Thread below on how I am working on approaching dynasty going forward. I have always operated with just Market values #1 and my opinions #3 (which is what most do) Now I am adding in Algorithmic trade values which are such a helpful guide/tool to use.

Refining what my dynasty process is going to look like more today. It's based on 3 different models of player value. 1. Market value 2. Algorithmic value: a prediction of where their market value is headed. 3. Intrinsic value (subjective): age adjusted opinion on player talent

Stats and analytics are awesome, but everyone is using the same datapoints. The edge now is coming up with your OWN data, whether that's through tracking your observations, synthesizing content you listen to or modeling your own decision making.

How much impact do position groupings have at the goal line? Across 2022-2025 10,299 offensive plays after filtering out FG/XP/no-play League TD rate: 29.2% Teams had highest TD rate when going with heavier packages. Having a single WR on the field, dropped the TD rate ~10 percentage points. 1/3

It looks like projections at WR influence ADP too much compared to how strongly they correlate with next year's PPG.

I love to talk sports metrics online *and* I hate that every metrics conversation devolves into folks dismissing any metric that does not support their priors. That's what they're for! To make you think!

In his 6 games with a 50%+ route share, Flournoy averaged 13.2 PPR PPG. (which would’ve ranked as a top-24 WR on the season) (Data via @koalatystats.bsky.social stat explorer)

RB is a decent bit worse (after fiddling with it a lot this was the best I could get) Just very hard to isolate RB performance with data, most of the signal is just in volume.

The coolest thing about this is I didn't do any model training at all, just did some basic feature selection and PCA'd the top few stats. So the risk of overfitting is very low. This is just a combination of a few metrics, Recs/Gm, Tgts/Gm, Tgt% and WOPR.

Have tracked my talent opinions on players with a madden rating type of score over the last couple years. Created a model using data to explain my opinion on receiver talent (It's very simple and strongly correlated)

Any landing spot where he's the clear #1 target right away might put him there for me. Think Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate were a Justin Jefferson/ Ja'Marr Chase type of tandem, but their QB was very very far from Joe Burrow.

Connor LaPlante @cplant.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Since 2001, Best Season PPG has been a stronger predictor of NFL draft capital than Last Season PPG and Career PPG for every position except RB. If you are going to look at a NFL prospect's production profile it's generally best to focus mainly on their best performing season.

We are heartbroken by the passing of Anthony Cervino, a passionate fantasy football voice and a friend to so many in the community. He brought energy and authenticity to everything he did. Our thoughts are with his wife and son during this difficult time.

A wild stat: 3 of the top 5 receivers league-wide last year in burst (the NGS stat that measures how fast WRs are in the first second of their routes) were New Orleans Saints 1. Chris Olave 2. MVS 5. Rashid Shaheed

Right now the first 3 picks of 12TM SF rookie drafts are… 2.01: RJ Harvey 2.02: Jaxson Dart 2.03: Luther Burden In my opinion these guys are all worthy of late 1sts.

My least favorite part of rookie season is comps… people want an easy identifier, a way to grasp onto the idea of a player they’ve never seen by attaching that player to a familiar trajectory. One that has already happened. So often, instead of providing context, it obscures our vision while we…

Before everyone starts hating on Mahomes’s football acumen (hate his politics, that’s totally fine), please remember that he is squarely on a path to be the greatest of all time. Here’s him vs. Tom Brady through 8 seasons.

Patrick Mahomes is better than Tom Brady in every single statistical category through 8 seasons
