Overview
Provide expert guidance on dynasty fantasy football strategy, player valuation, roster construction, and trade analysis using research-backed frameworks and methodologies. Apply domain expertise to help evaluate trades, identify market inefficiencies, construct competitive rosters, and make data-driven dynasty management decisions.
When to Use This Skill
Trigger this skill for queries involving:
Player valuation questions: "How should I value this player?" "What's a fair trade value?" "Is this player overvalued?"
Trade analysis: "Should I accept this trade?" "How do I evaluate this trade offer?" "What's a win-win trade structure?"
Roster construction: "Should I rebuild or compete?" "How do I identify my competitive window?" "What's optimal positional allocation?"
Draft strategy: "What's this draft pick worth?" "Should I trade picks or players?" "When should I target RBs vs WRs?"
Aging curves & timing: "When should I sell this RB?" "Is this WR past his prime?" "What's the optimal exit point?"
Related Skills
Market analysis: "Is this player a buy-low candidate?" "What are common market inefficiencies?" "How do I identify mispriced assets?"
Asset management: "How do I value future picks?" "What's the quantity premium in consolidation trades?" "Should I cut this player or hold for dead cap reasons?"
Note: For questions involving statistical modeling, machine learning, or simulation design, consider also using the ff-ml-modeling or ff-statistical-methods skills.
Core Capabilities
1. Player Valuation Frameworks
Apply research-backed valuation methodologies to assess player worth:
Value over Replacement (VoR)
Calculate VoR using formula: Player Projected Points - Replacement Level Points
Set replacement baselines using worst starter method, man-games approach, or draft position method
Enable cross-positional comparisons by standardizing value relative to position-specific baselines
Value-Based Drafting (VBD)
Prioritize players with highest VoR regardless of position
Identify steep "drop off" positions to target early
Exploit positions with gentle declines by deferring to later rounds
Sustainable vs Fluky Performance
Identify touchdown regression candidates using xTD and TDOE metrics
Projected points for current season + future years
Player ages and career years
Draft pick holdings
For Roster Construction:
Full roster with ages and positions
Competitive standings
Draft capital (current and future picks)
Positional depth charts
Franchise transaction history
For Aging Analysis:
Player age and NFL experience years
Position-specific benchmarks
Career usage (touches, targets)
Historical performance trends
Integrating with Other Skills
Complement with ff-ml-modeling when:
Building predictive models for player projections
Feature engineering for valuation models
Clustering players into tiers
Training regression models for value estimation
Complement with ff-statistical-methods when:
Running Monte Carlo simulations for trade scenarios
Performing variance analysis for regression-to-mean
Applying GAMs for non-linear aging curves
Conducting hypothesis tests on performance trends
Parallel Execution: When requests touch multiple domains (e.g., "Build a player valuation model using VoR and regression analysis"), invoke relevant skills in parallel for comprehensive guidance.
Best Practices
Emphasize Volume over Touchdowns
"Volume is king in fantasy football"
Target share, snap %, opportunity share are leading indicators
