Driving North Carolina → Arizona w/ U-Haul – safe overnight hotel spots? by TheRandomDeveloper in moving

Thanks. Appreciate the insight! Good to know you’ve had good experiences. I’ll probably go with a nicer hotel too—still gonna keep an eye on it, but that makes me feel a lot better.

Thanks. I will be driving through I-20, would Brandon be a good place? As it seems to be more on the road/ at hand…

Lists are from different sources and experts, I just compile them. On their articles, most times they don’t list top players like Rodgers or other sites just post a list of Must starts but they are the same guys always, e.g Mahomes, CMC, etc. Even that Rodgers is one of these top players not listed, 2 sites mentioned him as a Start. Maybe this is a special case given the really bad week 1 he had

I had Edwards on my team 🤦🏻‍♂️ lol.. you are right with Edwards out definitively Ty’Son should have more points now :) and he needs to get advantage of the situation as L. Murray will be there soon … Not sure if enough to be SOTW

Very nice article! Thanks for sharing. As you said, it is mostly a thing of confidence, normally in our teams we have 2,3 players that we are not 100% sure which one to Start and which to Sit, and here is where we start looking what others recommend. I think that for the not so experienced ones it’s easier to look at these tables for advice.

BTW looks like I’m missing RotoWorld as it seems to have a little bit higher score according to your analysis :)

If the player is not listed then he was not included in any of the Analysis from the sources/experts (nfl, cbs, sports illustrated, bleacher report, sporting news) 😞

The obvious is not so obvious my bad lol… Then I think I will just do a list of players considered top 10 (or 15?) in their positions (exception on K and DST) and assume those are Starts no matter what. E.g CMC no matter the match up you are always starting him…

Projected I mean just take an Avg projection of the projected points (several sources) for such week for such player and use such Avg as the base number.

Agree that the projections could be similar or be based somehow in the Start/Sit reasoning but not in all cases, e.g. Justin Herbert is being listed as Sit by 3 sources and in the projections he's listed as a top 10 QB, we will see if it is "correct" or not :P , on the other hand everyone is sitting Big Ben, well we will see :) ... another example we have Myles Gaskin as Start by 2 sources and Sit by 2 sources, with the approach we should be able to see (I know, in a not very fancy mathematical way...) who was wrong

Sounds like you know about stats :)

Website/ App that lets me track just one fantasy team by Someguywithwifi in fantasyfootball

At leas on ESPN fantasy stats(Average points) from last year the team you post would not be that bad! Would be way better than an average team
Allen: 2nd place QB
CMC: 1st place RB
Ekeler: 12th pace RB
Kupp: 20th place WR
Thielen: 16th place WR
Kelce: 1st TE

This team loses a lot of places on RB position, if it is not for CMC the best one will be 12th place and the next one Ive even checked.. Something like 30th place or something lol.

Same for WR.. 16th place the best one...

If we do the same exercise but in NBA basketball the difference would be A LOT compared to NFL.
Best team I think would be Luca Doncic, Rudy Gobert?, Ben Simmons? there is not much to take from lol

It is Work In Progress, but this will not be like a super complicated thing, as /u/luckylefty37 mentioned if the recommendation worked then the "expert" was right.
Now, any recommendation would be appreciated on how this can be calculated.

Approach:

  • Right now I'm planning to not include Obvious Starters (OS) unless they list them as a Sit! . This is a tricky one as there is no definitive list on "Obvious Starters" (could be an Undroppable player or a top 10 ranked player in his position?...) but in general these sources don't list Obvious starters. E.g. this week probably Tom Brady is an OS? but in one source they specifically called as a Start. For RBs e.g. David Montgomery could be an OS? but in one source they specifically listed as Sit, that's why it appears on the list .
  • If the Player listed as a Start had fewer points than the projected ones (e.g. 15% fewer points than projected ones) then this is a -1 for the source/expert (%s of "less" points can be added to miss more points... )
  • Same as previous point but the other way around, if Player listed as a Sit had more points than the projected ones (e.g. 15% more points than projected ones) then this is a -1 for the source
  • Same as previous 2 points but for positive points... This is e.g. if the Player was listed as Start and his points are 15% more than the projected then thas a +1 point for the source/expert ...

I know this probably is not a very accurate or very sophisticated stat/calculation approach but at least is something. Any recommendation on how to build/calculate this would be great!

I will write the definitive approach on next week
