SEASON FANTASY RECAP AND TREND

Freddie Freeman was the #11 ranked fantasy player this season and the #2 1B. His elite ranking was helped by his higher games played (162). Based on average fantasy points he is the #6 1B. His production dropped throughout the season. In his first 53 games he averaged 3.8 FPs and that declined to 2.8 in his final 54 games. His fantasy production is stable and he is not as volatile as most players based on a below average standard deviation. He averaged 3.2 FPs, but on any given day his projected ceiling is as high as 16 fantasy points.
