tiering with VBD? (1 Viewer)

[jswalker1981]

Does anyone use tiering while using VBD? I'm thinking of making tiers of 32 fantasy points (2 pts per game), and after creating tiers for each position, create the VBD #. Then I would just hide the fantasy points column, so my draft would be based on the VBD, but it would help to have the tiers so I know if a similar position player can be available a little bit later. I'm just wondering if anyone does something like this?

If you're going to use tiering, you should also include something for volatility. Are you really looking at 2 pts per game, or are you looking at 16 pts one game, and 1 pt per game for the rest of the projection difference?Yes, it makes sense to group similar players together into buckets so you know whether you have options. How you determine similarity is the question. Total pts over the season is just one way.

Yep, makes sense. given how imperfect projections are, I often will group players into tiers and give them the same exact projection and then run VBD. Within a tier, I rank by volatility (likelihood of hitting that projection) and by age (since I'm in a keeper/dynasty league, and young guys are worth more).
