In addition, we have a new tool to help you with your Prop Bets this fall! Check them both out in the Guide! The Clutch Games system was created as a tool to add to your arsenal when you get ready to dominate your league(s). I believe this tool will help any level of Fantasy player.

This tool can help you win as well by helping you understand and identify who the most consistent players are in your league with your scoring method. In addition, you can utilize the same tools that I have used to win my leagues. The Consistency Report allows you to input your leagues scoring methods and determine which players are the most consistent in your league.

I will mention my email here and as well as throughout the book, so if you have a question about anything, please dont hesitate to email me at Clutch Game A player earns a Clutch Game every time his total Fantasy points for a given game exceed the Clutch Factor for the given game. Clutch Factor This is a calculated value for each position (QB, RB, WR and TE) based on the leagues scoring method and the number of teams in your league.

Every player who exceeds this position-specific factor in a given week earns a Clutch Game for the given week. This factor usually identifies (on average) the top 12 quarterbacks, 24 running backs, 36 wide receivers and 12 tight ends each week. Clutch Rate (CR) This is determined by dividing the number of Clutch Games earned by the number of games played in a given time period (season, month, etc.). Players are ranked as follows: Good CR over 60 percent Very good CR over 70 percent Excellent CR over 80 percent Elite CR over 90 percent Expected Clutch Rate (ECR) This is the Clutch Rate or Consistency Rate that Im expecting the player to earn in the current season. Good Defense Team defense is ranked in the Top 10 of the NFL for the week or at year-end. Bad Defense Team defense is ranked 23rd through 32nd of the NFL for the week or at year-end.

If you have been playing Fantasy football for any length of time, you know how frustrating it can be to win by 30 points one week and then lose by two points the next. How many times have you been one of the highest scoring teams in the league, but you missed the playoffs by one or two games? Many will call it bad luck and thats partially true. Injuries to key players, bad weather, etc. are situations that affect our fantasy teams, but are uncontrollable. However, there is one aspect of fantasy football that you can control. The consistency of your team! If youre scratching your head and asking, How can you control consistency, youre not alone.

The topic and its application are still fairly unfamiliar to Fantasy football world. Reasoning and Methodology Its called Clutch Games. Basically, it is the awarding of a Clutch Game to a player each week when they exceed the average points scored in your league for that position. The more Clutch Games a player is awarded each year, the more consistent that player is and the more beneficial they are to your Fantasy team. It is very similar to the Quality Starts concept used for pitchers in Fantasy baseball. A pitcher earns a Quality Start every time they pitch more than six innings and give up less than three earned runs in a game.

The more Quality Starts a pitcher has in a year, the more consistent and more valuable they are to their team. However, Quality Starts do not affect a Fantasy baseball team as much, since its roto-style with accumulative stats. However, in a H2H fantasy baseball format, it can be very important. So, during the 2002 season, I started to research the concept of consistency in Fantasy Football. I knew that just taking the average points (total points/number of games) for each player wasn't valid, because if two players each rushed for 1,280 yards, they both averaged 80 yards per game. There appears to be no difference between the two players for valuation purposes.

BUT, if Player A rushes for exactly 80 yards every week and Player B rushes for 120 yards one week and 40 yards the next week, Player A will probably win you more Fantasy games in the long run. Therefore, it was important to use a game-by-game basis for my valuations. Next step was to set the Clutch Factor. This was the average points that a player needed to meet or exceed to be awarded a Clutch Game for that scoring method and the league size for that week. This was very important as well since basing Clutch Games on just one typical scoring really only help those Fantasy owners using that method. Therefore, a Fantasy owner can input their scoring method into the Consistency Report (http://www.bigguyfantasysports.com/index.php/tools/clutch-report-intro) and determine who the most consistent players are based on their scoring method.
