On Vacation — the fruit fly’s fantasy football rankings for week 6 have been up.
Spent the week rewiring the data ingestion pipelines to give the fly more context.
Check it out here: goodguy.ai/labs/fruit-fly
The Fantasy Fruit Fly’s Week 5 Sunday rankings are up.
Fresh injury reports, updated availability, and a full board: QB, RB, WR, TE, D/ST and FLEX. PPR and Half PPR.
The little guy has 490 calls on the page. Let’s see how they hold up.
Last week, in Half PPR, the Fly edged FantasyPros ECR at QB and TE on our matched-player rank test.
Average places off:
QB: Fly 10.18 / ECR 10.70
TE: Fly 19.15 / ECR 19.55
ECR was better overall. We’ve got the position breakdowns and downloads on the site.
Football people, researchers, builders: feedback and collaboration are welcome.

The Fantasy Fruit Fly is getting better every week.
In Week 4, its rankings outperformed 6/8 of the top fantasy sports experts we compare to, and edged FantasyPros ECR at QB and TE, essentially tied it at RB and DST, and was close but measurably worse at WRs!
Week 5 is up!

The Fantasy Fruit Fly got some upgrades (better data to work with), and is here with its Week 3 Rankings! 🧵
+ 530 entries, all 16 games, & a much better way to follow the experiment
- competing against the fruit fly has been pushed back to week 6 so the fly has time to LEARN
