Slumps don't care how well-known a player may be or if he's appeared on our weekly All-Dud team before. They strike indiscriminately, usually without warning, and tend to stick around far longer than anyone wants them to.
They're like the guests you have over who can't take the hints you've been dropping all night that "hey, it's time for you to leave."
But unlike those unwelcome house guests, slumps can't be forcefully removed from a player's presence. In fact, there's no cure-all. What works for one player might only make things worse for another or have no impact at all.
Taking both traditional and advanced statistics into consideration, let's look at the players who are digging deep into their bag of tricks in an attempt to make the regular season's 21st week a far more productive one than the 20th was.
