His best fantasy QB ranking was #1 in 1999 and 2001, and he has had a total of 3 seasons with a top 5 ranking. Fantasy Trends: Warner's fantasy game average per year has been going up for 2 years, and has been trending up 4 out of the past 6 years. Player Consistency: Kurt Warner was one of the top 25 most consistent QBs last year (ranked 16), and he was one of the top 25 most consistent players overall (ranked 17). Career Experience Outlook: Warner is entering his 12th year in the NFL. Over the past 15 years, on average, QBs in their 12th year have seen a decrease in fantasy pts per game of 1.19 from their 11th year. Position Outlook: Throughout his career Warner has averaged 1.49 fantasy pts per game more than the league QB average. The average fantasy pts per game by QBs in 2008 was 14.57. Depth Chart Change: No Change in Depth Chart. Player Turnover: Based on prior performance, a change in roster skilled positions projects a lower fantasy average of (0.25) pts per game for Warner. At the Running Back/Full Back position: Tim Hightower (2008 Avg: 7.15 Pts/Game) is no longer starting and Dan Kreider and Chris Wells have been added to the starting lineup. Schedule Difficulty: Based on winning percentage the teams on the schedule Warner played last year (111 - 96 - 1 0.536%) were more difficult compared to the teams on the schedule for the upcoming season (100 - 108 - 0 0.481%), and this season's teams gave up more points (4,734) compared to last season's teams (4,468) so this could mean more fantasy points. Performance Against Sub 500 Teams: Warner had a lower fantasy avg (19.84 pts/game) against winning teams last year compared to teams with a losing record (20.66 pts/game), and with a less difficult schedule for the upcoming season it could also be a indication of a better fantasy season. Defenses: From a defensive standpoint, Warner faced defenses that were stronger last year (Avg. Total Yards Against Ranking: 15.38 - 5 Top 10 Defenses and 1 Top 5 Defense) compared to the upcoming season (Avg. Total Yards Against Ranking: 15.92 - 5 Top 10 Defenses and 2 Top 5 Defenses), and this season's teams gave up more passing yards (217 yds/game including 3 Top 10 Defenses and 2 Top 5 Defenses) compared to last season's teams (214 yds/game including 4 Top 10 Defenses and 2 Top 5 Defenses). Starting Position Performance against Defenses: Starting Quarterbacks averaged more points (15.70 pts/game) against last season's teams compared to this season's teams (15.53 pts/game), which could make it difficult for Warner to match last year's fantasy point total. In Season Trends: Throughout his career Warner has been a slow finisher, but has had his best 4 game stretch during the third quarter of the year (19.47 pts per game), followed by the 1st quarter (19.15 pts per game), 2nd quarter (18.35 pts per game) and 4th quarter (17.48 pts per game).
