Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this fantasy football thing, trying to figure out how to rate players. It’s a bit of a headache, but I think I’ve got something going.
First off, I grabbed a bunch of data. You know, stats from last season, player positions, all that jazz. I dumped it all into a spreadsheet because, well, that’s where I put everything important.
Then came the fun part – deciding what stats actually matter. I mean, touchdowns are obviously good, but what about yards per carry? Or completion percentage for quarterbacks? I spent a good chunk of time just staring at the numbers, trying to make sense of it all. I argued with myself more than a few times, believe me.
Making a Plan
After a lot of back and forth, I came up with a rough plan. I decided to give each stat a weight, like, touchdowns are worth more than yards, and fumbles are obviously bad. It’s not perfect, but it’s a start.
Then I started crunching the numbers. It was a lot of adding, multiplying, and dividing. My spreadsheet got pretty messy, I’m not gonna lie. I might have accidentally deleted a row or two, but hey, that’s what the undo button is for, right?
- Calculated weighted scores for each player.
- Compared those scores to see who came out on top.
- Realized some of the ratings looked a bit off.
So, I went back and tweaked the weights a bit. Moved some numbers around, you know, the usual. It took a while, but I finally got to a point where the ratings started to make sense.
Now, I’m not saying these ratings are gonna win you your fantasy league. There’s always some luck involved, and injuries can mess everything up. But it’s a good starting point, and it’s definitely better than just picking names out of a hat.
I shared my ratings with a few buddies, and they seemed to like them. Of course, they also told me I’m crazy for spending so much time on this. Maybe they’re right, but hey, it’s a fun kind of crazy, right?
So that’s my story. I dove into the world of fantasy football ratings, and I think I came out with something pretty decent. It wasn’t easy, but it was definitely an experience. I learned a lot and I had some fun, and I’m looking forward to seeing how these ratings play out this season. If you are into fantasy football, try doing it yourself and see what you can come up with!
