Every fantasy draft season the names at the top of drafts are mostly those who performed best the previous season. However, if our goal is to project forward, then why do so many managers blindly look backwards and put so much weight on the small sample size of the previous season?
We should be asking ourselves, “How often do the previous year’s top running backs and wide receivers repeat as such the following season?” That’s what I hoped to discover with this study.
Specifically, I wanted to nail down how often the previous season’s top-12 PPR RBs and WRs repeated as such the following year.
