2018 Fantasy Football Stats
Info on the stats. Please see my posts or send me a message if you have questions.
Statistical Points Floor
A standard deviation below the mean, specific to each individual player. A measure of potential, don’t necessarily be spooked by a negative floor score. It likely just indicates higher potential for low to no points, not actually negative points
Statistical Points Ceiling
A standard deviation above the mean, specific to each individual player. A measure of potential, not a projection.
Games Played
A count of games in which a given player participated. To participate in a game, a player must have been on the field for 1 or more snaps. Points Per Game, Standard Deviation, and other derivative stats take into account each individual player’s game count, not the game count for the team they play on.
Fantasy Points
Self explanatory. Select your scoring type in the appropriate dropdown with the app. Data similar to ESPN scoring for each type.
Points Per Game (PPG)
Average points a player has scored season-to-date. Fantasy Points divided by Games Played.
Total Snaps
Sum of all snaps a player has seen throughout the season.
Total Targets
Sum of all targets a player has seen throughout the season.
Total Receptions
Sum of all receptions a player has seen throughout the season.
Reception Yards
Sum of all reception yards a player has accumulated throughout the season.
Rush Attempts
Sum of all rush attempts a player has seen throughout the season.
Rush Yards
Sum of all rushing yards a player has accumulated throughout the season.
Total Uses
Sum of Pass Attempts, Targets, and Rush Attempts throughout the season.
Total Yards
Sum of Pass, Receptions, and Rushing Yards throughout the season.
Total Touchdowns
Sum of Pass, Reception, and Rushing Touchdowns throughout the season.
Ownership Percent
Percent of ESPN leagues in which a player is owned (as of last update).
Standard Deviation
Average distance from the mean (PPG). On average, how far a player strays from their average number of points in one direction or the other.
Consistency
A statistical consistency measurement, this score is an inverse of the Coefficient of Variation (1 over the Cov). This stat is similar to Standard Deviation, but normalizes for different point totals.
