Fantasy football makes me cry.
I am doomed to finish in 2nd place in every fantasy football league I enter despite my best efforts. My ninja-like data skills, the incessant processing of injury reports, the constant studying of offensive plays: it's all for naught.
Fantasy football is subject to randomness such that your best laid schemes gang aft agley. As a manager, you can't control what happens in an individual game. Injuries, changes in game flow, and goal-line vultures are just a few examples of that gut-wrenching, hair-tearing, teeth-gnashing entropy we constantly suffer. But there is a way to mitigate the randomness. You can succeed over the course of a season, and you can win the war if not every battle, with the help of one giant super tool: data.
I am happy again.
I hope this blog helps with your agonizing decisions. Not everything the data suggest will be necessarily correct or the right move, but we can use the numbers to help guide us and hopefully render sound judgment. I imagine my posts will be mostly relevant to issues I face during the season, but I am willing to help answer questions you, the reader, might have. All commentary is welcome as I'm eager to discuss my findings.
Good luck this season and try not to bawl too much.
