On Average, since our
inception in 1999, we have correctly projected the fantasy direction
on 70-75% of the players.
Last season, our software ranked
George Kittle & Nick Chubb 1
round ahead of their ADP, Kenyan Drake & Austin Hooper 2 rounds ahead of
their ADP, Kenny Galloway & Mark Andrews 3
rounds ahead of their ADP, Darren Waller 4 rounds ahead of
his ADP, and DK Metcalf & Mecole Hardman 5 rounds ahead of their ADP.
These are just a few
examples of the many calls we made in 2019.
The analysis below
measures fantasy points per game for the designated period. The
focus of this analysis is to measure our ability in forecasting
whether a player would have a better or worse fantasy season than
the previous year. It
assumes a generic fantasy scoring league (1 point for 10 yards
rush/receiving, 1 point for 20 yards passing, 6 points for
rushing/receiving TD, 4 points for passing TD) We use Points per
Game as it doesn't penalize for factors such as injuries which would be out of a
prognosticator's control.
