What I was wrong about:
QB position in general: despite years of consistent evidence, this year appears to be the anomaly. With numerous QBs performing well above projections and numerous QBs just straight sucking, the delta at the position was larger than it has been in 5 years from top to bottom. While I was right on many QBs (both being better or worse than consensus), I was wrong on many too and wrong on the position entirely. Which was a HUGE difference maker in SF.
TEs in general: while many of my predictions show signs of coming to fruition, I was of the mind that the position was saturated, and there would be little advantage in investing in it. While I was right because a lot of the bigger names did not produce consistently, I was wrong because there was a significant delta at the position for those that did.

Players worse than anticipated:
The entire Panthers offense (specifically Young)
The entire Jets offense: had moments of brilliance, but all around not consistent enough to be useful
Spears: was convinced he’d take over that backfield. Whether due to injury or incompetent QB played, never really shined through
Many rookie RBs: Benson, Corum, Vidal, Laube, Shipley (never really got a shot), Wright, Brooks…pretty much all but Tracy. Still some future value there, but…yeah
JSN: did end the season taking over quite a bit, but too little, too late
Deebo Samuel: despite having a legit shot at being “the guy”, really never did anything
Zay Flowers: played pretty well, but did not take the step I anticipated
Tillman: showed the reasons I was high on him, but injury put a halt to momentum
Worthy: while came on late, has not been what o anticipated
Mims: more flashes, but absolutely no consistency to that offense
Estime/McL/Williams: almost nothing I anticipated with that backfield came true. Flashes for all of them, but nothing with any level of consistency leading to points on the bench.
Jonathon Taylor: total inconsistency at QB, and inconsistency when he was featured made JT a tough player to own
ETN: no idea what happened to this dude. Incompetent offense, better play from Bigsby, and ineffective play from ETN made for a terrible player to own.
