Team Strengths and Weaknesses¶

This analysis compares your team's Value Over Replacement (VOR) at each position against the league average for top-tier players. A positive difference means your players at that position are, on average, more valuable than the league's top players.

💪 Strongest Position: Your SS group is your team's biggest strength.

🤔 Area for Improvement: Your RB group is the most immediate area to upgrade. Consider targeting players at this position.

Positional Breakdown (VOR vs. League Average)¶

Last Game Analysis¶

It appears there might be a significant misunderstanding regarding the NFL calendar and fantasy football season.

Week 22 of the 2024 NFL season would fall well into late February or early March 2025, which is long after the NFL regular season and playoffs (including the Super Bowl) have concluded.

Therefore, the reason your team scored 0.00 points and had no individual player stats is not due to poor performance by your players, but simply because no NFL games were being played by these teams or players in Week 22. All NFL players were in their offseason.

Let's break down your request based on this crucial context:

1. Evaluation of My Team's Performance in Week 22¶

You did poorly in Week 22, scoring 0.00 points.

Why? Because the 2024 NFL season (and by extension, the 2024 fantasy football season) was completely over by Week 22. All your players were in their offseason and were not playing any games. This is not a reflection of your team's talent or your management, but simply a matter of the calendar.

2. Specific Suggestions for Improvement (Considering the Offseason)¶

Since the 2024 season is over, these suggestions are geared towards preparing for the 2025 fantasy football season.

• Review Your Roster's Value for 2025:

  • Quarterback: Jordan Love had a strong finish to 2024. He looks like a solid QB½ for 2025.
  • Running Backs:
    • D'Andre Swift had a good season with the Eagles, but his contract situation for 2025 will be key. He's an UFA.
    • Brian Robinson Jr. is a decent volume back but lacks explosive upside.
    • Jaylen Warren is a strong PPR option, especially if Najee Harris leaves or struggles.
    • Ty Chandler showed flashes but will face competition.
    • Blake Corum is a rookie who hasn't played an NFL snap yet. His value will depend entirely on his draft capital and landing spot in the 2025 NFL Draft.
  • Tight End: Trey McBride had a breakout year and looks like a top-tier TE for 2025.
  • Wide Receivers:
    • CeeDee Lamb is an elite, top-5 fantasy WR.
    • Puka Nacua was a sensation in his rookie year and is a high-end WR½.
    • DK Metcalf is a boom-or-bust WR2, still capable of big games.
    • Drake London possesses immense talent but is highly dependent on QB play for the Falcons. Monitor their QB situation closely.
    • Jaxon Smith-Njigba had an up-and-down rookie year but has high potential. Could take a step forward in year two.
    • Jakobi Meyers is a reliable slot receiver, especially in PPR, but has a limited ceiling.
  • Kicker & D/ST: These positions are highly streamable and generally not worth holding onto during the offseason.
  • IDP (Individual Defensive Players):
    • Zaire Franklin is a tackle machine, excellent in IDP leagues.
    • Maxx Crosby is an elite pass rusher, valuable for sacks.
    • Aidan Hutchinson is a rising star on the defensive line, also great for sacks.
    • Brian Branch showed promise as a rookie DB, good for tackles and pass deflections.

• Monitor Offseason News:

  • Free Agency (March 2025): Where do players like D'Andre Swift land? Which teams sign big-name QBs that could impact WRs like Drake London?
  • NFL Draft (April 2025): Where does Blake Corum get drafted? Do the Chiefs draft a new RB that impacts Swift if he were to sign there? Do the Falcons draft a QB, or sign one?
  • Coaching Changes: New offensive coordinators can significantly alter player usage and fantasy value.
  • Injuries: Keep an eye on any players from your roster who might be recovering from late-season injuries.

• Waiver Wire/Trade Targets: These concepts are irrelevant during the offseason. Instead, focus on Dynasty/Keeper League considerations if your league allows it, assessing which players are worth retaining or trading for future draft capital.

3. Identify Any Underperforming Players on My Team (for 2024, or projecting for 2025)¶

No one "underperformed" in Week 22 specifically because no games were played.

Looking back at the entire 2024 season, relative to their draft capital or expectations, some players on your roster might have been considered "underperforming" or "disappointing" at various points, or carry that risk into 2025:

• Brian Robinson Jr.: Often relies on volume and touchdowns, which can be inconsistent. His efficiency can be a concern.
• Ty Chandler: Had a few good weeks but often struggled for consistent touches/production.
• Drake London: While talented, his fantasy output was often stifled by poor QB play in Atlanta. If the Falcons don't get a significant QB upgrade in 2025, he might continue to underperform his talent.
• Jaxon Smith-Njigba: As a rookie, he didn't quite live up to his draft hype, often behind Metcalf and Lockett in targets. He has breakout potential for 2025, but his 2024 season might have been considered a slight underperformance by some.

4. Suggest Potential Strategies for the Upcoming Weeks (i.e., The Offseason and 2025 Season Prep)¶

1. Dynasty/Keeper League Analysis (if applicable):

   • Core Keepers: CeeDee Lamb, Puka Nacua, Trey McBride, Jordan Love, Zaire Franklin, Maxx Crosby, Aidan Hutchinson are all strong assets.
   • Trade Considerations: If you're in a dynasty league, evaluate players like Swift (UFA) or Corum (rookie) for their potential in 2025 based on their landing spots. Could you trade for draft picks if you have too many aging assets, or trade picks for proven talent?

2. Redraft League Strategy for 2025:

   • Early Draft Prep: Start following mock drafts, rookie profiles, and free agency moves to get a sense of player values for the next season.
   • Target Upside: Your team has a good mix of established stars and high-upside players (Nacua, McBride, JSN). Continue to prioritize players with pathways to significant target shares, clear starting roles, and high-volume opportunities.
   • QB/TE Strategy: Love and McBride are a strong core. You might be able to wait on QB if Love is your guy, but having a top-tier TE is a distinct advantage.
   • RB Diversity: You have a mix of power backs and PPR backs. Watch the offseason carefully for any changes to backfields (draft picks, free agency signings) that could impact Swift, Robinson, or Warren.
   • WR Depth: Lamb and Nacua are excellent. Metcalf, London, and JSN provide good depth with varying levels of risk/reward.
   • Draft Position Consideration: Think about how your league's draft order for 2025 might impact your strategy.

3. Stay Informed: Follow reputable fantasy football news sources, podcasts, and analysts throughout the offseason. They will cover all the crucial NFL events that directly impact fantasy values for 2025.

In summary, don't worry about Week 22 of 2024. Your team scored 0.00 because the season was over! Start thinking about how to leverage your current roster's strengths and adapt to the NFL offseason changes to dominate the 2025 fantasy football season.
