I’ve finally built a scraper to player data from the ESPN site so we can finally look at who’s started what players the most, who’s scoring the most out of the WR/TE slot, who’s scored the least amount of QB points; the skies the limit. You can check out the data yourself for the first breakdown and then check out my notes below. These are the average amount of points started in each roster spot. (*Note that this is by the roster slot not the position)

| TGIF | 21.78 | 8.65 | 9.75 | 9.29 | 11.33 | 6.54 | 6.29 | 11.41 |
| League Average | 17.67 | 12.07 | 9.94 | 9.88 | 9.32 | 8.47 | 8.85 | 6.15 |
Let’s look at the best and worse teams at each position:
Quarterback:
- Best – TGIF – No surprise here as TGIF has rostered three quarterbacks for most of the season and had pretty good luck starting the right one.
- Worst – Shenanihads – With Matt Ryan and the Falcons severely under-performing, this comes as no surprise.
Running Back:
- Best – Boomers – With the trio of Zeke, Gordon, and Ingram, this was also no surprise, although Butthole Surfers are right behind them.
- Worst – The Nibblonians – A sore spot for the Nibblonians with DeMarco Murray and Marshawn Lynch under-performing all season, they’ve haven’t even been able to score 7 points a week from this spot.
Wide Receiver:
- Best – Giant Octopus – Hill, Cooks, and Green are all the top 6 of wide receivers this season.
- Worst – Mega Shark – Golden Tate and Demaryius Thomas have both had down seasons.
RB/WR Flex:
- Best – Boomers – The slot has mostly been held by one of his top 10 RBs.
- Worst – Atoms – I’m sure even the players themselves would be shocked to see themselves in the Atoms flex spot.
WR/TE Flex:
- Best – Shittysauruses – Home of some of the best receivers in the league. How would you like it if Julio Jones was only the third best receiver on your team?
- Worst – Pumaskulls – This one surprised me. Home to mostly Maclin and Decker, they’ve only been able to drum up 6.6 points a week from this position.
Tight End:
- Best – Shenanihads – This guy doesn’t even have Gronk… but Kelce has been pretty fucking legit this season.
- Worst – Atoms – There’s a theme here and Eric Ebron is fucking terrible.
D/ST:
- Best – Surfers – Mostly held by the Ravens, they’ve been averaging almost 15 points a week out of a position that the rest of the league is only averaging 8 out of.
- Worst – Boomers – Falcons, Rams, Bengals, Chiefs, the Boomers are seeing what sticks.
Bench:
- Most Points – TGIF – Again no surprise with three of the best QBs all on one roster.
- Least Points – Atoms – How many of these guys are less than 5% owned? I won’t check.
