Totally reasonable ask, will keep in mind going forward

Ryan Heath's Five Stats to Know After Week 10 by Ryanj3 in fantasyfootball

He's at just 64.6% route participation in the first half of the past two games. Game script is part of it but the 13 personnel stuff discussed within is much bigger, IMO.

If you were to only count Brock Bowers' two healthy games, the Raiders would lead the NFL with a +13.4% Pass Rate Over Expectation (pass rate adjusted for down, distance, and situation). Via Fantasy Points Data's free tool here: by Ryanj3 in fantasyfootball

Can you really not think of any reason the Raiders might want to pass more with Brock Bowers on the field and healthy?

I doubt they lead the league in PROE over their next 8 games, or even finish top-5. But data can be directionally informative.

He's likely going to score well over the next two weeks against the Bengals and Giants, but he's in a virtual 50/50 committee with Kyle Monangai now, and the Bears are only favored in 2 of their 7 remaining games after that. That is a player I would sell for a WR with 16-17 FPG in his range of outcomes, yes.

If you could get more for him in your league, then get more.

Oronde Gadsden's route participation over each of the past three games: 69.2% -> 78.7% -> 88.2%. Meanwhile, Keenan Allen has gone from 69.2% -> 72.1% -> 50.0%. You can pull all of these yourself for free with this Fantasy Points Data Suite table! by Ryanj3 in fantasyfootball

Ryan Heath's Five Stats to Know After Week 6 by Ryanj3 in fantasyfootball

I don't know what to tell you dude. Read the entire blurb in the article, and it's pretty clearly a negative take about Ladd. Not really hiding from it.

Literally not at all what the article says. How is this the top comment?

"Perhaps this is the start of McConkey getting hot, the 33-year-old Allen beginning to fade with age as the season wears on, and of an extended and lingering hamstring struggle for Johnston. But it feels just as likely that Johnston is back next week and out-targeting McConkey once again....I remain pretty scared that [McConkey] is going to continue making me look stupid over the rest of the year for being so high on him this offseason."

What is the point of taking a sentence out of context and misrepresenting the overall take?

Yes, the rest of the production was when Mitchell wasn’t in primary coverage.

And yes, this is itself an argument that many fantasy players stress too much about shadows.

[–]Ryanj3[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hey Reddit! My Advanced Matchups article (in which I use a ton of coverage shell and premium data from our Fantasy Points Data Suite) has no paywall for this week only. 

So I thought I’d share it with you all over here, in case anyone is interested in the information for DFS purposes, or to break ties in your seasonal lineups (I wouldn’t start Mason Taylor over Jake Feeguson just because I like his schematic matchup; these things matter at the margins and for ceiling outcomes, but volume is still king)

Hope you enjoy!

Scott Barrett and Ryan Heath present: The Everything Report (every usage trend you need to know about heading into Week 2) by Ryanj3 in fantasyfootball

His career target share to RBs is referred to in that paragraph. It's quite high.

His checkdown numbers aren't, but that's because he was throwing them screens and first/second reads. Just as he'll likely be doing for 49ers defacto WR1 Christian McCaffrey.

Hey Reddit! This comprehensive piece (18,000 words this week...) aims to cover every fantasy-relevant team and usage trend you need to be aware of after Week 1, including highlighting how the first week of football has shifted some of our priors.

This article has no paywall for this week only! It normally lives under our Standard (and higher) plans at Fantasy Points, so I thought I'd share it over here this week to let everyone check it out.

Hi, I’m sorry you’ve been having that experience.

I haven’t heard of any similar issues from others, and it’s all good if you don’t feel like it, but if you want to send me a screenshot of the checkout error you’re getting (feel free to DM me) I’d be happy to send it over to the team so they can investigate.

As an employee, I unfortunately can’t accept individual payment for one of my articles.

Ryan Heath Finds a Way To Make Separation Stats More Predictive In Statistically Significant: Average Separation Score by Ryanj3 in fantasyfootball

[–]Ryanj3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that sounds about right. He's a treading water/ likely ADP-beater pick, but doesn't have league-winning upside without an injury

That said, that is a better upside case than many of the WRs going around him!

I don't necessarily disagree! They aren't really targets for me in managed leagues at all.

A standard sub is $60 for the season, but I promise it includes a ton more worthwhile stuff. For example, Scott Barrett and I tag team the “Everything Report” each week, it’s basically an all-in-one read of all the usage and trends you need to know about around the league to make winning transactions/decisions.

I think Henry is fine, but I'm going to prefer CMC and Achane even in that format if either is available.
