The Men Who Were Strong Out of the Gate

Stats that reflect a player's season totals are often misleading. The NFL season lasts a long time, and players often have impressive stretches of play that get lost in the shuffle.

There are a lot of reasons why certain players have a great first half but tail off later in the year. Injuries to them or their teammates are often the cause, but other factors like strength of schedule can play a role too.

However, there are also a class of players that are simply known as fast starters. Year after year they come out strong out of the gate and post gaudy early season numbers before the grind of the season wears them down.

Identifying and acquiring these players is critical as the outcome of the first 8 games of the year often determines who will make the fantasy playoffs. A side bonus is you can ride these guys and then trade them off before their scoring declines.

We use the Freaks' standard scoring system and all of the scoring totals are rounded to the nearest whole number.

So study hard, and come next fantasy draft you'll have the best stocked roster in your league.
