Fantasy Football Advanced Stats Week 9
The fantasy football stats we see show up on the box score and in our fantasy leagues result from many things. A player’s usage, opportunities, team context, and game script all affect what happens on the field. To that end, after a week’s worth of games, it is helpful 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 examine several of the most interesting advanced stats from the previous slate of games. We will use them to determine whether what we saw in the box score is a signal or noise regarding what to expect in future weeks.
Let’s dive into the eighth week of games and see what we can learn.
Win With FantasyData
Before jumping into this, I want to state the obvious: FantasyData’s DFS tools make life simple. Sure, you can have success without projections, advanced metrics, or an optimizer, but often, these tools will help you find a golden nugget that will put you on a winning path. Finding interesting statistics that make you shift gears to build a lineup using an under-the-radar QB/WR combo or sleeper RB/DEF combo is how to win the game.
