A recent article by Fantasy Douche and another by Shawn Siegele got me thinking about quality. Pondering quality is actually rather dangerous.

Furthermore, this result provides even more evidence of my belief perseverance hypothesis from Part 1: Between CG’s release and Week 1, the betting public’s perceptions of relative team strength don’t seem…...

Now that the NFL draft is over and the high-impact free agents have found their homes, we can starting doing some early 2016 fantasy football projections. Today: the New York Giants, including a disappointing projection for Sterling Shepard that shows that being a WR2 isn’t that inherently valuable.  First things first, using our staff projection machine I set some baseline team-wide assumptions: For average point margin, I…...
