- Determining how Quarterbacks perform when their 'favorite' receiver is on the field vs. off the field (@iliketowel)
- Determining a player's average fantasy football points scored and standard deviation to find consistent players(@front9tech)
- Determining the top fantasy football players during Week 1 from the 2009 thru 2013 seasons(@front9tech)
- Determining the top fantasy football rookies from the 2009 thru 2013 seasons to assist in identifying when to draft rookies during the upcoming fantasy football draft(@front9tech)
