One of my favorite ways to prep for the upcoming week of football games is to use the GLSP tool. Those projections use sophisticated modeling techniques to find a range of outcomes, and as such, they do a better job of capturing the inherent uncertainty of weekly projections than many other systems. But they aren’t perfect: they are blind to a few factors, such as injuries and team changes. For that reason, it’s often useful to take in some additional context when formulating a weekly plan.
With that in mind, I present the RotoViz in-season rankings. These rankings don’t match GLSP perfectly, but they do take it very seriously. In cases where a ranking diverges sharply from GLSP, I’ll offer a brief explanation in the table. I’ll also include notes about team injuries that could impact fantasy outcomes.
Most of the additional context, however, comes from a closer look at the advanced team metrics. This is where the Wrong Read comes in. The advanced team stats offer another way to look at upcoming matchups and to evaluate the projections and rankings through a different lens.
