The Dynasty landscape is ever-changing and shifting depending on rule changes in the NFL, scheme changes around the league, position groups fading out, and then resurging through youth and the NFL Draft. I noticed a fairly drastic shift in the value of running backs while working through a few Dynasty and Devy startups this off-season.

Historically, there has been a strong narrative in the football community about QB size despite players like Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray balling out on Sundays. The QB size debate begins with how tall a QB is and if it affects their ability to make reads of the defense on passing plays. There has been a lot of discussion around QB hand size and its correlation to QB performance in cold-weather games. Analysts have even studied QB weight and how it translates to their durability in the NFL. So I decided to use my newly released college prospect database and explore BMI and QB performance. Before going any further, there needs to be a brief overview of BMI. BMI compares an individual’s weight to their height and it’s used to describe their level of body fat or thickness. The index was derived from the works of the Belgian thinker, Adolphe Quetelet.

DFS or Daily Fantasy Sports is a genre of fantasy that involves building a team from a designated “salary” each week. Players range in salary depending on their popularity, matchup, points per game, etc.… but every week you are given 50,000 dollars to build your lineup. I play DraftKings, so this includes 1 QB, 2

Modeling is the most powerful and underutilized tool in how we as a population analyze and understand football. Often I see people use metrics to try and understand/predict football. They use these metrics individually to understand small segments of a grand picture. For instance, one popular metric I see used is Market Share (MS), but
