One of the more useful parts of a fantasy sports draft kit is when the statistics for the upcoming season are projected. Using stats from the previous season, and often the previous seasons, an estimate can be made for how the player will perform. Injuries, retirements, delistings, coaching changes and the change of playing personnel at their club will also affect their numbers.

Older players sometimes suddenly slow down, others have a gradual decline, although Robert Harvey is a different subject and remains a star. Younger players can take a few years to get it, ruckmen can take half a decade, but there are some first year players who defy the trend and are important fantasy players.

These are estimates, so take them with as many grains of salt as required.

The projected numbers for season 2008 are also accompanied by a brief note and also one word to consider for how 2008 will differ from 2007. For many players, especially the established stars, their numbers will be the Same. Varying degrees of Up and Down are signified by the amount of !!!.

Ten of the biggest fantasy stars at each club will have their projected statistics for season 2008 posted. Then other fantasy contributors, including some worthy of being called fantasy stars, from that club will be addressed in another post here. A few minor players form each club, the quietest of the fantasy sleepers, will be overlooked for projected stats but if there is a specific player that you would like added to the list go to the comments section of the post and leave a note for the player you want information on.

He is coming up in part 2 of the Crows' fantasy players. Porplyzia looks like he will be a good addition to fantasy footy teams this season.
