First, find YOUR PLAYER’S TEAM in the first column. Next, follow that line to THEIR POSITION’S column. That percentage is how much better or worse you can expect them to do compared to what they typically score.
Example: Let’s say you’re deciding between Troy Franklin (WR-DEN) and Rhamondre Stevenson (RB-NE). For Franklin, find DEN in the first column. Follow that row over to the WR column, and you’ll see his positional matchup is -02%. That’s a neutral matchup. Next, for Stevenson, find NE in the first column. Follow that row over to the RB column, and you’ll see his positional matchup is 23%, which is a very positive matchup. Given both players are averaging about 10.5 points per game, I would lean Stevenson.
