**Unlock the Secrets of Fantasy Football: Introducing the xFP Leaderboard**
When it comes to fantasy football, understanding player performance is crucial to making informed decisions. That’s where Expected Fantasy Points (xFP) comes in – a metric that strips away individual talent and efficiency, focusing solely on opportunity. By calculating the difference between a player’s actual fantasy point total and their xFP, we can gain valuable insights into their performance.
To adjust for tight end performance, we make the following calculations:
* Rushing attempts remain unchanged
* Rushing yardage is calculated by multiplying rush attempts by the expected yardage based on position and direction
* Rushing touchdowns are based on rushing xTD
* Targets remain unchanged
* Receptions are calculated by multiplying targets by the expected catch rate based on depth, location, and position
* Receiving yardage is calculated by multiplying targets by the expected yardage based on depth, location, and position
* Receiving touchdowns are based on receiving xTD
* Two-point conversions are calculated by multiplying xTD by the league average 2-point rate
* Fumbles lost are calculated by multiplying touches by the league average rate
* Return touchdowns are excluded due to their rarity and randomness
With these adjustments in mind, let’s take a look at the 2024 xFP leaderboard for tight ends:
