League-Wide Positional Scoring
How well do you really know your fantasy team? Perception does not always match performance. To identify each team’s strengths and weaknesses, I analyzed every starting lineup across the league.
The analysis includes only points scored while players were in a team’s starting lineup. It excludes points scored while those players were on the bench, available as free agents, or rostered by another team.
The variances below by team shows the league-wide scoring breakdown by position. Based on each team’s average weekly point total through Week 7, your lineup’s variance to league average is as follows:
How to Interpret the Team Variances
MKBA provides a useful example. The team is currently scoring +20.12 points per game above the league average.
Primary strength—Flex: MKBA’s Flex players are averaging +17.62 more points per game than the league average, accounting for most of the team’s overall advantage.
Potential opportunity—Tight end: The team’s tight ends are averaging -3.84 fewer points per game than the league average.
Although tight end is the clearest area for potential improvement, the rest of the lineup is performing so well that Pete is better off leaving the roster unchanged.
Impact of the New Roster Rules
I also compared this season’s positional scoring with last season’s results to show how the new roster rules have affected overall scoring.
Through Week 7, average scoring has increased by 13.99 points per game, rising from 132.84 points per game in 2025 to 146.83 this season.
· Additional flex position: +11.44 points per game
· Quarterbacks: +1.25 points per game
· Wide receivers: +2.37 points per game
· D/ST: −1.84 points per game
· Running backs and tight ends: Relatively unchanged from last season
