I wrote a Fantasy Football statistical regression program. I feed it weekly stats and it spits out rankings. It will compute stats more accurately as teams settle in and start to show their true colors. Also, keep in mind that it does not know when players get injured in practice or in games, and/or when players commit stupid crimes and get arrested, so you might see players on a list for the next week who are actually out.
Let's see how well it does on its inaugural run...
