Should You Draft RB or TE? – Average Points/Postion Metric

Fantasy sheets offers metrics and stats that aren’t available on other fantasy football sites. Today’s metric is average fantasy points per position (avg pts /pos). This statistic is particularly useful when comparing players at different positions. Here’s how they break down:

 

Standard   PPR
Pos Avg   Pos Avg
RB 11.26   RB 13.8
WR 8.82   WR 14.0
TE 6.54   TE 13.0
QB 18.16   QB 18.2

As you’ll notice, RB has a huge premium in Standard leagues. They average more almost 2.5 points more than WRs and more than 4.5 points more than TEs. However, in a PPR they actually average fewer points than WRs and less than 1 points more than TE. So know your league’s scoring format. It can make a big difference.
