The midway point of the fantasy football season is already here, and it seems that the year has flown by. There have been some players that have broken out (Knowshon Moerno and Keenan Allen) and others have completely fallen from grace (Chris Johnson and Maurice Jones-Drew) within the fantasy community.
There have also been numerous injuries to some first and second round talent. Injuries always ruin fantasy seasons and this has been one of the most injury-riddled seasons in sometime. The season is only half over, though, so stay with it. Don’t give up and start selling your players for drafts picks. There are still eight weeks left and anything can happen.
