He uses his own proprietary model to find great DFS values and often differs from the computer in how a player is projected to play on a daily basis.

SEASON FANTASY RECAP AND TREND

Kevin Knox is a bench player and spot starter this past fantasy season. He is the #141 ranked fantasy player this season and the #27 power forward. His ranking drops to the #35 ranked power forward when basing it on average fantasy points. He was trending up for the season. In his first 24 games he averaged 16.1 FPs. He improved to 20.5 in his final 25 games. Based on a relatively low standard deviation, Knox can be considered a consistent fantasy player. He averaged 19 FPs, but on any given day his projected ceiling is as high as 42 fantasy points.
