It’s nice to start making benchmarks by which we can then go back and measure ourselves to determine if we’re making the right steps forward in our ability to project relative value at each position. What I can say with certainty is that over half the time we tell you to start someone, we are correct. We’re not as right at the very top, but we seem to be doing okay there as well.
We’ll continue to strive and be better in our analysis, and bring you the very best fantasy football coverage you can find anywhere.
