Our spreadsheet will calculate the difference between the projected points of the best available player at each position minus the average of the next three players at that position, as well as the difference between the best player and the replacement player. This is also known as the “replacement player”. By missing out this round, you might wind up taking one of the next best (RB, WR, etc), or you might end up with the one of the leftover (RB, WR, etc) after everyone else has gotten their players at that position – for example the 10th quarterback, or the 20th running back (2RBs x 10 teams) or the 30th wide receiver. Every time you make a draft pick, you’re taking the player who you think will score the most points at that position (let’s say QB), but you also miss out on all the other best players at the other positions (RB, WR, etc), because other managers could draft them before your next pick. In standard fantasy, you are able to play 1 quarterback, 2 running backs, 3 wide receivers, 1 tight end, 1 kicker and 1 defense. Okay, now comes the hard part…putting in the logic: We have them in order of projected points scored, and added their position and position rank in column A: We put this data into our example spreadsheet in cells B14:C230. We took the projected Defense points from Yahoo. We are using data from FantasyPros – – they take an average of five separate sources. Luckily, there are plenty of sites that do this (likely with the help of many spreadsheets). Important caveat for fantasy football experts – this will be a very simple spreadsheet! If you have ideas for more complexity to add, post them in the comments!įirst things first, we need to know how many points each player will likely score. How many fantasy points every player is predicted to score.Spreadsheet goal: Each round, tell us who we should draft in order to maximize our team’s projected points scored. And any seasoned Fantasy Football player knows that in each of 15 rounds, they face a very complex decision in who to draft (unless you had the first pick last year and took Adrian Peterson)
