“Dented Can” Dynasty Prospects, the Marty Schottenheimer Rant, and the Nerds’ Overvaluation of Things They Can Track


Footballguys staff writer Adam Harstad joins RSP Film and Data as Matt Waldman’s cohost for the 2022 football season to discuss practices that will make you a better fantasy GM and NFL fan.

 

There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry. There are few that I hold in as high a regard as Adam. He’s a forthright human being with a tremendous intellect whose approach to analysis in this space differs from most.

He’s also an excellent fantasy GM in re-draft and dynasty formats. Unlike Dwain McFarland, whose work delves into the statistical process, Adam spends a lot of time examining results and dealing with broad themes of decision-making that help us become better fantasy players and fantasy analysts.

This week’s topics:

  • The Marty Schottenheimer Rant:
    • Why he should be a Hall of Famer.
    • A decent guideline for determining worthwhile football stats.
    • The nerds’ slow evolution toward valuing indirect data.
    • The irony of task-oriented thinkers in analytics judging strategic thinking.
    • Areas where Schottenheimer was a task-oriented and strategic thinker.
  • Dented Cans in Dynasty formats:
    • How to identify these players.
    • Why value is often gained even before they see the field in an attempt to rebound from their value trough?
    • Recent examples of dented cans that regained or added value.
    • Current dented cans to leverage.

Of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2022 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95. 

Matt’s new RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package is available for $24.95

If you’re a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2020 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that’s included at no additional charge.

Best yet, proceeds from sales are set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat the sexual abuse of children.
