Minor but I do think fantasy football information is trending towards optimized. At least for amateurs. I assume on there's some avant garde analysis for DFS players where people are building super slick algorithms and there's probably a lot of edge still be gained there.
But for the 'standard' season long leagues with your buddies/office for 'casual' people, like $500 or less -- I honestly think there's decreasing edge year to year for sharper players. I've been playing ffb since the late 1990s when everyone was terrible and it was super easy money. If you even looked at injury reports, you were better than half your league. If you knew about how teams used roles and who was going to get touches game to game and capable of understanding game scripts and which offenses were potent versus ****ty, you were better than 80% of your league.
Now in your typical league, everyone is subscribed to footballguys or 4for4 or whatever else and there's basically no edge anymore imo. Or even just scanning twitter. FFB information/industry has exploded and there's tons of free, good information out there for anyone willing to invest a few hours that help with waiver pick ups, trade values, lineup decisions, etc. Just a crapshoot now. Which is fine. I think it's probably better for the semi-serious fan to trend to randomized.
