The Age 27 Factor

The age of 27 has always been that magical number that hardcore fantasy owners notice each year come draft time. Many target different players base on this number alone. Yes, there is statistical proof that many players have their “career year” when 27 but many more do not. What the age 27 year guide should be is merely another tool in your belt come draft day.  The list I have compiled does have many interesting names that I would target regardless of their current age. What you should use this list for mostly is when you are on the fence between a couple of player when your draft slot approaches. I personally may lean to the age 27 player when drafting. Some of my favorite on this list that are not 1st or 2nd rounders include, De Aza, Joyce, Walker, Stubbs, and Upton.
