Human beings like shiny, new things. Whether it’s a kid getting a brand-new toy on Christmas morning or buying a new car with all the bells and whistles, we want the latest in everything. But sometimes, the new stuff isn’t as good as the stuff we’ve been used to in the past. New toys might be too complicated to understand, and not as fun, and new cars could have bugs that make life more of a headache.
This bodes true in the world of fantasy football, too. While we’re all talking about the new, young players and the potential upside they can bring to our teams, they’re not always as good as their veteran counterparts … especially those coming off injuries or down seasons that might have them falling in our player rankings.
