What are the biggest questions—and subsequent lessons—fantasy football investors can take away from the 2016 NFL preseason?
With just over seven minutes left in the first quarter of the Detroit Lions' first preseason game of 2015, then-rookie Ameer Abdullah rocketed deep out of his own backfield for a 45-yard gain. In a matter of seconds, Twitter gushed, and Abdullah's fantasy stock surged to new heights.
Abdullah would go on to produce a disappointing rookie season, finishing 63rd in fantasy points per game among tailbacks in standard ESPN leagues. But the results don't change the fact that his fantasy draft stock was altered on that single play.
