[accordion title=”A Note for Mobile Users” load=”hide”]How to integrate mobile users in the visualization realm continues to be an issue for users and creators. At this current time we are only publishing desktop ready versions of our graphics. That doesn’t mean we don’t want you to see them. We just hope that you use the sharing features below to facebook, tweet, or email yourself the link so you can enjoy the visualization later.[/accordion]

Available Filters

You can sort all the data in the dashboard by team, position, projected points rank, projected points, and name.

Player Listing

We have all the players listed by the number of points they are projected to score this year. They are also color coded by position so you can differentiate between them.

Points by Rank

This scatter plot was featured earlier in the week and helped to show how many points you should be attempting to get with each draft pick. Since then it has been updated and each position has its own logarithmic tread line. While it might be tough to take it all in at once. Filter by position to see how many points you need a player to have so it its a successful draft pick.

Boxplots

We all know that while all know that quarterbacks are going to score the most points, the scarcity of good players at other positions makes them more valuable. With the box plots you can tell just how valuable a player is when compared with his peers and where just anyone will do when trying to fill the last few spots on your team.

Points by Position and Team

Getting down to the end you are probably getting more concerned with having a good player to fill a bye than who it will be. Use this scatter plot to see what teams have the players expected to score the most points at each position after filtering out the teams on a bye.

Additional Tips

While drafting I have had two of these dashboards available. One that I am leaving static, and another that I am updating as I go by clicking on the players name and exclude. This lets me see what the overall view is and how the draft is progressing.

Also, If you want to have larger graphics, download the workbook and Tableau Public. This will help maximize your size of the graphics and make any adjustments you think you need.  This will give you faster load time and let you make your own cool visualizations in the future.

The data was copy and pasted from ESPN’s Fantasy Football Projections, cleaned in Excel, and the visualization was created in Tableau.
