YTD ADP & Actual Positional Ranks

Sandman62 · Post by **Sandman62** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 9:51 am

Oops, no, that's my mistake. I had to fix the NFFC scoring formula on the TE stats page late last night, then re-sort it. But I forgot to copy over the top 20 TEs to the ADP/Actual tab again after that. All set now. And you're right, Gates is #1.

We may find some other bugs in this along the way, but hopefully I'll get them worked out within the next couple weeks and we can enjoy this data the rest of the season. It probably doesn't help us much w/ our weekly team management, but it's intriguing nevertheless to see "Who did we THINK was going to be the best at each position this year and how are they actually doing?", as well as "Who is actually doing the best, and where did we draft them?".

Sandman,

Great work! That is stark information (and proof) that all the pre season projecting doesn't amount to much once the ball gets kicked off. So much stuff changes and team management ends up being a huge part of the final results.

I hope you keep up with that information.. it will be interesting to track. I do think some of the higher ranked players prior to the season will work their way into better positions on the real season rankings.

Thanks Renman. I'm not quite ready after just 3 weeks to agree with you though on "preseason projecting" not mattering. IMHO, over the next month or two, we'll see more of the projected top QBs, TEs and WRs make their way to the top of the actual lists, but I suspect we'll still see nearly 50% of the RBs NOT. That's been our premise the past couple years and largely the reason we prefer to wait on drafting RBs most of the time til round 4 - avoid the super-volatile risky positions and load up on the more consistent ones. YMMV and we shall see.

...if you were to ask anyone (not me) 4 weeks ago, I'd say the majority of FF owners would state that the biggest surprises TO DATE in order here just might be;

1) Michael Vick (1 SNAKEsquad)
2) Brandon Lloyd (2 SNAKEsquads)
3) Brandon Pettigrew (whiffed)
4) Peyton Hillis (whiffed)
5) Kyle Orton (whiffed)
6) Mark Sanchez (1 SNAKEsquad)

...GK [/QUOTE]3 whiffs (strikes) and you're out!

Not to toot my own horn, but I have Knox on 60+ teams and Aromashodu on 0.

BTW, it's 3 games, I wouldn't put any stock into anything other than Alex Smith still stinks, Jason Garrett is an inept OC and the Bills need to coax Jim Kelly out of retirement......and especially, Adrian Peterson is the best back in the league....C.J. doesn't even come close.

No big surprise that you have Knox on more teams than Aromashodu. They're hardly comparable nor were they even at drafts. The bigger challenge at drafts IMO was between Aroma and Bennett.

Its not to hard to pick guys like knox. its trying to find guys like aromashodu that are not expected to be a steady guy in your lineup but is. thats the hard part.
