The part about fantasy football that is either the most fun or the most perplexing is the volatility from year to year. We examine everything we possibly can from the summer. We wade through all the “this player is in the best shape of their life” stories, speculate on target shares, number of carries, and developmental leaps. This guy is too old, that guy is too raw, etc. etc. etc.
Then we get to the games and we start to see how players fit into their offenses. Let’s take Saquon Barkley for example. I had an admittedly lower-than-industry-average ranking on Barkley because I was terrified of his team context.
