I want to do some points per game research. Any leads where I can data mine for that?
Find a MFL league or create one for data.Else use FBG's data from last year.

Are you looking for week-by-week or averages?
There's lots of sources....
As someone who likes to manipulate player data on a spreadsheet, the FBG stats don't work. A copy/paste from the above FBG link sticks the entire line of player data in one cell, making it useless for my purposes.The MFL stats are a problem too. While you can get fantasy point info and PPG info, you can't get complete player stats. You can use the advanced stats feature to get passing stats or rushing stats or whatever separately, but you can't get complete player stats. It's frustrating.
Likewise, most sites either lack games played or complete player stats (NFL.com for example does what MFL does, letting you get one type of stat (passing, rushing, receiving) but not the entire player line like FBG does. If only FBG didn't use that php format!
So, I go to Yahoo. It contains games played and full stats, so that I can do a big copy/paste and every data piece goes into its own column, then I can set up additional separate columns with formulas for FP, FP/G, VBD, and VBD/G for each of my leagues' scoring systems.
