On this week’s episode of the Football Analytics Show, I talk with Kevin Cole, data scientist and writer with Roto Viz and Fantasy Labs. Among other topics, we discuss the following:
- The unusual but straight forward path Kevin took into football analytics.
- The four variables that matter in predicting running back performance in the NFL.
- What small sample size says about Deshaun Watson versus Mitch Trubisky.
- Why the combine doesn’t matter in predicting wide receivers.
- Kevin’s bold prediction for the 2017 NFL draft, which involves a quarterback.
I also really enjoyed Kevin’s favorite book, as it showed his depth of thought on topics far from sports analytics.
