Fantasy football is only luck if you're bad at it, is way too simplistic and
broad bush. There are people all the time that luck into things and luck out of things.

Sometimes people include kickers in their leagues. I hate have kickers in fantasy, but it's a thing, so I go along with it. I lost in week 1 to a guy in a league because Jake Moody scored like a million points. Sorry, but there is no way to predict scoring for kickers with a lot of accuracy. Kicker scoring is mostly luck.

Another luck aspect is in game injuries. I've had teams this year with Kupp and Rice. Both pacing well to score a lot of points, but it's hard to win a week when someone you expect to put up 15-20 points gets you 5. Or 0.

I don't think luck is generally the reason you win fantasy football, but it can be why you lose. I play a lot. More than I should. I have awesome looking teams that have bad-lucked into bad starts, but I have crappy teams that are winning. It happens all the time. Sometimes you score the second least points in your league in a week, but your opponent scores the least points. I don't think it's all luck. If I did I wouldn't play, but luck plays a huge role in fantasy.
