Well it's week 4 of fantasy football, let's see how my draft looks today.

[Zombye Week @ZombyeWeek]

@AdamKoffler Why are we yelling Mac Hollins?

[Zombye Week @ZombyeWeek]

@realjluque @TheFFBallers Such a good idea. If it's a known problem they should know to fix it.

[Zombye Week @ZombyeWeek]

@PapaJoshFFB Not such a bad limbo phase before health stuff really starts cropping up with friends and funnily l family.

How much did Week 1 actually tell you in fantasy football?

I pulled every season since 2011 and took the end-of-season top-24 QB/TE and top-48 RB/WR. Then I asked how well a player's PPG through any given week lines up with his season-long PPG.

Week 1 alone (R^2): 0.17 at QB, 0.24 at RB, 0.14 at WR, 0.19 at TE.

And those are technically generous, because season-long PPG includes Week 1. Some of that correlation is Week 1 predicting itself. Take it out (correlate Week 1 to Weeks 2 onward) and you get 0.05 at QB, 0.13 at RB, 0.04 at WR, 0.07 at TE.

Said another way, a top-48 receiver's opener explains about 4% of what he does the rest of the year.

Relax.

@LateRoundQB What's your advice for coping with a week one high pick loss? Emotions being one thing, but what's the process mode? A backup may have contingent upside and a fine temp sub for the starter, but what else do we look for? The same elsewhere to diversify long term value?

[Zombye Week @ZombyeWeek]

@FFHitman @LateRoundQB DUDE

[Zombye Week @ZombyeWeek]

@PatMcAfeeShow LOL good one

[Zombye Week @ZombyeWeek]

@1mja6 @RapSheet That a nice thing to say.

[Zombye Week @ZombyeWeek]

@FFHitman Walker Loveland Burden
Can they be on the same team?

[Zombye Week @ZombyeWeek]

@williamb3ntley @17gamepace Definitely Corum over any Karen.

[Zombye Week @ZombyeWeek]

@stokesjensen @17gamepace yeah it's speculation but do you think that all teams are equal and have equally difficult schedules?

[Zombye Week @ZombyeWeek]

@SharpFootball How do you lead in average annual salary in a single year? What is being averaged?

[Zombye Week @ZombyeWeek]

@TheFantasyPT @AndyHolloway @DrKJMurray The Spitballers! It's an advice podcast.

@JasonMoore There's an interview somewhere with Madden by GameSpot where he talked about how the game spent years trying to copy the NFL, and then it went the other way and the NFL started copying the game (watch stats view on Prime Video today - for example). He was SO proud.

[Zombye Week @ZombyeWeek]

@SleeperHQ About 18% more capacity than Arrowhead and Mile High and also in London.
