NBA – Weighted Consensus – December 14

Welcome to the Weighted Consensus for the NBA where we publish a more in-depth version of the NBA Consensus rankings every day that takes into account each expert’s current DailyOverlay score to generate a Weighted Consensus ranking.

To calculate the Weighted Rank Score, each expert’s DailyOverlay score is weighted on a sliding scale from 1 to 5 with the top expert in the current standings being weighted with a five while the last place expert is weighted with a one. If you have ever wondered how to differentiate between two players who were both selected by the same number of experts, then this is the list you need. We also list the projected Ownership Percentages for Cash and GPP leagues to help you identify some players that could be good low-owned contrarian plays. We will include all players that are selected by at least two.

With all of the players sitting out for “rest” on Wednesday, be sure to sign up for our premium content to see who the top experts recommend.

NFL Offensive Tendencies – Week 14

Week 13 went well with my Top Plays for the week finishing in first place out of 22 experts graded in our NFL Week 13 Expert Grading Recap article. I will look to try to build on that success in Week 14 with a full slate of 16 games as we have finally cleared all of the bye weeks. We also start to get into the part of the season where we see more divisional matchups and weather begins to come into play as teams fight for playoff spots.

So let’s get right to the numbers and analysis…

Oakland Raiders @ Kansas City Chiefs

Projected Plays Pass Pass% Pass Yards Pass TD Run Run% Rush Yards Rush TD Score
Oakland Raiders 66 40 60.6% 281 1.9 26 39.4% 113 0.8 21.2
Kansas City Chiefs 62 37 59.7% 279 1.6 25 40.3% 122 1.1 22.6

The Raiders project to throw a few more passes than normal this week on the road in Kansas City. The passing game production, however, will fall in line with their typical yardage and opportunity for two touchdown passes. The running game will fall short of the usual output with a slight decrease in yardage and a significantly lower chance for a rushing score. The Raiders pass over 62% of the time in the red zone.

Look for the Chiefs to run the ball more often than normal this week in an important divisional matchup with the Raiders. The passing game despite fewer attempts will be effective with an increase in yardage and their opportunity for more than one touchdown pass. The running game will also be successful with an increase in yardage and likelihood for at least one rushing score. The Chiefs pass 52% of the time inside the 10 yard line.

Increased Opportunities:

  • Alex Smith and the Chiefs passing game (Spencer Ware) (+)
  • Spencer Ware (++)
