Shaw can score very high but also puts out some very low scores. Rance is a more consistent player but with a lower ceiling.Not many teams starting with Shaw down back this year. Any reason? He's priced about $40k more than Rance, Laird et al. which I think I can justify spending. He hasn't missed a game in years, massive average over this time and is a captain option. Could be a great POD.
Starting with Shaw means you will ride all the highs and lows. Not starting with him could reward if he hits his best games early while others have to pay top dollar to bring him in, but also could cost if he stinks it a couple of times early while others will be able to pick up him mid-year at a cheaper price.
Shaw with his more variable scoring is just a bigger gamble than a player such as Rance, that's all. Some will be willing to take the early gamble and some wont. Almost everyone will have him in their team eventually though.
