In our Wednesday morning first look at the Week 18 Main Slate, we begin our weekly preparation process by taking a big-picture view of the slate. The goal here is to give you some info-packed visualizations and tables as an appetizer for the much more in-depth main courses that come later in the week. In addition, we want to start to identify the teams and players who are most likely to be popular so we can narrow our focus as soon as possible, and start digging deeper into the pluses and minuses of the players who stand out as potential top options.
Our Week 18 First Look will start out by breaking down the lines and team totals. We are looking both at the best spots overall, and the teams projected to score more than they typically do, which is a sneakier path to success. We are also going to identify the players that are popping out as top values in the early-week Footballguys Consensus Projections. Lastly, we will dig into usage stats and how each player on the slate ranks in key metrics.
