Some notes:
Some players that's ADP is over/underrated as compared to their projected points:
- I'm working on getting an easier to read visual for the top 40 WRs and top 40 RBs.
- I wasn't particularly happy with how the k-means algorithm processed the data, having 6 RBs in tier 1 seems excessive. I'd probably rank Forte as a Tier 1B RB and Jeremy Hill a Tier 2B RB.
Some players that's ADP is over/underrated as compared to their projected points:
- Lamar Miller (top-mid Tier 3) has an ADP of 35.7, which is below Frank Gore's ADP 33 (Upper Tier 4) and Alfred Morris's ADP 32.2 (Bottom Tier 3)
- Jonathan Stewart is overvalued with an ADP of 50.7 He's being drafted above the 3 players above in Tier 5 as well as Ellington at the bottom of Tier 4
