Projections Overview

I've succumbed to the Projection Industrial Complex and I'm here to say why they're probably going to do more harm than good

Projections Overview
Share

Hello folks,

I hope you enjoyed today’s more theory-heavy re-post about running back usage.

The next spurt of content is going to be focused around my league-wide projections which I just completed my first draft of.

In this post I’m going to share the link to my projections sheet, and go over a little bit of my methodology, and thought on how TO use projections and how to NOT use projections when making draft decisions.

In the next set of posts I will publish an updated Best Ball Rankings which more heavily factors in the projections work I’ve done since my first set of ranks. I will also be posting my first set of Redraft Rankings with a focus on the FFPC scoring system and tournaments structures.

As well, while I won’t do a deep dive into every team projection, I will do some spotlight posts narrowing in on some particularly ambiguous situations or spots I came away feeling differently about after going through this exercise. I will likely leave the actual projections more or less alone aside from major transactions until the start of pre-season.

Let’s get into it!
