Football, the connection between the minimum value and the actual value of fantasy,

Football, however, has the least connection between fantasy value and real value on the field – when comparing fantasy points to , cheap football jerseys the R2 is a dismal 0.47, and a 0.53 if you’re in a points per reception league. This is largely due to the lack of an accurate, comprehensive statistic for player value across positions. I’ve used EPA, but this is still an approximation and is dependent on field position. Another reason is the popular use of a points system which isn’t aligned with the real value that yards bring at each position.cheap nba jerseys  Interestingly, the correlation between fantasy value and EPA varies widely by position – 0.80 for QBs, 0.79 for TEs, 0.44 for WRs and 0.03 for RBs. There is a huge disconnect for RBs because they are rewarded handsomely for gaining yards in fantasy, even though in the game these yards may not be adding much value (if they come far from the end zone, or come on 3rd down when there isn’t a conversion, etc)
