Opening
If you’ve been playing fantasy football for a while, then you’ve probably heard the term “floor” being thrown around. But what does it really mean? Knowing a player’s Floor is important to understand if you want to maximize your chances of success in your fantasy league. Let’s take a look at what it means and why it matters.
What Does Floor Mean in Fantasy Football?
In fantasy football, floor refers to the minimum level of performance that a player can expect from a particular week or season. It is based on their past performance and the potential for growth or regression. For example, if a player has consistently put up 10 points per game over the past few weeks, that would be their floor. That means that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you can expect them to score at least 10 points every week.
Why Does Floor Matter?
Understanding the concept allows you to gauge how reliable a certain player will be as part of your team. If their floor is high, they are more likely to give you consistent results from week to week and season to season.
However, if their floor is low, they may not provide the same level of reliability and could potentially hurt your chances of winning more games in your league. Knowing a player’s floor helps you make better decisions when it comes to building your team roster.
What Having A Higher Floor Means
It’s also worth noting that players with higher floors tend to come with higher price tags in terms of salary cap or auction values than players with lower floors. This means that if you’re looking for reliable and consistent production out of certain players, it may cost more than if you were willing to take a chance on someone with less reliable production but potentially greater upside (i.e., ceiling).
