Week 9 WRs Uncertainty Projections

0
  • by Chad Wittman
  • in Projections
  • — 31 Oct, 2013

Each week, I take 7 different fantasy football projections (PPR) for WRs and take a look at the uncertainty in their projections.

What Is This?

The data below conveys the degree to which projection experts & algorithms disagree about WR’s value (PPR) for Week 9. I provided two tables, the first looks at who the experts disagree about the most, the second provides more detailed information and organizes the chart by the “Floor” projection.

How Is This Useful?

This table is best used when you’re between two players of same general skill & expected output. If you’re in need of a “safer” pick this week, go with the less +/- uncertainty. If you need a “go big or go home” type of week — go with the guy with the high +/-. You can also use this when looking over the waiver wire.

I’ve highlighted a few interesting names, feel free to comment and I can add some bolded players.
