Return of Analytics!

Everyone's favorite... numbers! I decided to compile Tim's Power Rankings over the course of the season to take a look at how our teams have fared. I understand that I'm making a huge assumption that Tim has sound judgement (I'm showing him faith, despite his lack of faith in my integrity as former commissioner). Below is a table of each team's ranking through 13 weeks of action. I used real names since team names have changed:

What does the data tell us?? Well let's take a look a few stats...

We've all known that Linovo and Choubacca have been running this league - no surprise there. 

• It's interesting to see that David Lin made the 3rd highest jump from the 1st half to the 2nd half of the season with a 2.1 position jump. 
• Along the same lines, thanks to Tim's extremely gracious ranking in Week 11, he's seen a 2.3 position jump in the 2nd half of the season. 
• Because i don't feel like resaving the image, I'll give David Li a verbal shoutout here. He had the best 2nd half spurt jumping 2.4 positions. 
• On a sadder note, Justina's team has been the most sporadic, with a whopping 2.6 standard deviation in rank. She also has the worst season split at -4.1. 

Let's look at this a different way...

"The Elite"

David and Aaron's teams got little love early, but have become strong contenders. Luke's team has obviously risen like Christian Bale did and leads the league in weeks at #1 (6 weeks).

"Playoff Contenders"

So it's clear that Gabs' team looked dominant to start, but has fallen to mediocrity. Perhaps he should actively manage his fantasy team. 

Furthermore, Laura's team has been pretty consistently middle of the pack while Eric and David Li came from the cellars to be legit playoff contenders. 

"Male Angler Fishes"

My how the might have fallen. Jeff and Justina were both league favorites to start but have since fallen behind in the league. Jeff's WR woes added to Aaron Rodgers' inconsistency plague him, and Justina's 1st round pick was a bust (Cam). At least Tim has been consistent through the whole season! 

Interesting stat: Tim and Laura lead the league in consistency, both coming in at 1.1 standard deviations!

*Side note: Why name them male angler fishes? They are pretty small and pathetic. Click here to learn more!
