Told myself I wouldn't check my lineup obsessively but here I am at 6am before anyone else wakes up making last minute trades. My league mates are ruthless this year and I'm currently in last place. Can't believe I reached on a tight end in round 3. Anyone else making terrible draft decisions coming back to haunt them?
Pancake Sundays are my family's sacred time too, so I get the Sunday morning thing. Maybe fantasy football becomes your new Sunday ritual instead of replacing it?
Ha, I feel this in my soul. I'm constantly battling my own screen time habits while trying to teach my kids healthy limits. The 6am lineup check is relatable.
That's the fantasy football trap right there. You tell yourself you won't obsess and then you're waking up early to check transactions before your kids even wake up. At least you're awake for something I guess? Silver lining?
The addiction is real. I've started just leaving my phone downstairs on Sunday mornings to force myself not to do this. Even then I find myself thinking about my lineup instead of enjoying coffee and peace. Fantasy football is a disease we all willingly signed up for.

6am fantasy football checking is next level commitment to the grind. I do the same thing and my wife wakes up to find me on my phone instead of actually sleeping in for once. The waiver wire never sleeps apparently, and neither do we.
