Last week, I provided a table with Football Scientist K.C. Joyner's match-ups and grades for my WRs in one of my fantasy football leagues in order to get an idea of who to start at my Flex position. As something I intend to do each week, I figured it would be wise to revisit the prior weeks' information to determine if the "advice" was correct.
WR | Team | Adv | Rec | Yds | TD | Right? | |
Torry Holt | STL | 0.2 | 7 | 83 | 1 | Yes | |
Andre Johnson | HOU | 2.15 | 7 | 142 | 1 | YES | |
Brandon Jones | TEN | -1.5 | 1 | 6 | 0 | Yes | |
DJ Hackett | SEA | 1.7 | 1 | 7 | 0 | Inj | |
Eddie Kennison | KC | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Inj | |
Jerry Porter | OAK | -0.35 | 2 | 26 | 0 | Yes | |
Muhsin Muhammad | CHI | 0 | 1 | 8 | 0 | No |
Based on this, the grades worked as expected. However, I suspect the DJ Hackett injury late in the second quarter saved KC from being wrong. For my purposes, I am testing the hypothesis that the match-ups look most reliable when the Advantage is greater than one. (Remember each WR/DB only gets a grade of 1 to four. The best match-up would be a +/-3 as a result.)
I will get my Week Two match-ups done late tonight/tomorrow and see what results.
