Statistics for Fantasy Football

 

With approximately 60 million people around the world playing each week, fantasy football has become almost as popular as the actual NFL games themselves. In this JMP On Air segment, Joseph Bryan, founder/creator of Koalaty Statistics shows us how he uses analytics (along with JMP and R) to produce a week-to-week prediction of how players will perform. As an example, Joseph demonstrates how he used a number of metrics, including the critical metric of “air yards,” (yards the ball travels in the air), to help improve his followers’ chances of picking the right wide receiver during the most recent NFL season. Through the presentation, Joseph also gives you additional nuggets to help your game, including his observation that every player in the NFL is always regressing toward their mean and that good games do not imply more good games and likewise for bad games.
