Fantasy Football Advanced Stats Week 3

Fantasy Football Advanced Stats Week 3

The fantasy football stats we see show up on the box score, and in our fantasy leagues, are the result of many things. A player’s usage, opportunities, team context, and game script all play a part in what we see happen out on the field. To that end, it is helpful after we have a week’s worth of games to look deeper into the advanced statistics to see why certain things happen the way they did. Hopefully, this will help us better predict what will come in the future.

This weekly piece will look at several of the most interesting advanced stats from the previous slate of games. We will use it to determine if what we saw in the box score is signal or noise in terms of what to expect in future weeks.
