This is not a surprise at all considering the theory has always been that quarterback is the most replaceable position and easiest to stream. It was the only position to hit the value threshold more often than not. All in all, 16 different quarterbacks made an appearance in this column with 11 of them making multiple appearances.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheGridironLS\/status\/1347568280479932417?s=20<\/p>\n<p>The king of this position in 2020 was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/F\/FitzRy00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ryan Fitzpatrick<\/a>. He made four appearances and hit value all four times. The only other quarterback to make four successful appearances was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/MinsGa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gardner Minshew<\/a>, but he also had a fifth appearance that did not hit value. Speaking of five appearances, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BridTe00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Teddy Bridgewater<\/a>, Mitchell Trubisky, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/CousKi00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kirk Cousins<\/a> and the aforementioned Minshew tied for the most appearances.

Jones made three appearances and was a bust all three times.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Running Back \u2013\u00a018-28-2<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Checking in at third place in terms of accuracy rate is the running back position. This is another that is not a surprise considering how hard it is to stream running backs. This position also had the most turnover as well. It makes sense because the running back position generally has the most injuries and when an injury does occur, it\u2019s generally one player that comes into big value and is the big waiver wire add. There were 33 different players that made an appearance in this column but only 11 made multiple appearances.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">So you picked up Salvon Ahmed off waivers&#8230;now what?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/adamrank?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@adamrank<\/a>&#39;s on the NFL Fantasy Football Show with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarcasG?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@MarcasG<\/a> today!

It\u2019s been theorized that the wide receiver position has much more variance and is generally easier to stream than the running back position. While there is nothing definitive from these results, it does seem to be slightly easier and can be had for cheaper on the waiver wire more often than not. There were 27 different players that made an appearance in this column this season with 15 of them making multiple appearances.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Imagine leaving a fantasy football draft without Sterling Shepard<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/agBKGgu57F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/agBKGgu57F<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ian Hartitz (@Ihartitz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ihartitz\/status\/1301275792547213312?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 2, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>There was a clear-cut king when it came to the wide receiver position in this column in 2020 and his name was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/S\/ShepSt00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sterling Shepard<\/a>.

It wasn\u2019t even close and goes to show just how brutal the position was all season. The tight end position was the only position that had players make at least six appearances and there were three of them that did so. All in all, there were 18 different tight ends that made an appearance but only eight of them made multiple appearances.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/WFTeamer\/status\/1350239701542854657?s=20<\/p>\n<p>The king of this position and frankly this article overall was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/T\/ThomLo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Logan Thomas<\/a>. Thomas held it down for the tight ends as his nine appearances and five wins were both the most for any tight end and for any player at any position. Part of that came because it took so long for people to buy into Thomas and another because of his inconsistency. Joining Thomas was Dalton Schultz with seven appearances and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BurtTr01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trey Burton<\/a> with six appearances. On the opposite end was Jordan Akins. Akins made three appearances and busted all three times. Schultz took the crown for most times as a bust with five.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Looking Forward to 2021<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There\u2019s plenty of time until the 2021 fantasy football season but it\u2019s never too early to look towards next year. There are certainly some tweaks to the format that will be made. The first change is that the recommendations will be made BEFORE waivers run. This will give a wider player pool and give people a better idea of the players that they should put claims in for. The next change will be that each position\u2019s \u201cwin\u201d threshold will be based on weekly finish relative to its own position rather than an arbitrary point threshold. This helps in that some weeks a 10 point start at running back could be helpful while other weeks it wouldn\u2019t. These changes should help give a better idea of which players were worthy of an add and a start.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"1Hc9XGM-RPVK9noXjMXpvQ\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1289994649\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'1Hc9XGM-RPVK9noXjMXpvQ',sig:'xPkPiyf2WYTi6mfhLpmkCN9uF69VUiw3J0lhRVqjeD0=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1289994649',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fantasy Football Stream Team Season Recap; Ryan Fitzpatrick, Logan Thomas, and more take home the season recap honors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3451,"featured_media":102337,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59,54],"tags":[294,61,5894,40,559,7141,515],"class_list":["post-102271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy","category-editorials","tag-fantasy-football","tag-football","tag-logan-thomas","tag-nfl","tag-ryan-fitzpatrick","tag-salvon-ahmed","tag-sterling-shepard"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3451"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102271\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
