I'm a programmer working on an online fantasy football draft board. In this I would like to find the best and worst draft pick per team based on the projected number of fantasy points for the drafted player and the round that he was taken.
It seemed like a relatively easy problem to solve (and it probably is for y'all), but I am unable to :(.
So here are my thoughts:
| Round | Fantasy Points | Draft Value | ---------------------------------------- | 1 | 300 | 85 | | 2 | 250 | 86 | | 3 | 200 | 86 | | 4 | 210 | 93 | | 5 | 150 | 85 | ..... | 12 | 250 | 99 |
So basically, round 1 you will obviously get a player with a high projection of points, but that doesn't necessarily make it the best draft value. If you were to, say, in the 12th round draft someone with a projected 250 fantasy points, then that would be a much higher draft value than a number 1 pick of 300.
Make sense?
Is there a formula for doing this?
