Flameouts?

Do high volatility players decline more quickly? I seem to be finding more 24 and 25 year olds going -1 or -2 in a season, especially if they're 80+ volatility. Didn't know if there's a connection.

Also curious if using players outside their "real" position (LB as DE, WR as FB) speeds up a player's decline.

i have found i can switch a player position and turn a prog decline to a prog incline.

Sweet FA to a regular day.

also, sometimes Vol changes after the draft. Well, usually and often by +/- 10 points. Usually.

As I understand from others, Vol only impacts training camp boom/bust max/min progress.
It used to be once a player has prog dec, they always would.
that is not the case now.
Seems to me the most important part of changing positions is about weight and it's relevance to speed and lesser so, acceleration.
I might draft a wr to be a rb, but I'm a bit more inclined to hold on a player change for rooks until after t/c. The reasons are personal superstitions: keep at the drafted position if they progress, i change, if not, i well - whatever i can do depending on cap.
If it's a 1+yr exp player off of FA, i change immediately after acquiring.

I'll still change a rook at draft, but it's all gut, no science, just like RFK Jr in a pharmacy.

It's only been the last 2 drafts (6 months actual time) that I began to wait to change position until post tc.
I used to do it at immediately after drafting.

Volatility has become so volatile no one actually knows what the F it does other than boom or bust at T/c.
That's all I know about the big V.
At least as it pertains to MFN.
know what i mean nudge nudge? double entendres? Yeah? right?

Thank god for Eric Idle.

lol.
