Welcome to GameDay Edge Week 15 fantasy football community. In last week’s fantasy football GameDay Edge article, I introduced a new pressure chart. This chart showed how often offensive lines gave up pressures versus opposing defensive lines generated pressure above the NFL median. The pressure and explosive matchup charts are very helpful in finding some interesting game analysis.
This offseason I will work on correlating them to the weekly fantasy football outputs. The pressure chart is very informative, especially if there is a glaring miss-match. Take the Seattle-Houston and LA Charges-NY Giants games for example. Both the Texans nor the Giants had really bad matchups in terms of generating any pressure. Both defenses were below the league average in generating pressure, and faced elite pass-blocking units.
The interesting matchup was the Buffalo Bills with their league-leading pressure rate against the Tampa Bay league-lead offensive line allowing the least pressure rate. The chart favored the Buccaneers. Buffalo made a huge mistake by not forgoing the run in the first half.
Check out Week 13’s article for an overview of the development of the Pressure Chart.
