Fantasy Football RB Dashboard: Compare 2-4 Players at Once

The most valuable position in fantasy each year is the running back due to limited workhorses and their consistent workload in every offense. While the best individual player for the position is a considerable and important debate, the importance of the position never goes underestimated.

Before indulging in this useful tool, be sure to have the same advantage when it comes to WR’s, QB’s and D/ST’s by checking out the WR Dashboard, QB Dashboard and D/ST Dashboard at the individual links within this text.

In similar fashion to my WR, QB, and D/ST dashboard , I developed another interactive dashboard that compares up to four RB’s stats from last year, all on the same visual charts for easy comparison and reference:

If the charts don’t appear in the visible window, try moving around the view within the window (sometimes it gives users a default selection of a cell that is out of view of the charts). If there are further problems accessing the charts or navigating the tabs, the next best thing is to download the real file for Excel.

There is a download link for that file of the dashboard for those interested. I recommend downloading as it’s a bit easier to navigate with more space and full functionality, however the benefit can be seen on mobile or desktop devices straight from this webpage.

Fantasy Football WR Dashboard: Compare 2-4 Players at Once

If you have ever wanted an easy and visual way to compare players’ stats, you are on the right part of the internet. I created an interactive dashboard that allows users to filter a set of charts to feature comparable statistics of up to 4 WR’s at a time. The file is available for download at the end of this page, but there is a usable version right here:

The value in this comes from differentiating between WR’s who are more heavily focused and those who take advantage of more opportunities. As long as situational factors are kept in context, this dashboard is an incredible tool to use when compiling fantasy football rankings and settling arguments with the click of a few buttons.

Examples

To better understand how to use the dashboard and how to interpret some results you may see from it, I have included a few screen shots of different player comparisons as well as the commentary to go along with it. To select more than one player, hold control (Windows) or command (Apple) down while clicking multiple players names.

Diggs appears to be a main option when BUF needs to score, yet Waddle averages more points per target, has a higher catch percentage and hauled in more receptions. The ideology that Metcalf is a ‘all-or-nothing’ WR is somewhat visible here given his high touchdowns and yards per reception. But next year he will be rated lower than both of those WR’s (in PPR fantasy), and these charts back that up.
The trio of WR that made it to the super bowl are generally not the WR’s you’ll be comparing most of the time, but this shows additional data that proves what doesn’t need to be said; Chase is the best WR on the team and leads in many statistics, Boyd is the slot WR that moves the chains and Higgins can be a superstar at times.
