I wasn't sure how this change would affect NFL injury reports, so I have been eagerly waiting to amass enough data to examine this rule change. Now that the FO Injury Database has been updated and cleaned through the first half of 2016, let's take a look at the data.
The injury report is the bane of the fantasy footballer's existence.
Let me tell you a little story...
Once upon a time, a certain fantasy football writer co-owned a fantasy team with his brother-in-law. On that team was Hall of Fame QB John Elway. Well, one season, Mr. Elway had a problem with his groin. He was listed as questionable (groin) for several weeks and we assumed this meant he would likely play. I mean, his backup wasn't a Hall-of-Famer and it was past the midway point in the season, thus, he would likely play due to the importance of these games.
So, for three straight weeks, my brother-in-law and I started Elway. And for three straight weeks, Elway DID NOT PLAY! Naturally, we lost all three weeks and our season ended up floating merrily in the latrine.
Damn injury reports.
On the bright side, this did give us a new team name, one which is still used this very afternoon.
The Questionable Groins.
Good times, man. Good times.
