Hello and welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast. This is the rookie snapshot series,

have during their final season. So it complicates it. But, you know, then you go back sometimes

and watch the tape and say, oh yeah, that guy's really good. He's dominant. There's a reason why he opted out. So I guess I'll be curious to see if

this trend continues without any, you know, COVID-related effects. Maybe they'll be more opt-outs

in the future that don't just include bowl games or things like that. You know, when we talked

about running backs, we talked about a couple of players that made themselves more money by playing
