Way back in 2012, I was one of the writers who labeled Matt Kemp as the No. 1 overall fantasy player after he hit .324 with 39 homers and 40 steals the previous year. My reasoning included the theory that the Dodgers star was a can’t-miss player due to his durability after missing a total of 11 games in the previous four years.

Of course, Kemp went on to sit 56 games in the '12 campaign and 89 contests the following year.
