Join the Footballguys Daily Update
Start your morning with our roundup of the most important stories in football - with the fantasy insight you need to make league-winning decisions. Delivered straight to your inbox, 100% free.
Each week, we will provide three items for each NFL team:
- Each team's average fantasy points scored thus far in the season. Note that this early in the season, these numbers are based largely upon Footballguys.com projections for the 2013 season.
- Each team's opponent's fantasy points allowed (compared to their opponent's average fantasy points scored) thus far in the season. If this value is positive, that team allows more fantasy points at that position. If this value is negative, that team allows fewer fantasy points at that position. Note that this early in the season, these numbers are based largely upon Footballguys.com projections for the 2013 season.
- Each team's modified fantasy points production for the week (found by comparing FP Scored with the FP Allowed). In short, if a team is playing a good defense, they'll likely score less at that position (and vice versa). Note that this early in the season, these numbers are based largely upon Footballguys.com projections for the 2013 season.
