Fantasy Football Analysis: DAWGS Or FRAUDS

Week 1 has just finished, and we have a new segment called Fantasy Football Analysis: DAWGS Or FRAUDS. This weekly series aims to highlight the top 3 players of each position who outplayed their projections and disappointed you.

We will get the actual score and subtract it from the predicted score of each player. The projected score will come from Sleeper’s PPR fantasy analysis. The fantasy analysis series will post the top DAWGS and the top FRAUDS of the QBs, RBs, WRs, TEs, and D/STs positions every week. However, if a player gets injured during the game, he will not be included in the analysis. 

Here is the scoring system that will be used for the players:

Passing

1 passing yard = 0.04 pts (25 yards = 1 pt)

A passing TD = 4 pts

A 2 pt conversion = 2 pts

An interception = -1 pts

A fumble = -1 pts

1 fumble lost = -2 pts 

Rushing

1 rushing yard = 0.1 pt (10 yards = 1 pt)

A rushing TD = 6 pts

A 2 pt conversion = 2 pts

A fumble = -1 pts

1 fumble lost = -2 pts

Receiving

1 reception = 1 pt

1 receiving yard = 0.1 pt (10 yards = 1 pt)

A receiving TD = 6 pts

A 2 pt conversion = 2 pts

A fumble = -1 pts

1 fumble lost = -2 pts

Team Defense

1 defense TD = 6 pts

0 pts allowed = 10 pts

1-6 pts allowed = 7 pts

7-13 pts allowed = 4 pts

14-20 pts allowed = 1 pt

21-27 pts allowed = 0 pts

28-34 pts allowed = -1 pts

35+ pts allowed = -4 pts

1 sack = 1 pt

An interception = 2 pts

A forced fumble = 1 pt

1 fumble recovery = 2 pts

A safety = 2 pts

1 blocked kick = 2 pts

May the odds be in your favor, and good luck to your fantasy team(s) this season.
