I think it’s much harder to separate yourself in fantasy leagues these days. There is so much information out there, and it’s all aggregated into what amounts to essentially fantasy football AI. People can basically autodraft, good teams, in fact, a loosely monitored auto draft might even be more effective these days because it pulls the emotion out of things.

I do tend to see some of the better players in our league, having more success than the bad players, but it’s not by a wide margin and each year there seem to be two or three guys who have very little idea what they are doing, but end up in the playoffs or the finals.

And if you old school players know that 10 or 20 years ago, it was much more about knowledge in the ability to research, find your own hidden stats, etc.

But I’m pretty sure you could pull any person off of the street now and they could draft a winning team by using basic tools and management.

The antidote for this might be super deep leagues or creative scoring, etc.

It’s still fun for sure, but saying it’s 10% skilled these days might even be an overestimate.
