Fantasy Football and AI – Week 10

Well, week 10 has completed. And, WE WON AGAIN! It was a close one that came down to Monday Night Football. I had to buy a day pass to SlingTV so that I could watch the game due to the Youtube TV and Disney dispute. But, Josh Jacobs squared off against Saquon Barkley in the most BORING of football games. At any point in time, if AJ Brown had scored a touchdown I think we would have lost the matchup. Here are the final results.

For week 11 we dropped the Panther’s defense. Honestly, im not sure why the AI recommend them. I know the Saint’s are bad, but I think the Panther’s defense is worse. Anyway, we picked up the Bear’s for week 11. Badgley and the Colts have a bye this week so anyone playing against Jonathan Taylor can breathe a sigh of relief. The AI also suggested grabbing Riley Patterson and Zach Ertz. Here is our current lineup for week 11:

Marvin Harrison Jr. Is out with appendicitis which is a big bummer for his divisional matchup.

From a technical standpoint, I added in a data source and tool for the AI to check depth charts in order to assist in picking up players. This way it won’t suggest lower players. We can also research picks based on injury. In Marvin Harrison Jr.’s case we can see this:

Cardinals WR Depth Chart:
1. Marvin Harrison Jr. - OUT (your guy who's hurting)
2. Zay Jones - This cat becomes the clear WR1 with Harrison out. He's got experience and should see a big target bump
3. Simi Fehoko - Depth piece, might see some snaps but not a fantasy factor
4. Michael Wilson - Could be interesting as a deeper option, might get more looks
5. Greg Dortch - Slot guy who could see increased usage in 3-WR sets
6. Xavier Weaver - Rookie, probably not fantasy relevant yet

One thing to note is that it doesn’t know about other injury statuses yet. So I will be looking to add that in shortly.

Tied for 1st. Playoffs start soon. Here comes the big push to finish out this season!
