Project Objective

This is the final project for the Coursera course, Developing Data Products. This project includes

  • A shiny app deployed on RStudio
  • A quick presentation describing the app

Shiny App Use

  • Do you own a fantasy football team?!
  • Are you super competitive?
  • Are you tired of making seemingly "random" decisions
  • Are you tired of hearing constant smack from the rest of your league?

This may be the app for you. In a quick snapshot you can gain insight in to passing yards based off of predictors such as:

  • Opponent defensive rank
  • Opponent
  • Location of the game (home or away), and finally
  • Whether it is a conference game or non-conference game

Data Variables

Snapshot summary of the statistics for Andrew Luck, quarterback for the Indianopolis Colts…and one of my top fantasy performers.
