Fantasy: Riding the salary wake

Whether you play fantasy baseball, football or fishing, the fluctuation of players' salaries can be dealt with in one of two ways. A player with a rising salary is usually hot. They may have been on a hitting streak, scored multiple touchdowns or, as in our case, won or placed highly a bass tournament. A player with a dropping salary has usually suffered an injury, is going through a cold spell or made a poor showing in a tournament. What does this mean to a fantasy manager and how should he deal with it? First, he can either jump on the rising player's bandwagon and hope the hot streak continues, possibly giving the owner value in the long run; or he can snatch up the stumbling player and hope he turns it around, something that will definitely give the owner future value.
