Alright, so I decided to dive deep into the 2023 Fantasy Football stats, specifically looking at points per game. It’s always a fun little project to get my head around who’s really delivering week after week.
Getting Started
First thing I did was fire up my trusty spreadsheet program. Gotta have somewhere to dump all the data, right? Then I started hunting for reliable sources.
I started to pull in player data. I made sure to grab all the usual suspects – you know, the quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends that everyone’s talking about.
Crunching the Numbers
This is where the fun (or maybe the headache) begins. I basically took each player’s total fantasy points and divided that by the number of games they played. Simple enough, but it takes a while when you’re dealing with a ton of players.
- Total Fantasy Points: Pretty self-explanatory.
- Games Played: Also pretty straightforward. Gotta account for injuries and bye weeks, though.
Once I had the points per game (PPG) for each player, I started sorting them. I wanted to see who was at the top, who was in the middle, and who was, well, not doing so hot.
Observations and Tweaks
After looking at the initial results, I started noticing a few things. Some players had crazy high PPG because they had one or two monster games, but then were inconsistent. Others were steady performers, maybe not putting up huge numbers each week, but consistently delivering decent points.
I played around with filtering by position, too. It’s helpful to see how quarterbacks stack up against each other, and the same for running backs, receivers, and tight ends. It helps me get a better sense of positional value.
Final Thoughts
Ultimately, doing this little exercise helped me get a clearer picture of player performance in the 2023 season. It’s not just about total points; it’s about consistency and how often a player delivers for your fantasy team. Plus, it is also good to see who perform well per game.
