Patience is a virtue, and it’s also a strategy.
Fantasy Baseball is a game of patience.
You’ve probably heard it said before that fantasy baseball is a marathon and not a sprint. With 162 games, there is a lot of time for players to streak hot or cold and still end up being exactly the players they were projected to be.
It just hurts more when it’s right out of the gate.
Can stud players suddenly go cold and drop off? Sure. But more often than not, the players you drafted in early rounds will bounce back to their mean if they get off to a slow start.
