For the final regular season edition of 'Stat Nerd Thursday' we decided to open up the Yahoo Fantasy vault and share the internal stats and date that tells the story of the 2023 fantasy football season. Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don use Yahoo Fantasy's internal stats to answer some of the biggest questions of the season:
Who were the true league winners? Who were the heroes of the waiver wire this season? Who out-kicked their preseason rankings? Who did the complete opposite and busted in 2023? Which position in the draft had the most success this year? Which draft strategy in the first two rounds was the best, which was the worst?
The two go through all the data and stats to see what lessons we can learn and take into next year:
1:40 - Who's playing QB this weekend?!
2:52 - Programming note: Two pods a week starting next week
3:10 - Final Stat Nerd Thursday: Deep dive on internal Yahoo fantasy data
