How Our Fantasy Football Rankings Work

Dimers built our NFL fantasy rankings to give you easy-to-use insights for sports betting, DFS, and fantasy football. We don’t rely on generic, aggregated data. Our team of data scientists and sports experts collect our own metrics then build our models in-house.

Our NFL fantasy model is actually a family of specialized models, each one with a laser-focused purpose: projecting results for a single stat column. Each individual model combines predictions from other underlying models to produce their single output. 

The volume of NFL data is continually expanding, so we are constantly innovating our methods for projections to unlock more predictive power out of traditional statistics. 

Thousands of Data Inputs Collected

• Player performance metrics: We collect detailed player stats from every NFL game to power our NFL fantasy rankings, including PPR and half-PPR scoring.

• Key position variables: Thousands of data points for rushing yards, completions, passing yards, receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns inform our rankings

• Advanced game insights: We integrate player usage and historical trends with play-by-play analytics for deeper fantasy football rankings.

Position & Matchup Analysis
