Before finalizing your Fantasy roster for Week 5, @TIBCOSpotfire‘s resident sports analytics geek, @Brett2point0, has a few last minute data-driven insights for head-to-head, “start ’em/sit ’em” matchups:
#FantasyFootball insight: Chiefs among bottom 11 #NFL defenses, allow back-breaking pass plays>>result in TDs
The data suggests that Kansas City’s glaring weakness is in the secondary. Good news for owners of Baltimore’s deep threat, Torrey Smith, and quarterback Joe Flacco!
#FantasyFootball insight: despite Atlanta’s above average D, still safe to “run” with RG-III! #NFL #analytics
Given the star rookie’s start, this is a bit of a no-brainer. Though Atlanta is among the top 15 defenses in the league, Washington should have success on the ground as Atlanta allows an average of 147 rushing yards per game (as well as 4+ yards per carry).
So, good luck, and after you bring home a “W” against your friend, work colleague, or crazy uncle . . .
