Last
season was a mess.
Okay, back up. There’s a decent
chance that last season was a mess for you. Maybe your RB1, RB2 and back-up
tight end got hurt. Maybe your quarterback, a fantasy stud for years,
experienced an inexplicable fall from fantasy grace. Maybe your RB1 got fat.
Running back was likely your
downfall. Running backs fell prey to injury, in the case of Jamaal Charles or
Le’Veon Bell, Chip Kelly, in the case of DeMarco Murray, or even the allure of
fast food, in the case of Eddie Lacy. Running backs get injured every year, but
the multitude of missed games in 2015 seemed unfair at times.
Quarterbacks had their share of
problems too. Andrew Luck could not overcome injuries and a shaky offensive
line last year. Aaron Rodgers, while still finishing among the top-10,
struggled without Jordy Nelson and posted career-lows in completion percentage,
yards per attempt and accuracy.
If this is bringing back nightmares
of 2015, fear not. It’s a new year, full of new opportunities and new hope. Players
are back from injury, DeMarco Murray is now in Tennessee, and Eddie Lacy has
lost weight. There is much to be optimistic about, but as painful as it may be,
you shouldn’t forget 2015.
Last year’s woes can be attributed
to unluckiness, for the most part, but the fact that so many teams were
derailed by luck as opposed to lack of skill means that 2016 should be all
about consistency. Players floundered in all sorts of ways last year, so
the ones left standing were rendered even more impressive.
In 2015, we learned that anything
can happen. In 2016, this draft guide will show you that consistency will be
the key to navigating such an unpredictable fantasy world.
Why should you trust me? Well, I
went 12-2 in 2015.
Good luck, good reading, and when in
doubt, remember the wise words of Marshawn Lynch: “Run through a motherfucker’s
face. Then you don’t have to worry about them no more.”
