Quick Start Guide

Think like a GM. Win your league.

Every year, 31 out of 32 NFL teams have a reckoning.

In the offseason, GMs and coaches comb through everything: player performance, contracts, depth charts, scheme fit. They figure out what worked, what didn't, and who to build around next. Who gets more work? Who do we move on from? Where are we leaving production on the table? The idea of this site is to give you all those same tools, except with a spin towards fantasy production. All the metrics, all the context, organized so you can think like a GM about your draft.

How to Use It

Start with a player's XFP (expected fantasy points) compared to their FP. XFP tells you opportunity: how much work a player got. FP tells you production: what they did with it. The gap between them is where the analysis starts. From there, the micro stats like efficiency, splits, scheme tendencies, and coaching context tell you why that gap exists and whether it'll persist. If you can connect the dots properly, the league winners aren't a surprise, and neither are the busts.

Here are some starting points depending on the question you're trying to answer:

  • Breakout incoming? Start with their Player Page — compare XFP vs FP to see if opportunity or efficiency is driving production, then drill into the micro stats to understand why.
  • Want to understand a team's fantasy ecosystem? The Team Pages show how the pie is split — who gets the work, in what situations, how that's been evolving, and why it might be changing.
  • Looking for value at a position? Use Plots+ to scatter the whole position group and spot outliers the crowd is sleeping on.
  • Torn between two players? Pull them up in the Player Comp Tool and compare their splits side-by-side.
  • New coaching staff? Hit the Coach Pages to see what their scheme looks like and which positions thrive under them.
  • Wondering how a usage shift plays out? Open the What If? Tool and move team and player levers (pass rate, target share, snaps, RZ work) to project the resulting XFP/G and FP/G.
  • How did a team change year-over-year? Use Team YOY Analysis to compare two team-seasons side-by-side with delta and percentile shift.

Feeling Lost? That's Normal.

There's a lot here. You don't need to understand every metric — start with the questions you already have and dig from there. Every table includes tooltips ? explaining each metric, and video walkthroughs are embedded throughout the site to help you get oriented. Some metrics capture skill. Others capture context. How you connect the dots is up to you.
