All offseason long, PFF Fantasy Editor Daniel Kelley has been playing with fantasy numbers. Sometimes it's in service of hunting down a strong fantasy lesson, but sometimes it's as simple as looking for something fun.
That's been the basis for the Crazy Fantasy Stat of the Day. Twice a week, he's shared something from the fantasy numbers that caught his eye. Maybe some player is being used like nobody else. Maybe some player is better (or worse) at something than anybody we've ever tracked. And maybe it's just a matter of looking at kickers, who never get that much attention.
