Hello and welcome to Market Fantasy!

It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve posted with football just getting going and baseball winding down, but I have a flurry of new activity ready to go now. Let’s start off with a quick review of the 2013 football FOW. As many of you know, I create an “index” of football players similar to the real life DOW. Throughout the season I will track player values and use these values to determine other ways to compare fantasy players or track overall trends in the fantasy football world.

As you can see, so far the 2013 FOW is up 2% on the year. As can be expected, there is a lot of volatility through the first couple weeks and mostly huge swings in value are cancelling each other out.  One interesting thing to note is how running backs are down from their projected value so far on the year and wide receivers are gaining in value. Defenses as always, remain a crap shoot. I’ll go into more detail what I think we can learn from this in the near future.

As always, thanks for reading!
