Always Double Down on 14

Earlier today Teddy Bridgewater left Vikings practice with an apparently gruesome injury that will likely make him unavailable for the 2016 season.

Using Air Yards Per Target and Machine Learning to Dominate Your 2016 Drafts

Last week Josh Hermsmeyer introduced to us air yards per target (aYPT), which aside from charting differences, is identical to Pro Football Focus’ aDOT. However, he was able to further break down receiving into its constituent components: air yards, whether the ball was caught or not, and if caught, the yards created after the catch….

3 Bounce Back Wide Receivers for 2016

In last week’s article, I used previous years’ ADP to pinpoint bounce back wide receivers. I noted that there were three reasons a WR saw his ADP drop: 1) an underwhelming year, 2) an injury that hampered their season, or 3) uncertainty with a scenario change. Here are three names that I am targeting in drafts, that fall into one or more of these categories: Randall Cobb, Jordan…...

2016’s Most Over and Undervalued TEs Based on Targets

When Fantasy Douche released his 2015 article about targets being the lifeblood of fantasy scoring, it shed light on something that we must all hold dear when figuring out who to draft. Opportunity is everything, yet time and time again we find players who are over and undervalued using this simple filter. Having already done that for wide receivers, my mission today is to uncover those…...
