It also pays to take a look at your playoff players around mid-season and trade for solid matchups, if you can make it happen. Yes, a Jamaal Charles 51 point game is lucky, but most of the time my team has solid contributions throughout.

But it IS luck. What you're describing works in a Roto league where points is the only thing that matters. But you could be the highest scoring team in a normal league and happen to pull the schedule where you play the teams when they have their highest scoring games. There was a guy in my league that constantly scored around 150-160 points a game. Unfortunately he was playing games where the other team just happened to score 180 points that one week. The next week they went back to scoring 120-130.
Meanwhile....I averaged 160 points a game.....and got to play teams when they had down weeks and were scoring 90-100.
