This feels like a situation where his real life impact far outstrips his fantasy impact.
Yeah, of course. But we were told otherwise! Like, the entire offseason! The team hyped him to infinity. How is that so far from what’s happening?!
But, is it?
I looked at it the same way you, and everyone else did (I took him earlier than anyone in the four FGBs home leagues) but, I never considered for even a second what the Lions may have been looking for when they extended him. In hindsight, I have to believe that we're seeing exactly what they were looking for when they extended him.
And, he'll, stubbornly, be in my lineup(s) all year regardless.
