2015 NFL Combine Correlations

By Scott Peak

Last year, I wrote an article entitled NFL Combine Correlations which examined combine scores relative to fantasy production for running backs, wide receivers and tight ends in the 2014 fantasy season. There is much debate about the value of combine metrics, and I’m curious how much they contribute to fantasy production.

This article will examine the 2015 data using similar methods.

Here is a summary of methods used in this data collection:

1. I recorded total fantasy points for the top 36 running backs, wide receivers and tight ends in the 2015 season.

2. For each player, I recorded their NFL Combine performance in the 40 yard dash, bench press, vertical, broad jump, shuttle and 3 cone drill.

3. I grouped 36 players at each position into Tiers 1, 2 and 3. Tier 1 would be the top performers in the combine drill, tier 2 would be middle-of-the-pack and Tier 3 would be the worst performers in each drill.

4. I recorded age for each tier to evaluate whether this could be a confounding variable.

5. I recorded ADP from My Fantasy League.
