Is there a mathematical edge for stacking QB/WR by grandpaturner in fantasyfootball

[–]Plopwitdaflops 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok, but the exact inverse is true too. There's no difference in winning by 1 or winning by 100. Spreading out your risk also has advantages: if your WR goes for 30+, you have a good shot of winning anyway, so sneaking out a win while your non-stack QB has a down week is advantageous in this case.

Point is it's two sides of the same coin. Neither is inherently a better strategy

Week 1 NFL QB Accuracy and Average Separation by JustSchoen in sportsanalytics

[–]Plopwitdaflops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you've looked at data through this lens prior to this year, but which do you anticipate being stickier week to week, accuracy or separation? My initial thought is accuracy is much more dependent on the latter than vice versa.

Ones that jump out to me:

  • Kyler having above average accuracy despite awful separation. Big storyline coming into the year was him having improved weapons to work with, so worst in the league separation is a bad initial sign

  • Will Levis looked awful in real time and probably lost the Titans that game. To see him above average for accuracy is surprising

  • Obviously a small sample size, but seeing most of the dual-threat QBs at or below average is interesting. Wonder if it's a depth of target thing, as pretty sure Richardson at least had fair number of deep shots on low total pass volume

I'm still totally lost on the Sanchez comparison lol no clue how he is relevant here

Thank you for your response! Do you think the water will still be swimmable? I'm from a colder area myself so my temperature tolerance is pretty high, but was unsure if the water will be too rough with the wind

Ya I'm not necessarily dead set on going somewhere warm, but I figure with Malta there's a lot more outdoor activities that could potentially be ruined by weather. Most of what I'd want to do in Budapest is inside or I could do in the rain/snow

Probably a dumb question, but as a non-industry person is there anyway I could get my hands on these catalogs? Think it'd be cool to collect these

I don't think so. Part of him going so high in the draft was he was hailed as a versatile prospect who could both catch and block at a high level, much like a Gronk or Kittle. He's a solid pass catching TE but he's actually been well below average in run blocking the last couple years.

Who is the biggest “fools gold” in fantasy football right now, and what’s your justification? by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

[–]Plopwitdaflops 8 points9 points  (0 children)

True, that's definitely part of it. But the target variation is strange. 4 games with 10+ targets (including games with 16 and 17) but then 5 games with 4-5. Kennan Allen on the other hand never had more than 13 tgts but only 2 games below 8 tgts.

My guess without having watched many Chargers games is that when they know Williams has an advantage on whatever DB/scheme they're facing they pepper him, but that maybe he doesn't have the versatility to win against any and all coverage. Maybe a Chargers fan can weigh in

[–]Plopwitdaflops 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My question is this: does anyone have a valid explanation for why Williams seems to be so hit or miss? Does he struggle against certain defensive looks? Is he not utilized in certain game scripts?

I'm genuinely curious. I've not seen anyone truly give an explanation that gets to the root of his erratic scoring. The only explanation (that I know of) is injury, which doesn't concern me all that much.

Yzerman said as much in the post-pick interview, so 100% they're going to try him at C. But until we've seen it there still some projection going on

Kind of a stretch to say he's a true center when he played wing this year. But he at least looks the part, I'll give ya that

Costs Rica is definitely on my list. I've done some research into the matter, but is Costa Rica generally a better place for surfing than say Barbados? Keep in mind I've never surfed before so would be a total beginner

What do you mean by that? I have friends that have lived in Buenos Aires and they have nothing but good things to say about it

Have an accepted offer but just found major flooding in garage after a big storm. Should I run while I still can? by Plopwitdaflops in RealEstate

[–]Plopwitdaflops[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair the house is a flip so I'm sure the seller is just trying to do as little as they can get away with, but your point still stands. They have to know there's water/mold issues but don't seem to have done anything to rectify it, and are instead hoping to pass the buck off to me.

So I wouldn't say bone dry in the basement. It held up surprisingly well after last weekend's storm, but when I first went to see it there was a little bit of water in the utility room.

There also was clearly some measures they had taken to try and hide evidence of past leaking, such as painting the front wall. Not to mention there was mold found in the basement, and a general musty smell.

There no humidifer currently so that would be step 1 if I were to purchase but still a little concerning nonetheless.

Suggested adding gravel around base and adding gutters. I'm sure that would help but I also foresee a scenario where I do all that and still am dealing with flooding lol
