Calculate Fantasy Players Risk Levels using R
Calculate Fantasy Players Risk Levels using R
In prior posts, I have demonstrated how to download, calculate, and compare fantasy football projections from ESPN, CBS, NFL.com, and FantasyPros. In this post, I will demonstrate how to calculate fantasy football players risk levels. Just like when determining the optimal financial portfolio, risk is important to consider when determining the optimal fantasy football team. Each player has a projected value (our best guess as to his projected points). We can think of the players mean or central tendency of various projections as his "value." Nevertheless, the players mean projected points across various sources (e.g., ESPN, Yahoo) does not tell the whole story.
