The 2016 NFL regular season is in the books, and there’s a lot to process before we move on to the playoffs. It’s a great time of year to come full circle and evaluate some of what we thought during fantasy draft season back in August. In turn, we can use these insights to continue to improve as fantasy players.
The Total Insanity Football League is an excellent example of group-think causing problems. Because most of our league chose not to re-sign running backs, the supply at the position was severely outpaced by demand which is why Ezekiel Elliott, a ROOKIE for heaven's sake, went for $61. Yes, he was worth it. But Adrian Peterson at $74 and Latavius Murray (a guy I really like a lot) at $51 simply were not worth the cost of admission. Especially considering David Johnson, a key re-signing from last season, racked up 381 points for just $10. Other horrific decisions included Mark Ingram for $50, Carlos Hyde at $48, and Matt Forte at $44. These moves didn't even seem like a good idea at the time. I fully expect 2017 to be much more reasonable at both the WR and RB positions as salaries fall into line with production.
