This article is one of four articles that will focus on the relationship between fantasy success and NFL success. This study has been an interest of mine for some time now.

In both dynasty football and the stock market, you have your “good stocks” (i.e. your fantasy studs) and you have your “bad stocks” (i.e. fillers on your
