Have a great day.
What's up, friendos, and welcome into Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast. Today on the show, we are talking about projections.
What should we expect from Jackson Dart this fantasy season?
Who do projections love? Well, we're going to be doing that. We've got Pat Fitzmaurice and The Athletic's own Jake Seeley, as they might not love all of these players. necessarily, but the projections sure do. So we're going to have a discussion about some standout projected players, who these guys are excited about. We've got six names for you, and I'm excited to dig into it. I'm Chris Welsh. Thank you guys so much for hanging out with us.
What are the projections for Jameson Williams and his potential impact?
We have the hate episode. Now it's time for a little bit of love. And when I think about love, I always think about Jake Seeley, the loving demeanor, the big smile, the happy everything. Jake, you're what comes to mind when I think about love in projections. I asked you in the last episode, as somebody that has been doing projections forever, one of the mainstays in the industry for it, what was kind of a negative or a fault since we were talking about hate?
How does Rashee Rice's projection compare to his ECR?
So what is something that projections in your mind has really nailed or gotten right? It could be something very simplistic. It's statistically put you in the right direction, you name it. What's something that you have really loved about making projections?
What are the final thoughts on the players highlighted in this episode?
Helps take the bias out of it. And, you know, you go through and you have whatever formula it takes to come up with your projections. And even with the customizable projections, there's a baseline of per play opportunities and performance that we expect from all these players. And I'm not saying they're going to make 100% right. They're not. But it kind of helps you take that bias out. And I reference it and it's going to sound like I'm like victory lap in here, but it's not because... You know, there was years ago in 2019, I did my projections and it'll always stick in my mind because it's such a good example. Lamar Jackson spat out as the number two quarterback and that was supposed to be his breakout year.
And I'm like, whoa, that's a little aggressive. Let me personally touch his projections, manipulate them myself and push them down and I'll push them down to a happy spot like QB5. Well... I was dumb because he was QB1 that year, if everybody remembers. And the projections were even a little bit low. But that's the point is like the bias wasn't there. The bias came in from me and saying like, man, that feels kind of aggressive to project that. So while you can go in and customize my rankings, remember like that's your bias. This is supposed to give you the baseline and kind of take all that out of the picture to kind of give you like. And again, we talked about in the last show, it's trying to give you the best estimate.
Like this happens eight out of 10 times. They're still going to be wrong. But it kind of gives you that like, okay, your opinion doesn't matter. This is what it should be on like a historical projection basis. Fitzy, in the last episode, I did ask you kind of about like, you know, where you've used or do you use projections as like a baseline or whatever. But now let me make it a little bit different. Where do you think you side when you do look at projections? Are you looking and paying attention to the negative or more of the positive? Because I definitely think that is a common trend for people is they will use. Obviously, you could use projections as I think reference point is like the greatest use case of it.
But there will be people that are more prone to.
