We’re at the point of the season that we kinda know who players are. Are they performing up to expectations or are the struggling to live up to the hopes placed on their shoulders? That said, do we really “know” who players are? Is it possible that the guy that started out hot has seen his performance cave of late? Perhaps that slow starter, whose overall numbers are still lacking, has actually performed pretty darn well of late? Let’s investigate how these players have performed of late and see if they meet your expectations for the players.
