Nevermind.<br /><br />Although it would be interesting to calculate the correlation for the 18 or so typically drafted fantasy QBs. It doesn't really matter if you miss big on the guys no one drafts and no one picks up.Andynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-12815906757959256562010-08-20T11:11:44.874-04:002010-08-20T11:11:44.874-04:00Brian,

You're throwing away information by focusing on ranks, especially since the distribution is skewed. That is, identifying someone as 20th who is actually 30th doesn't really matter because the talent level is typically very flat between 20 to 30. So messing up that ranking is not that big a deal, at least compared to messing up the rankings of the top 10 QBs.<br /><br />2. A related point: the key to good fantasy drafting is value above replacement, not just having the right ranking. To truly compare the usefulness of systems in drafting, you need to know how the systems vary in what we actually care about, ie, VORP.Andynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-14716448411231393562010-08-19T22:25:53.201-04:002010-08-19T22:25:53.201-04:00Brian,

I almost expected Koko to come through, sort of like Easterbrook's generic "team with better record wins" system.<br /><br />I don't suppose you have tons of free time to find the raw point correlations for yahoo WRs and TEs, as well as for the other major fantasy sites? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
