I'm not sure where you think opportunity comes from if not from a coach and his game plan for the player.bsp27 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 7:24 amyes, opportunity to play is largely the only thing that matters.JFever wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 6:56 amThis is simply unbelievable to me. How does one play fantasy, be involved in dynasty leagues, take the time to post on dynasty forums, and..... not understand that how a player is used in a system (which equates to opportunity) - relates to their fantasy production? Am I the only one that finds this just a tad off?
But in most cases, coach worshipping is a narrative with no statistical support. Player performance is driven by that player's ability, and secondly by his supporting cast. Schedule strength, health, game flow, every other external factor matters more than coaching. Jon Gruden and Chip Kelly freely admit that the vast majority of team's run a version of the West Coast offense There is no magic play calling, because film is available to all teams.
Did you overdraft Jeremy Hill because Hue Jackson is a running back guru?
Did you draft Chales Johnson because Norv Turner got the most out of Josh Gordon?
Did you draft C.J. Anderson because he would be a apart of Gary Kubiak's famous zone stretch plays?
I'm on the side that didn't see anything too special from Mckinnon, but that was as a Viking. Shanny definitely increases his value. To what I dont know, but you would be foolish to not take note. Doesn't mean you blindly overpay when things start to look better. For those paying firsts I would caution you not to be too hasty. I wouldn't pay more than a 2nd, and that would still feel wrong.
