 which would be ignored when calculating the improvements to my team’s projected points. I set this to two initially and this allowed my time to coalesce strongly around 14 of the 16 total games. If you look at a screenshot of the tool, you can see that my first six picks all shared the same two byeweeks (those are the weeks where they don’t play in real life and therefore can’t score points).

I turned the “Throwaway Games” parameter down to zero after my initial roster filled to improve my coverage of weeks 5 and 8, but it was clear that this algorithm didn’t do as well for the later draft picks. In retrospect, I would have liked to add a parameter to control calculating the season projections averaged over different scenarios of my current player’s being injured. This would have allowed me to put together a team that was more robust against injuries, something that I realized was really lacking once my initial roster was filled. I’ll likely try to incorporate something like this into my future trade algorithms.

Conclusions

Well, that’s the story of how I stumbled through my first Fantasy Football draft with very little knowledge of, or experience with, football. I have no illusions that any of this was anywhere close to an optimal strategy, but I wanted to figure things out for myself and think I did reasonably well all things considered. I’m pretty sure that I didn’t embarrass myself too badly and a couple people even included me in their playoff predictions! In any case, I certainly had a lot of fun with it and I would like to say a big thanks to everyone in my league, especially to Ted for giving me advice and to Max for hosting us.

 I turned the “ Throwaway Games ” parameter down to zero after my initial roll filled to improve my coverage of weeks 5 and 8, but it was well-defined that this algorithm did n’t do as well for the late draft choice.
