Yeah, I got that it was for FGA. I would think that theoretically, that should be a more helpful metric. FFPA is affected by a number of different factors that have nothing to do with the opponent. But if FGA has predictive value, that would be very helpful. It's kind of similar to RB volume or WR targets. All things equal, I'd prefer a K who I know is going to get the most attempts.
The only reasons it wouldn't be helpful is if a) it correlates with something really obvious, or b) there is too much randomness to offer long-term predictive value. It seems like a) might be true, since that table seems to correlate with overall record. I was asking if b) was true, too.
This isn't a pure academic exercise for me, BTW. I currently have Gano, who's facing Minnesota. Intuitively, that sounds like a bad match-up, but this table suggests maybe it's not as bad. Still probably going to swap him out for Koons, though (and not because Washington is at the bottom of the list).
