Shandler's reign of terror in the fantasy world ended about 8 years ago at the latest and his ranks in the super-elite fantasy leagues have been falling. He found some good tricks for picking sleepers, deployed them...and everyone else figured out what he was doing and now world-beat just as well as he does...in fact better.
I'm not saying he's not a smart guy...he is. VERY smart. I'm saying I don't trust Shandler as much as you seem to...his judgments aren't what they used to be and his fuzzy-logic math, while useful, isn't very scientific compared to the new wave of saberdweebs. He will call some shots still..but that doesn't mean we can't see our own players better than he does with a little more careful brand of analysis.
