2018 Historical Projections: TE Volatility Scores

Within the Stat Explorer, I included historical projections. These projections use a player’s stat line from 2017 to identify players that recorded similar seasons in years past.[1]In cases such David Johnson’s, where a player missed the majority of the season, I used data from 2016. By looking at the performance of these comparable players, in the season subsequent to their matching season, we can build a range of outcomes…...

The Points Per Target Danger Zone: More Wide Receivers Due for Regression

In a previous post, we discussed the “PPT Danger Zone” and established that points per target (PPT) is not a sticky stat. The relationship between a wide receiver’s PPT in year N has little correlation with his PPT in year N+1. Simply put, we can’t count on a player’s efficiency in terms of PPT carrying from season to season…....

Nick Chubb Drafted Into A Cleveland Nightmare

With pick No. 35 in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns selected Georgia running back Nick Chubb. Chubb exploded onto the national scene as a freshman and may have been the Bulldog’s best back despite sharing the field with Todd Gurley, Sony Michel, and Keith Marshall.[1]You could argue that this means it’s the school and not the player, but Gurley’s success is a valid counterpoint. He suffered a significant injury as a sophomore…...
