Welcome into the RotoViz Fantasy Football podcast. I'm Dave Kaben, one of the owners at RotoViz. In this episode, we are going to be talking about positional rank finishes on a point per game basis versus positional ADP from FFPC leagues heading into the 2022 season.

As you have probably gathered from the poor audio quality, I am traveling this week

and without the nice setup I have at home.

So we're going to have some poor audio quality.

We are not going to have any sound drops, but we will get through this.

I'm recording this on May 10th.

Curtis and I will be getting together tomorrow night, May 11th with an episode to come out on Friday.

So, as I mentioned, we're going to be looking back some at 2022 this year.

And the reason that I think this is useful is as we start getting into our

best ball and redraft league contexts this year, thinking about how ADP performed last year,

thinking about some of the players it missed on, any reason it might

have missed on those players, and just kind of re-baselining ourselves to some extent with how

ADP is able to do at predicting where a player will finish in the confines of their position.

We have looked at this before on the site.

ADP is fairly efficient in comparison to some other ways, perhaps, that you could go about

segmenting or sorting, filtering players as you head into the season.

So the way that I pull together the data that we're looking at here, very simple.

Just grab 2022 FFPC one quarterback league ADP and then for each player calculated their PPR points per game

that they scored in 2022.

Now the first thing that I did was calculate the R squared, which is a measure of correlation

between players' positional ADP heading into 2022 and where they finished from a PPR point

per game perspective.
