who can round out your team and make you impossible to beat.
