no, these guys do fantasy football full time. as high stakes players and writers. this information is mostly to help decide between guys in the drafting process. a lot of it for dynasty league drafts, looking at the young guys and how they might turn out.
there is a lot of luck involved. it's entirely possible someone can show up hungover at the draft with an outdated magazine and win with dumb luck against friends. but some of the best players consistantly win. so there is a process behind it.
not sure if any of you do daily fantasy, but there is a shitload of money out there, prizes in the millions now for those championships. and the top players are almost always in the running. that's not all luck.
