Heyward has to be one of the most overrated players coming into the league.

I thought I made a great trade when I flipped Bruan, who I thought would continue to struggle and/or have surgery on his thumb, for Heyward + Cingrani. Now, I'm not so sure.

They have been 2 of the most overrated fantasy players for years.

You'll blink and before you know it these guys are 30 and haven't went 30 or 100 yet

For Upton, the hype was appropriate. He tallied .898 OPS in his 21 and 23-year-old seasons, with 26 and 31 home runs, respectively.

Yes...it's the regression that is astounding. I traded him a couple years ago, just in time.

That's the issue

A guy has one good season as a young player and 5 years later is still riding the wave as an elite fantasy player based on what he might do.

Now your in a lineup not conducive to producing run/RBI opps in a pitchers park

They are obviously talented players but consistency separates those guys from the true great fantasy guys
