Visualized Rank Tiers (Week 14)

Boris Chen is a senior data scientist at The New York Times.

In this fantasy football model, I take aggregated expert ranking data from FantasyPros.com and pass it into a statistical clustering algorithm called a Gaussian mixture model. The algorithm finds players who are ranked similarly and discovers natural tiers within the data. The results is a series of simple charts that can help you decide your fantasy football line up each week. Matchups, injuries, strength of offense and defense are all accounted for. Read more about the model here.

You can find the charts every week at NYTimes.com, and PPR and 0.5 PPR versions at borischen.co.
