Fantasy Football Prediciton - the road to victory!

This is part of a project that I'm working on to construct a model to determine which player to use for any given week based off of a set of predictors.

I analyzed three predictors when determining the performance and the ultimate point performance of my current player, Cam Newton.

  • Opposing team defensive rank
  • Location of game
  • Team Played
