Episode notes
Evaluate Injury Proneness Thoughtfully
- Consider injury history carefully, focusing on recurring soft tissue injuries rather than singular traumatic ones.
- Don't overreact to injuries that are fluky or healed, but be cautious with players who repeatedly get soft tissue injuries.
WRs May Be More Injury Prone
- Recent data shows top wide receivers miss more games than running backs, challenging common injury assumptions.
- Position-based injury risk may vary year to year, so use recent trends cautiously in drafting.
Salary Cap Drafts Offer Fairness
- Salary cap (auction) drafts are best because all players are available for bidding by everyone.
- Use tiers and control your spending to build a flexible and fair team.
