AI and Fantasy Football – Week 11

Wow. Week 11 was filled with injuries. Josh Jacobs went down early with a knee injury. Aaron Rogers went out with a wrist injury but it all started off with an epic performance by TreVeyon Henderson putting up 32.3 points. The end result of week 11? ANOTHER VICTORY FOR AI! The team is now in 1st place. With all those injuries you might be wondering how we pulled off another victory. Well, here is the final scores for the week:

Josh Allen came through massively with a 51 point game. Riley Patterson put up a few good kicks over in Madrid and George Kittle had a great game as well.

Looking forward to week 12, we will have to battle some injuries but I think the depth chart should be able to sustain the blows. Here is the current proposed lineup:

So, tech and data stuff. I added deviations into the data set. So now we can see the difference between what a player’s projection was and their actual. This will help the AI determine how a player is preforming. This is being structured on a per season per week basis as well as historically against an opponent. Next year this data will be valuable when looking at future matchups and draft choices.

Next, I’m also working on launching an API for this entire project so that you can access the data and utilize it for your own applications. I hope to have a working beta of this by the end of the week! If you are interested in utilizing it feel free to message me. I’m sure a few of you can receive some free keys once its ready! I’ll have a separate post about the API once its ready.
