Well last week didn’t go well for me, but I’m not giving up on the process. There were a few misses, but all in all things seem to be looking good. Here’s how last week’s plays ended up.
Six players hit or exceeded their Touches Needed For 3x, but only four of them had an ROI of 3x or higher. Austin Ekeler just missed his TNF 3x, but still managed to have a ROI of 4.75. There were actually 22 players who surpassed the 5x ROI mark which is the most this season. The overall rate of ROI looks like this.
This is an evolving tool so let’s see if we can get better this week. As per usual here’s what we’re looking for. The player must have more touches per game (TPG) than their touches needed for 3x value (TNF 3x Value) and their 3x ROI needs to be higher than the below table.
Here are the top players who qualify this week.
I tested a run where instead of simply needing a 3x ROI higher than the limit set in the table I qualified the player by saying their AvtPts/G(Average Points Per Game) had to be higher than 3x their Salary. For what it’s worth, it would mean Matthew Stafford replaces Josh Allen on the top 5 list of QBs. I’ll be curious to see if that affects the final results.
I’m curious if you would rather see me qualify players by AvgPts/G > 3x Salary or continue using the limits I’ve been using. Please let me know by leaving a comment or hitting me up on Twitter. I’ll try to get a poll up this weekend. As always I thank you for your time and wish you the best of luck.
