NFL Combine Correlations

By Scott Peak

In the next installment of NFL Combine Correlations, we will examine the influence of combine metrics on the fantasy production for wide receivers during the 2015 season.

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

1. I recorded total fantasy points for the top 36 wide receivers (PPR scoring).

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 all 36 players 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.

Not all drills have 36 scores available as some athletes missed drills due to injury or other reasons.
