Fantasy football, an online game where participants assemble virtual teams of real professional players to compete based on the latter’s statistical performance, is extremely popular among NFL amateurs. Back in 2015, fans had few to zero tools to keep track of NFL statistics, which is critical as the number of points earned by fantasy “owners” in their game depends directly on the real NFL players’ performance in the season. The client turned to our data science team for assistance with developing and launching a data analytics tool so that fantasy owners could have all the available NFL statistics at their fingertips. The client wanted to arm fans with an app enabling them to compare one player to another, or players from NFL history to current rookies to make accurate, data-driven decisions during the draft rounds.
