Using Snap & Target Data Analysis

When I envision fantasy football I prefer to look at the game as a pyramid. The top of the pyramid is the championship, and everything between the top and the large base is research and data oriented. The very bottom of this pyramid is the foundation for fantasy football, and for me that foundation is targets.

Targets, of course, go hand in hand with snap totals. The more snaps a player plays, the higher the probability the player will see targets. The more targets the player sees, the more opportunity arises. If said player is efficient with his opportunities he will score points. The more points the player scores the closer you move to the top of your fantasy football pyramid. Simple math, right? Quantifying snaps and targets is the basis for lineup decisions.

Over at FootballDiehards.com we will be rolling out weekly data on snap totals and targets. This is where I will be starting my lineup research each week. We will be providing our subscribers with crucial stats for each player:
