If you visit this blog over the next weeks, months and hopefully years you are going to see the term Relative Fantasy Value or RFV. I thought I’d take a second to explain exactly what it is.
Back in the mid-1990's, Joe Bryant of FootballGuys came up with a concept called Value Based Drafting or VBD. The basic idea behind VBD is the value of a player is determined not by the number of points he scores, but by how much he outscores his peers at his particular position. Bryant's concept was created to be used during fantasy football drafts, using player projections and player baselines to determine if you should draft the #10 quarterback, the #22 running back, or the #39 wide receiver.
