Love this from our Adam Harstad:

I like the concept here but it also makes me wonder, can you create like an EPA metric for fantasy players like they do with each play in an nfl game? (Not sure who really brought epa into the “mainstream”. Brian Burke? Pff?)

Anyway, the idea would be to determine how much a player contributes to a win in a given week. I agree that that the idea of what the player does in each individual week he is active is more important than the total points he scores (in head to head leagues of course). So I am wondering if there is an EPA or WAR type metric that would be helpful for comparing players in this way. Maybe this already exists, so please point me to it if so.
