Summary:

 

So that’s that. What I’ve learned is to not put too much stock in Yahoo’s projections when setting my lineup, as they’ve been off by > 50%, either higher or lower, at least 42% of the time for every position except QB. Additionally, the projections have been too high 55% of the time for TE, 59% for WR, and 62% for RB.
 

For those wondering if the projections have gotten better as the season has gone along: during weeks 1-2, they were within 25% of the actual totals at a 30% rate, while from weeks 3-5 they were within 25% only 28% of the time.

 


¡Hasta la vista, pelota!
