Winning a fantasy football championship requires more than just reading last season’s stat sheets. True edge comes from understanding the architects behind the plays: the head coaches, offensive coordinators and the schemes they run.
With 10 new head coaches and 20 new offensive coordinators across the league, relying on year-to-year player data is a recipe for disaster. When a coaching staff changes, player-usage changes with it.
If you understand the underlying philosophy, you can easily predict which players will thrive and identify the proverbial “square pegs being forced through round holes” before your league mates catch on.
When a system perfectly aligns with a player’s skill set, fantasy magic happens. Consider Mike McDaniel taking over as the offensive coordinator for the Chargers. McDaniel’s zone-run scheme is tailored for explosive, dynamic playmakers.
