If you play dynasty fantasy football, it is nearly impossible to not consider age. After all, that's kind of the whole point, right? Build a dynasty that can win year-in and year-out. As a result, age ends up a part of every decision making process: the startup draft, trades, rookie drafts, etc. But are we thinking about age the right way? Getting age curves right is imperative for dynasty fantasy football.
Because the various NFL positions have different play-styles and risks associated with them, they age differently as their NFL careers go on. It likely isn't fair to compare a 28 year-old WR to a 28 year-old RB.
