It's the summer, which means I'm spending most of my time reviewing hockey statistics and watching countless hours of Netflix (the Killing is coming back!!)
One mental exercise I've found to be particularly helpful is taking a player's numbers from this past season, making sure to avoid looking at his name, and trying to guess who it was. What became immediately apparent is how much my individual biases are impacting my fantasy evaluations. When breaking a player down to his pure statistical output, you sometimes see things you missed before.
