Does anyone know of a way to look up stats like this? Baseball-reference allows looking up player seasons by raw numbers (>35 HR for instance) but not by yearly rank (top 10 in HR for instance). Does anyone know of a site where you can do searches like this? I'm also interested in season...

How much would an extra bench position be worth to you? Obviously this depends on the number you have ... the marginal value for that next spot goes down the more you have. I was thinking that an interesting way of valuing these spots would simply be to make them draftable. Say you're in a 12...

I think having a certain number of bench spots dedicated to certain positions would help fix some problems in current common league formats. By "dedicated positional bench spots" I mean, for instance, that you have 2 spots that can only be QBs, 2 for TEs, etc. and then possibly some number of...

25 pass yards per point, 10 rush yards per point, -2 points per interception, 6 points per TD Cam Newton's and Andy Dalton's 2012 stats were all multiplied by 4/3 (12 games played). Cam Newton 769 Dan Marino 670 Andy Dalton 605 Peyton Manning 566 Carson Palmer 530 Cam Newton extends his...

This is as of week 12, after the Thanksgiving games but before the rest of the games (I apologize, but it's black Friday morning and I'm at home, bored). Top players by receiving yards: Calvin Johnson Andre Johnson Reggie Wayne Wes Welker Roddy White By receptions: Jason Witten Welker...

The commish in one of my leagues just made a trade for Cruz, giving away Eli. The commish is 7-3, the team receiving Eli is 3-7 and already has Rivers and Roethlisberger (hurt). Available as FAs are Fitzpatrick, Flacco, Russell Wilson, Ponder, Cutler, etc. (it's a 1 QB, 10 team league). Is...

For people who have actually watched the games this year, what is wrong with their team? Cam making bad decisions / poor throws? O-line not pass protecting / run blocking well? Bad decisions by the RBs? Bad play calling? WRs not getting open? Is Steve Smith getting double/triple teamed on...

So, I came up with a method for ranking players overall based on stat projections, and compared that to their ADP. I don't want to get into the methodology (although I can if anyone cares), I just wanted to post some results and see what the FBG community thinks. This is based on 6 points for...

I was thinking about other ways of drafting players, and I came up with some interesting methods. Has anyone heard of these or things like them? 1) You should be able to draft waiver spots (for those leagues that use the waiver wire). In a snake draft, you just draft a spot like drafting a...

Hi all, I did an analysis of how QBs' play changes from their rookie to 2nd year and here it is. I'll give some info on my data and then the results. Data was collected for every QB who was a rookie in 2000 or later (arbitrary year, but I didn't want to go back too far since the game is...

Outside the big 3 in no particular order: Chris Johnson Darren McFadden Maurice Jones Drew Ahmad Bradshaw Matt Forte Jamaal Charles Ryan Matthews Trent Richardson others Every guy but one on this list has some major flaw: injury, bad year, holdout, is a rookie, talented backup etc...

I'm sure this has been discussed, but what do you guys think of grabbing Gronk in round ~2 and Hernandez in ~5, assuming you can flex a TE? You've got your flex position filled and they handcuff each other. This seems like it makes a lot of sense if you buy into the 2nd round TE stuff and were...

So, I enjoy doing stats stuff, and I had compiled player projections from 5 different sites to compare. And it occurred to me that the spread of the projections gives an indication of how confident the expert community is as a whole about a player's upcoming performance. And if you think about...

Hey all, I wanted to post some results from a drafting simulation I've been running. The next couple paragraphs will be explanation. You can find the results at the end, followed by some additional comments. I originally started this project with the hopes of checking various draft strategies...

First of all, hi, I'm new. One of my interests in fantasy football is in statistical analysis, so this post is going to be somewhat technical. I was thinking of a way to analyze what position to draft first (or second, third etc.). Anyway, this is what I came up with. If this type of...
