Ken Daube has his regular Trend-spotting article up, which is great for seeing which receivers are being targeted the most, and he posts a handy rushing and passing matchup tracker for each team down the stretch. He leads, though, with a little Player A vs. Player B scenario to show how fantasy players can be suckers for perceptions and biases.
Player A Or Player B?
↵
↵Player A has amassed 37 receptions for 574 yards and four touchdowns, good for 7.1 fantasy points per game. This player is owned in 35.8 percent of ESPN.com leagues.
↵Player B has amassed 41 receptions for 573 yards and three touchdowns, good for 7.2 fantasy points per game (he missed one game due to injury). This player is owned in 78.4 percent of ESPN.com leagues.
↵Player A is Pierre Garcon. Player B is Steve Breaston. The fantasy world has no problem giving significant love to Breaston; it’s time to start rewarding Garcon in a similar fashion.
