Stats
that reflect a team's season totals are often misleading. The NFL
season lasts a long time, and players often have impressive stretches of
play that get lost in the shuffle.
There
are a lot of reasons why certain teams have a great first half but tail
off later in the year. Injuries are often the cause, but other
factors like strength of schedule can play a role too.
However,
there are also a class of teams that are simply known as fast starters.
Year after year they come out strong out of the gate and post gaudy
early season numbers before the grind of the season wears them down.
Identifying
and acquiring these teams is critical as the outcome of the first 8
games of the year often determines who will make the fantasy playoffs.
A side bonus is you can ride these teams and then trade them off before
their scoring declines.
We
use the Freaks' standard scoring system and all of the scoring totals
are rounded to the nearest whole number.
So
study hard, and come next fantasy draft you'll have the best stocked
roster in your league.
