Real Reasons For Sundays Fantasy Analytics Deep Dive

Here are stats. I hope they are organized hopefully in an easy way for you guys to reach and understand. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out, call me out, or let me know.

All of these stats are based solely on the regular season. Nothing postseason is included.

Also, there is a margin for error here. I am plugging a lot of this stuff in manually (man I wish I knew how to code information from ESPN directly) so sometimes I miss type numbers. I have some sort of OCD with this stuff but not enough to check every single number, every single time I type it in. So, bear with me.

Bove also did some calculations on his own. Per his own words: “Broke down what would happen if we added the “bonus win” if you were in the top half of scoring.”

RECORD BASED ON MEDIAN SCORE PER WEEK

This is what teams’ record would be based solely on if you have a top-half scoring output of the week, and if you have a bottom-half scoring output of the week.

	TEAM	RANK BASED ON MEDIAN SCORE PER WEEK	DIFFERENCE IN RECORD
1.	Eric Sieracki	11-3	8-6 (Third Place)
2.	Tim Bove	9-5	12-2 (First Place)
3.	Greg Brick	9-5	8-6 (Fourth Place)
4.	Gabe Lizarazo	8-6	10-4 (Second Place)
5.	Timmy Drakeley	7-7	7-7 (Seventh Place)
6.	Andrew Huntley	7-7	5-9 (Ninth Place)
7.	Matthew Vaghi	7-7	8-6 (Fifth Place)
8.	Jonathan Stanko	7-7	8-6 (Sixth Place)
9.	Jack List	6-8	3-11 (Twelfth Place)
10.	Justin Michaud	5-9	6-8 (Eighth Place)
11.	Billy Drakeley	3-11	5-9 (Tenth Place)
12.	Michael Kenney	3-11	4-10 (Eleventh Place)

Eric would be the top dog if the season was addressed this way. Timmy and Andrew would be playoff teams if this is how the standings were handled. There is still a log jam in the middle and points scored being the tiebreaker means that Vaghi and I would be left out. Jack and Huntley would get a big boost, the biggest of anyone, each jumping up three spots.

RECORD BASED ON AVERAGE SCORE PER WEEK

This is what teams’ records would look like based on if you have a score above or below the average score of the week. These records will NOT have an equal number of wins and losses, so do not be alarmed when you notice that.

	TEAM	RECORD BASED ON AVERAGE SCORE PER WEEK	DIFFERENCE IN RECORD
1.	Eric Sieracki	11-3	8-6 (Third Place)
2.	Tim Bove	10-4	12-2 (First Place)
3.	Andrew Huntley	10-4	5-9 (Ninth Place)
4.	Greg Brick	9-5	8-6 (Fourth Place)
5.	Gabe Lizarazo	8-6	10-4 (Second Place)
6.	Matthew Vaghi	8-6	8-6 (Fifth Place)
7.	Timmy Drakeley	7-7	7-7 (Seventh Place)
8.	Jonathan Stanko	7-7	8-6 (Sixth Place)
9.	Justin Michaud	5-9	6-8 (Eighth Place)
10.	Jack List	5-9	3-11 (Twelfth Place)
11.	Michael Kenney	5-9	4-10 (Eleventh Place)
12.	Billy Drakeley	4-10	5-9 (Tenth Place)

Gabe Lizarazo would suffer some harm drooping from second place to fifth place. It is Huntley who would love to have the standings play out based off average because he’d jump up from ninth to third place. The bottom three would stay the same, and its Huntley and Gabe who jumble around the most.

RECORD WITH BONUS WINS

Per Bove’s calculations, this is what the records would be for the teams if you combined the traditional record with the median-based record.

	TEAM	TRADITIONAL RECORD	MEDIAN BASED RECORD	COMBINED RECORD (Sorted By)
1.	Tim Bove	12-2	9-5	21-7
2.	Eric Sieracki	8-6	11-3	19-9
3.	Gabe Lizarazo	10-4	8-6	18-10
4.	Greg Brick	8-6	9-5	17-11
5.	Matthew Vaghi	8-6	8-6	16-12
6.	Jonathan Stanko	8-6	7-7	15-13
7.	Timmy Drakeley	7-7	7-7	14-14
8.	Andrew Huntley	5-9	8-6	13-15
9.	Justin Michaud	6-8	5-9	11-17
10.	Jack List	3-11	6-8	9-19
11.	Billy Drakeley	5-9	3-11	8-20
12.	Michael Kenney	4-10	3-11	7-21

It is crazy how there would be no ties if these combined records were a thing. No need for tiebreakers. No need for any of that. Just go straight down the line. Eric and Gabe would flip spots in the playoff picture. Eric would get the bye. Jack would move up a couple slots. Just an interesting thought experiment that actually did spread the log jam out.

