Information Overload: Week 4
Using highly valuable visuals, Aaron Hendrix looks closely at various advanced data sets and then comments on how we can best take advantage in daily fantasy football each week.
Author’s Note – this article will not be completed until sometime Friday (no later than 11:59 pm ET). Until then it’s a work in progress with some of the weekly charts available for studying/use. Feel free to ask any questions you have in the meantime in the comments. When this note is gone, the article is complete.
Week 4
Originally I was going to go through this week with the 2017 data, but the teams have changed so dramatically since last season that I’m going to start relying on the 2018 data for this article.
Information Overload
How much information is too much information? Those familiar with my Information Overload article from the 2017 NFL Playoffs know that I believe there’s never enough. Over the course of the 2018 season, I’m going to present a boatload of data and projections (along with analysis) to help guide you through this weekend’s massive GPPs.
Here’s a quick summary of everything that is included in this article. You can click on the images to view them in more detail if you have problems viewing them. If you have ideas for things you’d like to see in future articles, be sure to leave them in the comments.
