Fantasy Nation’s Accuracy Rankings Contest 2020

Welcome to season two of Fantasy Nation’s Accuracy Rankings Contest. We cordially invite you to participate to help promote your business or personal brand and win cash prizes along the way.

Our fantasy football accuracy rankings include draft rankings and regular season weekly rankings (calculated using PPR). The winner of these two categories will receive $1,000. Also, the top rankings of each skill position (QB, RB, WR, and TE) will receive $100 each within both categories.

We are limiting category experts to the first 150, so please RSVP if you’re in!

Accuracy Award Methodology
1. Analysts rank their top players for QB, RB, WR, TE that generally matches the number of players rostered in standard leagues
Draft Rankings
- Top 25 QB
- Top 60 RB
- Top 70 WR
- Top 20 TE

Weekly Rankings
- Top 20 QB
- Top 40 RB
- Top 45 WR
- Top 15 TE

2. The lowest rank is given a weight of 1 and it increases linearly for each rank - e.g., QB25 (Draft rankings) is worth 1, QB10 is worth 2.188, QB1 is worth 2.9. This weight is multiplied against the actual PPR points for the player and is then divided by the sum of all the weights. This creates a weighted average per position for each ranker.

3. This number is then multiplied by the average number of starting players in standard leagues to make sure each position is weighted properly:
- QB - 1.1
- RB - 2.4
- WR - 3.5
- TE - 1.2

4. A 'boldness' bonus is calculated for each analyst at each position based on summing the absolute values of their picks vs that of the consensus. So if Ranker A had the consensus QB1 at QB5 and QB5 at QB1, that would equal 8. A bonus of up to 2% the average position score is added based on how far the analyst deviated from the consensus. (In mathy terms, drafting 1 standard deviation or below the average ranker nets a zero bonus. Drafting 2+ standard deviations above the average ranker nets the 2% bonus)