POINTS SCORED

	TEAM	POINTS SCORED (Sorted By)	AVERAGE PER WEEK	AVERAGE WEEKLY RANKING
1.	Tim Bove	1762.72	125.91	4.71
2.	Gabe Lizarazo	1759.34	122.65	4.93
3.	Eric Sieracki	1716.16	122.58	5.07
4.	Greg Brick	1706.88	121.93	5.43
5.	Timmy Drakeley	1675.54	117.80	6.00
6.	Andrew Huntley	1657.66	118.40	6.00
7.	Matthew Vaghi	1632.66	116.62	5.93
8.	Jonathan Stanko	1554.5	111.04	7.43
9.	Justin Michaud	1498.84	107.06	8.00
10.	Billy Drakeley	1471.92	105.14	8.14
11.	Jack List	1464.58	105.33	7.86
12.	Michael Kenney	1456.84	104.10	8.21

3.38, that is all that separated Tim and Gabe as the top scorers in the league. Thankfully nothing from a tiebreaker from my perspective because I would be a dead man. Huntley scored the sixth most points and averaged ranking sixth every week. Vaghi’s average weekly rank is better than Drakeley and Huntley, and that would maybe be a hint as to how he is in the postseason and the other two are not.

POINTS AGAINST

	TEAM	POINTS AGAINST (Sorted By)	AVERAGE PER WEEK
1.	Tim Bove	1505.68	107.55
2.	Gabe Lizarazo	1533.06	109.50
3.	Billy Drakeley	1537.06	109.79
4.	Jonathan Stanko	1577.94	112.71
5.	Matthew Vaghi	1584.86	113.20
6.	Eric Sieracki	1588.18	113.44
7.	Michael Kenney	1593.72	113.84
8.	Justin Michaud	1651.10	117.96
9.	Timmy Drakeley	1679.16	119.94
10.	Greg Brick	1690.56	120.75
11.	Jack List	1695.72	121.12
12.	Andrew Huntley	1720.60	122.90

The two top scoring teams in the league also have the fewest points against. Helps with the recipe for success. Billy and I, both with not great teams also got a ton of luck. Andrew, Jack and Greg all had over 120 points against them per week. Over the course of the season there were only three weeks were the league averaged over 120 points per week. Brick, List and Huntley got that every week.

FULL TEAM POINTS SCORED

	TEAM	AVERAGE PER WEEK (Sorted By)	AVERAGE WEEKLY RANKING
1.	Tim Bove	188.88	3.86
2.	Greg Brick	174.79	5.36
3.	Gabe Lizarazo	171.12	5.71
4.	Eric Sieracki	167.99	5.50
5.	Andrew Huntley	165.29	5.64
6.	Matthew Vaghi	162.22	6.29
7.	Justin Michaud	157.24	7.36
8.	Jack List	157.00	7.36
9.	Billy Drakeley	155.93	7.14
10.	Michael Kenney	150.35	7.50
11.	Jonathan Stanko	148.75	8.21
12.	Timmy Drakeley	140.86	7.93

Bove runs away with this one. In terms of a full roster, he has the best team by far. His point total and rank are well above Brick who sits in second within this category, respectively. I had the worst team as a roster in terms of ranking, but still averaged more than Timmy. I just had some abhorrent weeks that sunk everything.

QUARTERBACK POINTS SCORED

	TEAM	AVERAGE PER WEEK (Sorted By)	AVERAGE WEEKLY RANKING
1.	Eric Sieracki	22.65	4.71
2.	Andrew Huntley	22.55	4.57
3.	Greg Brick	20.61	6.39
4.	Tim Bove	20.06	5.36
5.	Matthew Vaghi	18.55	6.57
6.	Justin Michaud	18.43	6.29
7.	Jonathan Stanko	18.12	6.64
8.	Gabe Lizarazo	17.23	7.43
9.	Jack List	17.12	7.00
10.	Billy Drakeley	16.62	7.29
11.	Timmy Drakeley	14.84	7.71
12.	Michael Kenney	14.36	8.21

The haves, and the have nots. Eric and Andrew skipped a grade and passed the tests. Greg, how the hell did you average the third most points but rank 6.39 on average each week? Michael Kenney has the lowest rank and lowest points. Gabe and I are both outside the top six in terms of quarterback scoring.

RUNNING BACK POINTS SCORED

	TEAM	AVERAGE PER WEEK (Sorted By)	AVERAGE WEEKLY RANKING
1.	Gabe Lizarazo	41.53	4.50
2.	Michael Kenney	39.04	5.36
3.	Timmy Drakeley	36.79	4.79
4.	Tim Bove	36.25	5.21
5.	Greg Brick	35.78	5.14
6.	Justin Michaud	31.18	6.93
7.	Matthew Vaghi	29.33	6.36
8.	Andrew Huntley	29.01	7.00
9.	Eric Sieracki	27.74	7.00
10.	Jonathan Stanko	27.01	7.57
11.	Jack List	22.01	9.07
12.	Billy Drakeley	21.26	9.29

Despite a not great season, Michael Kenney still ranked well in the running back category. He scored the second most points per week, but his average rank is actually fifth best. But of an anomaly though. Billy and Jack struggled in this category. The no RB strategy or the top RB strategy doesn’t really apply. Three of the playoff teams are in the top six, but Eric and I are in the bottom four.

WIDE RECEIVER POINTS SCORED

	TEAM	AVERAGE PER WEEK (Sorted By)	AVERAGE WEEKLY RANKING
1.	Billy Drakeley	43.30	5.64
2.	Matthew Vaghi	41.95	5.36
3.	Timmy Drakeley	41.94	5.43
4.	Andrew Huntley	41.49	5.79
5.	Jack List	40.54	6.07
6.	Jonathan Stanko	39.93	6.21
7.	Eric Sieracki	38.21	6.71
8.	Greg Brick	37.99	6.50
9.	Tim Bove	37.24	6.57
10.	Gabe Lizarazo	35.44	7.93
11.	Justin Michaud	34.58	7.50
12.	Michael Kenney	31.37	8.07

For a team that wasn’t great overall, Billy really raked it in with regards to wide receivers. Interesting that three of the top four in the rankings are not in the playoffs. Actually, four of the top five. Gabe, who is nearly the highest scorer of the league, is tenth in average points from wide receivers and second to last in terms of average weekly ranking.

TIGHT END POINTS SCORED

	TEAM	AVERAGE PER WEEK (Sorted By)	AVERAGE WEEKLY RANKING
1.	Eric Sieracki	16.55	3.64
2.	Greg Brick	16.02	4.79
3.	Tim Bove	15.84	5.29
4.	Gabe Lizarazo	14.06	4.79
5.	Jonathan Stanko	11.26	6.07
6.	Jack List	10.79	5.50
7.	Timmy Drakeley	9.41	7.14
8.	Justin Michaud	8.69	7.50
9.	Matthew Vaghi	8.46	7.57
10.	Billy Drakeley	7.22	8.29
11.	Michael Kenney	6.54	8.79
12.	Andrew Huntley	6.36	8.36

Turns out that having Travis Kelce is good. Good strategy Eric. Gabe averaged nearly two points less than Brick, but they both averaged 4.79 placement each week.

DEFENSE/SPECIAL POINTS SCORED

	TEAM	AVERAGE PER WEEK (Sorted By)	AVERAGE WEEKLY RANKING
1.	Andrew Huntley	11.36	5.29
2.	Matthew Vaghi	10.36	4.79
3.	Timmy Drakeley	10.00	6.00
4.	Billy Drakeley	9.57	5.14
5.	Gabe Lizarazo	8.93	5.79
6.	Justin Michaud	8.50	5.57
7.	Eric Sieracki	8.43	6.07
8.	Tim Bove	7.36	6.43
9.	Jonathan Stanko	7.29	6.86
10.	Jack List	6.64	6.93
11.	Michael Kenney	5.21	7.79
12.	Greg Brick	5.00	7.79

I will always find it crazy when there is a tie like we have at the bottom of the rankings here. Drakeley averaged the third most points per game but ranks sixth in terms of average ranking….with a 6.00 average rank. Vaghi was the top-dop in terms of best weekly ranking because of Huntley’s Dallas defense vulnerability.

KICKER POINTS SCORED

	TEAM	AVERAGE PER WEEK (Sorted By)	AVERAGE WEEKLY RANKING
1.	Eric Sieracki	9.07	4.79
2.	Tim Bove	8.93	4.79
3.	Gabe Lizarazo	8.71	5.00
4.	Andrew Huntley	7.71	6.00
5.	Billy Drakeley	7.57	5.86
6.	Jack List	7.50	6.29
7.	Greg Brick	7.00	6.64
8.	Matthew Vaghi	6.93	6.64
9.	Michael Kenney	6.93	6.50
10.	Timmy Drakeley	6.50	6.93
11.	Jonathan Stanko	6.43	6.29
12.	Justin Michaud	5.57	7.93

Eric and Tim are the top two scorers and they each tied for the best average weekly ranking. Michaud, the kicker position was brutal for you. The only team whose average rank was higher than seven. The only team that average ranked than less six points per game.
