The Fantasy Football Draft Analyzer assesses 2010 season data by player position including quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends, along with team depth and scoring charts across multiple statistics. For specific player analysis, fans have the ability to drill down using various filters and visualizations to discover statistics such as the amount of passing yards, passing touchdowns, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, and average points scored. The team depth and scoring charts let users drill down to both the team and player level to see yards passed, passed touchdowns, average points per game, total points scored, and more.
