Hey everyone, it's JJ, I know you're probably anticipating a mailbag episode to drop today,

but instead, we're going to take things back to last summer.

I do studies every offseason and last offseason, I did one where I looked at rookie wide receivers

and read draft leagues.

I asked the simple question, are they worth while in the season long format?

And the data was really interesting, and with people perhaps thinking about roster construction,

maybe early bestball drafts, I thought it would be a worthy rewind topic for the show this

week.

I'll be back in your ears early next week with a sell candidates episode.

Until then, I hope you enjoyed the rewind and remember to check out lateraound.com and

get that prospect guide preordered.

I think the easiest way to start this is by analyzing things similarly to the other episodes

that I've done recently, by looking at 80p expectation and seeing how these rookies

performed against that expectation.

If you haven't listened to those episodes, no problem.

All I'm referring to is a scatter plot where on the x-axis, you've got average draft

position, and that data is courtesy of myfantasyleague.com.

On the y-axis, you've got points per game.

So you plot each player in fantasy football on this graph.

Some wide receiver who has selected 50th overall may have scored 12 ppl points per game

one year, so that's a data point.

Maybe someone at 70th overall scored 16 ppl points per game and so on.
