And that’s what the graph above shows you.
The further to the right the bar goes (Kamara/Henry) the better.
Real quick on McCaffrey.
I’m still 3-2 somehow, but my team is held up by termite invested stilts because of this.
I have no idea how I’d train that into the model so it just is what it is.
And that’s what we’re doing here.
Saquon Barkley is the #1 player taken if your draft was today
Quick caveat with the graph.
It’s very misleading early on in the season when byes start.
Pretty much any Cowboys running back of past and present.
Things will even out as everyone else enters their bye weeks.
Even though Kamara has outplayed him overall.
Patrick Mahomes - the… replacement-level quarterback???
You might not like it, but this what average fantasy performance looks like.
You’d think the Chiefs going 5-0 would mean your fantasy team would benefit as well.
The other thing that stands out is the tight end waste land.
I was a huge believer in Dalton Kincaid this offseason.
Everything seemed to point to his direction.
No big name wide out to suck target share.
A great quarterback on a great offense.
A pass happy play caller.
Except it isn’t.
Maybe the problem is he’s too good?
Arizona put three to four guys on him in Week 1.
I think I still believe in him though.
Because everyone else at tight end absolutely sucks.
Anyone you’d have any chance to get anyway.
Let’s check out the next 60 players by preseason ADP.
Speaking of bad tight ends.
Touchdowns were low, but that’s often chalked up to chance.
Well - maybe not for Engram though.
He’s never really been a touchdown guy.
The biggest dud of them allcoincidentallyat the biggest dud of a position of them all.
Zamir White - I’ll toot my horn on this one.
I have no idea who thought this guy was actually good.
-1.08 wins means he is responsible for an entire loss across a fantasy season.
Never even on my draft radar.
He scored 4, 6, 3, 3 in Weeks 1-4.
Kyle Pitts - I still have no clue what to think of him.
But it still feels like Russian roulette every time you load him up as your starter.
He’s in a race with Mark Andrews for Troll of the Year.
Jameson Williams - Damn.
that Week Three dud (1.2 points) really tanked his WAR.
I’ll leave it there for now.
Hope this was at least a littletherapeutic.
Give the list another look.
What regrets do you have?
Anyone draft middle-late Round 1 and go Chase/Kyren or even better - Henry?
Or are you just dead inside?
If so, cheer up.
Long season ahead and plenty of more time to get beat into the ground more.
