Can you feel it, folks?
We’re inching closer and closer to fantasy football draft season! Over the last few years, managers who’ve put a greater emphasis on grabbing rookies in their drafts have been rewarded with breakout stars and draft bargains the likes of Najee Harris, Kenneth Walker, Ja’Marr Chase and Garrett Wilson. Of course, a big part of that success is picking the right “big names” and avoiding those who fall into the bust category.
Also, the reality of this fantasy situation is that there are far more disappointments than rookies who blow up in the stat sheets. The main reasons for many first-year failures include struggling with the learning curve from college to the pros, landing on a team with a crowded depth chart or unexpected time missed due to injuries.
