Fantasy Data from 2021 Season
This dataset is of Fantasy Football statistics from the 2021-2022 NFL season. This data came from an online website that published the top 300 fantasy points scorers for the 2021-2022 season. I copied this data into an excel sheet and then cleaned it up to make it legible. This data is structured including the players names, team, and rank, followed by their individual in-game stats. The final section includes their fantasy points and points per game.
First Analysis
For the first analysis I will be answering the question of which teams score the most fantasy points from touchdowns. I will be using the REC_TD, Rush_TD, Pass_TD, and Team to create a new column that calculates how much each individual scored from touchdowns in the given year. This will be calculated by multiplying each individual variable by their respective point values and putting together a sum. I will then break it out by team to see which teams scored the most points from touchdowns in fantasy. Below are the variables used and their descriptions.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| REC_TD | How many receiving touchdowns a player had |
| Rush_TD | How many rushing touchdowns a player had |
| Pass_TD | How many passing touchdowns a player had |
| Team | Which team a player is on |
Summary statistics
The bar graph shows us that there are about an even number of teams that score a similar amount of touchdowns. There are no real outliers that have more than everyone else. However, there are some teams that have a lot less than everyone else, such as Jacksonville and New York Giants.
