Identifying More Undervalued Running Backs with Usage Visualization

Earlier this week I posted usage visualizations for running backs drafted in the first, second, and third rounds of current MFL10s.[1]ADP data based on drafts from the most recent week: 3/18/15-3/24/15 Those visualizations gave us an idea of which RBs have the potential for elite usage this year, with the knowledge that RB production is closely tied to usage and RBs with elite usage (over…...

How Much Does Jimmy Graham Help the Seattle Seahawks?

  Let’s try to quantify how – and where – Jimmy Graham improves the Seattle offense. Jimmy Graham in decline? There are some obvious concerns with Graham. Entering his age 29 season, he posted career lows in yards/game, yards/reception, and yards/target last year. On the other hand, his target percentage, touchdown rate, TDs/game, and catch rate remained solid. Here’s Graham compared to the other top five…...

All the Reasons You Need to Pick Up Tyler Gaffney Right Now

Consider this a Public Service Announcement to add running back Tyler Gaffney in all dynasty leagues. Given Gaffney’s All Pro Comparables it’s no surprise that he was one of James Todd’s Speculative Dynasty Stashes last October; since then everything has broken right for the former Stanford Cardinal. With Shane Vereen now on the Giants and Stevan Ridley currently unemployed, there’s a ton of opportunity up for grabs in the Patriots…...

Irrational Exuberance and is Cody Latimer a Bust?

I’m sure that before clicking on this article some people were saying, “it’s too soon to say if Cody Latimer’s a bust.” To some extent, that’s true. We’re not soothsayers, clairvoyants, prophets, or anything else of that ilk. We won’t know if he’s a bust until his career is over. But in a very real sense he has also already been a bust, returning no value to…...

Identifying Undervalued Running Backs with Usage Visualization

I recently wrote a post on Justin Forsett, Matt Forte, and “The Trestman Effect” where I looked at usage (snap percentage) versus PPR points. The correlation league-wide was even stronger than I expected, with the vast majority of running backs scoring within +/- 50 points of the regression line. Usage is particularly important in PPR leagues because flukier types of scoring like touchdowns are de-emphasized, and reception points…...
