Okay, I am a little late in following up on these idears, but a few weeks of non-stop ongoings and a lack of focus to write kept me away....anywho.....

Some of you are leading your league at this point in the season, whether it is by 1 point or 15 points (in a roto league) or any number of games in a head to head league, there are certain ways to attack the remaining portion of the season....
Most of my recommendations come from having blown up a big lead or two in the past and not making the proper adjustments
1) Evaluate how a trade will effect not only your team, but the other contending teams........making a trade to pick up a point or two, but leaving yourself vulnerable to the 2nd or 3rd place team in a few spots is bad business, always look to see where your weaknesses are....
2) Use trades to block, in one league, I looked to trade a closer to a team that could pass up two of my opponents in saves (2nd and 3rd place teams)............I never ended up making a deal, but it is something to look into. If you are in first it is just as good for the second place team to lose points as it is for you to gain points.
3) DO NOT FORCE A MOVE - if something isn't there, don't force it, you are in first, very likely because you have a strong team and don't need much to maintain the lead. Don't react to a move made by another team if it doesn't make sense, don't make a move just to make a move, make sure it indeed helps or the chance of it helping you is worth the risk.
In the end, 1st place teams should be cautious, reactive, careful and understand the risks.
