In the second in a six-part draft preview series, Fantasy Insanity analyzes tight ends. Next week: quarterbacks.
It is hard to finish on top. “Breaking Bad” did, as well as it’s follow-up “better Call Saul.” Whatever you think of the final seconds of the show, “Sopranos” was strong all the way till the end.
John Elway was at his pinnacle when he retired. Peyton Manning finished his career on top, even if his arm stopped working a season or two prior. Barry Sanders was the best at his position when he called it quits.
But so many others stumble on their way to the finish. Many did not like how “Seinfeld” ended, or “How I Met Your Mother.” The colossal failure that was the final season of “Game of Thrones” is legendary.
Similarly, Todd Gurley’s final days on the field were forgettable. Julio Jones has been clinging to past success longer than “Modern Family” did. It seems like the Ezekiel Elliott show has been running longer than “The Simpsons.”
It is never fun watching stars dim, but if you can spot it happening ahead of time, you can avoid the darkness that comes with poor fantasy picks.
