NFL Season Long Fantasy Rankings
RotoGrinders Fantasy Football Projections are designed to help you build better rosters on fantasy sites like Underdog Fantasy, DraftKings, FanDuel, and any traditional scoring format season-long site.
We use data from our providers to generate baseline expectations for each week of the NFL season. We project the weeks individually to capture the specific scenario as closely as possible. We also leverage the time tested betting market expectations to set the parameters of the game environment. The foundation set with this data helps us deliver an accurate forecast at the team level.
Once the expectations are set for the team, the process pivots to the player level where we assign the projected usage rates of rushing, receiving, and scoring across all the fantasy positions. This is where we introduce information outside the world of data to help inform our projections, without being dismissive of relevant past season usage stats that may be applicable to the upcoming season. Snap counts, air yards, deep passing, pressure rates, target share, red zone usage, and situational workload splits are just some of the data points used to inform our decisions on player usage.
The resulting outputs are displayed above, with rankings based on the fantasy stats that come from the projections model. We rank for points per reception (PPR) and half-point per receptions (.5PPR).
RotoGrinders premium members will be able to access fantasy projections throughout the entire NFL preseason. They will also have access to the preseason DFS projections and the LineupHQ optimizer for all preseason games.
