2019 PSDG: Fantasy Football Lessons Learned from 2018 (Preview)
Michael Nazarek - 6/7/2019

Three years ago, I wrote my first "Lessons Learned" fantasy football article since the 1990's. Why did I wait so long to write one? Well, I'd like to think every NFL season is different, but I did want to discuss some of the more important trends in the game that have evolved over the past 20+ years. I thought it was a good idea, and I still think it was, but I must admit that in many ways, the past three years showed that trends can fade, stick, or flat out disappear. Bottom Line: Not even a Mastermind of this game gets everything right. Let's take a look at some of those trends and see what 2019 might bring when taking 2018 into account...

Testimonials

"I began using FFM in the late 1990s. For 20+ years they were an extremely valuable resource, as I enjoyed great success in my league during that period. Unfortunately, my league came to an end during the Covid years, and I stopped subscribing to FFM. After a year without Fantasy Football, I started looking into online sports betting and quickly realized FFM could again become a valuable source of information for prop bets on individual players. I resumed my subscription with FFM and have not looked back. FFM is clearly a dual threat; they can severely increase your odds of success in both fantasy leagues as well as prop betting. I almost feel guilty with the tremendous returns I get from such a modest investment in FFM."
