This was one of the healthiest seasons in recent memory across the fantasy landscape, with few major injuries to fantasy-relevant players. That, of course, was a welcome development from both human and fantasy perspectives. It also, in part, created one of the weakest groups of Waiver Wire All-Stars that the fantasy community has seen in some time.
The community itself is also responsible for a down year on the waiver wire. Why? Well, consult the final average draft position report of the summer from 4for4, which was taken on September 4, two days before the start of the season, and you’ll find that fantasy owners were particularly savvy drafters in 2018.
