Player Projections & Fantasy Projections Week 3
Published September 26, 2010 | 
The player projections are up for week 3 for 2010.
The fantasy points projections can be found at the fantasy projections page.
On each player’s individual page, the game log includes projections for all of their stats for games that have not yet been played as exampled by Peyton Manning’s page below:
Projected stats are found in red, and fantasy points are found in green ( projected fantasy points are also green). Player pages can be found navigating through teams, or any stat page with the player on it through their link.
QB projections are looking great, and don’t need too much more data to be accurate since they are wholly based on the team’s passing projections.
RB and WR projections will increase in accuracy until week 5 when there will be enoguh season data to accurately project those positions.
Injuries are not taken into account in ANY of the projections. So if the QB that started the last game was replaced, the new QB will not have projected stats for that week. RB’s and WR’s that will carry more of a load due to another player’s injury should be adjusted accordingly.
Also, if a RB or WR has not scored a TD yet, or has not had a fumble yet, the projections for the entire season will read 0.0 for each of those stats for the time being. I’ll work further to project variables that players haven’t yet achieved soon.
I’ll have a couple posts later on going into deeper detail on how each position is projected, and the accuracy level of the predictions.
For now, only the top 70 projected players for week 3 and the top 10 for each position are shown on the fantasy projections page. I will have pages for each position and all players of that position in the next few days for week 4. In the meantime, all players (even defensive player) have their projected stats for every week here on out on their individual pages.
Enjoy.
Week 3 Projected Game Stats
Published September 21, 2010 | Here are the links to the projected game stats for each game of week 3:
Keep in mind that things like injuries and performance lineup changes aren’t necessarily taken into account. So the Colts vs. Broncos may be more passing than projected, since Champ Bailey is out this week.
Also, the projections use the stats from the last 8 games each team has played. Since it is still early in the season, 6 games from last season for each team are used to gauge team’s performance. By week 5, projections will be determined solely by team stats from the 2010 season.
Projections for the rest of the season are also always available through each week’s schedule. For instance, the Week 4 Schedule will have links to each week 4 matchup. Future game projections are based on how the team is performing now, and how the defenses they have faced in the most recent games are playing now. Projections are updated weekly when games become final.
Projected points are not an indication of our prediction for the game.
Week 2 Game Projections
Published September 15, 2010 | I’ve finally gotten up all of the game projections for every game since 2003 (about a week late). All projections are based fully on team stats going into the game. Almost every stat from each matchup for each team are projected using Offense and Defensive matchups between the team, and adjusting each team’s data based on how good (or bad) their past opponents were over the recent past.
I’ll have a more detailed post on the projections algorithm later on.
Here are the links for the Week 2 slate:
New York Giants at Indianapolis
Projections for every game of the 2010 season are available. Future game projections are based on the teams performance leading up to the current week. So each week, future week matchup projections will change to the updated stats and projections. All Projections are linked from each week’s schedule.
Predictions for all game will start Week 4.
I’m trying to get the player fantasy projections up by this weekend, so stay tuned for that.
Get Your Popcorn Ready: NFL Is BACK
Published August 8, 2010 | 
The NFL pre-season kicked off tonight with the annual hall of fame game in canton, Ohio. The Bengals took on the Cowboys in a fairly typcial pre-season game.
The X-factor that made it interesting was Terrell Owens. His sudden departure from the Cowboys a little over a year ago made headlines and surprised no one but T.O. (he even said after the game he still thinks he should be a Cowboy).
T.O. is now catching Carson Palmer’s passes in Cincy alongside Chad OchentaCinco.
Say what you want about T.O. and his antics, but if you are one of those people who think he has lost two steps and doesn’t still ahve a top 15 WR game, you are wrongly mistaken. He put up pretty good numbers for a losing team with the most untalented batch of QB’s I’ve ever seen.
T.O. and OchoCinco will be impossible to cover, and will help Carson Palmer come back from a year that saw the Bengals be the 26th ranked passing team in the NFL. Strange enough, the Bengals had their worst passing year, and had one of Carson Palmer’s two best years.
It is just pre-season and no one really cares except head coaches and 4th string defensive backs. But the excitement is back and the NFL season is just on the horizon.
Check out the game’s Box Score.
The Knicks Just Get It
Published August 6, 2010 | 
You know how some people just “Get It”? Well the Knicks are one of those ‘people’. They are just so in tuned to whats going on and so well run, it’s no wonder they keep winning championships. They make strong hires from the get go. They are great at the draft. Always get their guy. Oh, and they play great defense with their coach.
Wait, that’s Spurs, or… The Lakers. Or really anyone but the Knicks.
Isiah Thomas is BACK!! great news for everyone named Isiah Thomas.
Isiah Thomas cost the Knicks over 200 million dollars whlie he was with the team via his contract, absurd luxury tax costs due to high payroll, and his 12 million dollar sexual harassment lawsuit that they settled on with an intern.
Playoffs were never even really an option, even though they had double the salary that anyone else did.
No question Thomas is one of the greatest players of all time, and no one can forget his sprained ankle quarter where he put up like 30 points in a quarter in the playoffs. But he will also go down as not only the worst coach, but also the worst GM in NBA history (Kahn is making a hard push for it though).
Thomas will be hired as a “consultant” which means to me that they’ll eventually give him GM-ship and then the coaching reigns once again.
Isiah was just coaching FIU (and will “stay there”) last year. They put up a solid fight in UNC”s opener last year (which made me realize off the bat how bad UNC was going to be). But he had to coach for free, no one would touch him. I guess he needed money, and the Knicks have plenty of that. I’m sure he’s had a positive impact at a non-existant college basketball program with recruiting. But come on, Knicks, are we really going down this road again?
This is definitely the #1 reason Lebron James made the right decision to not go to the Knicks…. They sent Isiah to represent their team during the recruiting push.
