I've certainly been an evangelist of Underdog, but I wouldn't really say the transparency is top-tier. I doubt there are major issues, but verifying that is difficult for several reasons. Even the advancing Gauntlet data posted last week is unusable. Neither dataset is complete.

I ran some pretty rough numbers on the impact of week 16 vs week 17. If you're able to move your win rate by the same factor, I lean toward week 16 being more important. The most important and uncertain part to me is how much can we reliably influence each of these figures

I'm only going to touch on ADP value mattering here because I've written about it before. Largely, you do not have to predict the future. There is a relationship between real-time adp value and CLV. The correlation is ~0.64, not perfect but rather strong.

How much does average draft position (ADP) value impact playoff expectations? (ADP Value = Player pick - adp at the time the team was drafted) After charting all 480K teams, we find that there is no advantage of ADP value The best teams are those centered around 0 adp value

People seem relatively unsure, but optimistic the breakeven rate increases with the new structure. From my math, it definitely does! My calcs look at maxing the tournament. The median outcome decreases from ~1475 to ~1050, but the odds of coming out in the black rises

People who plan to max BBM, how do you think your odds of breaking even changed with the new payout structure? To be clear, if your breakeven chances were 20% previously, a 3% increase would make them 23%

Stacking is paramount to having a chance and so is differentiation. This shows how frequently players are stacked with their quarterback when the QB is drafted. I'd much rather have Rice with Mahomes, especially given Kelce is stacked much more frequently.

@ChessLiam I always think this is quite flawed thinking because it’s one player out of 18. Having a different 12th round pick doesn’t sound preferable. Mostert has been the best pick where he went and allows you to “drag” under performing players in that could do well, like Christian Watson

Dove deep into how the NFL schedule plays a part in constructing playoff teams. Some of my conclusions may be a bit different than you'd expect 👀 Come thinking I'll focus on game stacks. Stay for the essay on bye weeks

Best Ball: Leveraging the Schedule

When a couple of points can make a major difference in the outcome, grinding the extreme edges can provide meaningful benefits. At first glance, the NFL schedule looks like another pointless NFL...

If we alter our view from the top of the queue to the top of the positional queue, we see a stronger more consistent trend emerge. The value of taking from the top of the position queue outweighs the auto-drafting and poor structure in the previous chart.

@Sherman_FFB I was concerned about you after the Odunze tout. Glad to see you’re getting back on track here

@JustinHerzig This is based on initial entries but you can get the teams advancing from the regular season by dividing n by 6. If you had 25 teams in this round, >20% of the time you get 0 teams through. This is before you account for team-level correlation

Just as every post highlighted people advancing out of the regular season above expectation, the same will be true from this round to the semi-finals. Advancing a team or a few across contests is often above expectation though. Consider BBM...

Being cognizant of ADP substantially impacts advance rate. Trying to differentiate in large field tournaments can make sense, but consistently eschewing ADP is not advisable. Going full @Dan__Zack and "not having player takes" would likely behoove most players, myself included.

Slows only seems like an odd decision given that nearly every draft will have the clock decrease to four hours. Be aware of that when you're entering. Clock changes next Thursday

Being able to enter multiple at once is a neat change. Should be really helpful for mass-entering

Looking at advance rate data is very interesting in Best Ball Playoff contests - Bye teams proved difficult to advance - Hockenson did not advance much because of his stacking partners - Josh Allen's advance rate varies significantly according to by week expectation at the time

The most important thing is making sure we're able to even field a finals team. Depending on your target final, the ideal number of available final players shifts because of byes but we need to always have this front of mind. WAY less teams are viable for the finals now

FWIW, it can be frustrating, but this is probably the most entertaining format IMO. Could variance be reduced with wildcards? Sure, and I might prefer it slightly, but people will always complain about what could have been. And that's fine

Here you can see which teams are commonly stacked together. ADP pushes players into similar teams pretty frequently. Some stacks may require the room to cooperate, but taking some less common ones reduces the number of teams you're competing against
