A Note on Preseason Highlights…
Reminder that big preseason performances are not news, and that preseason production has no correlation to regular season production. So as cool as it is to see players like DeZhaun Stribling, Ty Simpson, and KC Concepcion balling out, these performances have not shifted our projections, and should not shift their ADPs!
