Fantasy Football Rankings

Let’s dive into these data visualizations of our fantasy football Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR).

How to Read & Use Charts

These charts visually represent the distribution of player rankings within the dataset, split by each position’s top players. The boxplot displays the statistical summary of the rankings, revealing key insights into their spread and central tendency. The box represents the interquartile range (IQR), with the central line indicating the median ranking for that player. The upper and lower edges of the box denote the first and third quartiles, respectively, while the lines extending past the box show the range of rankings. Players whose rankings are more contentious and volatile will have lines extending further than the box’s width. These can be valuable tools for drafters by identifying the variability and potential outliers in fantasy football player rankings.
