Huge hire
Hasn’t been getting many points lately. Ready to give up on him. Any insight whether to expect him to do any better ROS??
Edit: non-ppr league

The intent of Fantasy Games Won is to make a better metric than "points scored" to facilitate looking back at the fantasy season and saying "hey, that guy scored a lot of points!" A player that frustrates the hell out of ya and scores all his points on your bench, or overkills each time he has a good game, won't have a FGW score as good as his points total.
Marquise Brown is so far the quintessential player in this regard. By scoring, he's a borderline top 5 WR. But because he did so much work on the bench in weeks 1-5, he's more like an average WR, coming in at WR19 in FGW.
He's the captain of my JV fantasy team!
This is an abbreviated version of my full write-up here: https://byroncobalt.com/2021/11/18/marquise-brown-is-king-of-the-bench-fantasy-games-won-fgw-week-10-update/
For an explanation of how this scoring system works, see the initial write-up from after Week 1: https://byroncobalt.com/2021/09/19/introducing-the-fantasy-game-wins-fgw-fantasy-football-player-scoring-system/
TL;DR: FGW (Fantasy Games Won) is the total improvement a player makes to your % chance of winning each week. Going from 50% chance to 90% chance is 0.40 - unless the player was started in less than 100% of leagues, where 0.40 is multiplied by % started for the week. So 10% started brings 0.40 down to 0.04.
Percent started is not based on real percentages, but approximated "good fantasy player" percentages, which are predicted by expert rankings.
dFGW is FGW adjusted for ADP.
Housekeeping
Last week was probably my first real "HOT TAKE" of the year (call it a COBALT BOMB!) As a post-mortem for the debates, here are a few planned upgrades to the metric:
- Seasonality - Expectations for points scored probably change in the winter
- Playoffs - A player that hurt your chances at making the playoffs should have his impact throttled accordingly come playoff time.
- Replacement Starter vs. Average Starter - 0 FGW = Average Starter. A 1st round player leaving a gaping hole in your lineup is probably a bit more detrimental than defaulting to an average starter would show.
- Weekly Variance - It could be worth a look to see if certain players always seemed to do well in high scoring weeks, or vice versa, and if it impacts year-end
