Welcome to the Utilization Report
Welcome to Dwain McFarland's Utilization Report, where we track player role and utilization to forecast future performance. Everything you need to start can be found here.
The Utilization Report is the preeminent source for player utilization data for fantasy football and betting purposes.
It tracks everything you need to know about how a player is being used on a weekly basis, allowing you to make more informed decisions in your fantasy football leagues and in the player prop market.
The Utilization Report is pillared into four main components, outlined below:
Game Logs: Tracks player at the four main fantasy positions--QB, WR, TE, and RB--and highlights their performance across a variety of categories. It does so on a weekly basis, so you can see how a player’s role might be adjusting throughout the course of the year.
Player Comparison: View players’ utilization stats in a side-by-side comparison. Each player is given a player “utility card”, which displays all of their most important utilization stats on a season-long basis. This allows you to compare and contrast player’s utilization stats visually, including the brand-new Utilization Scores.
Season Stats: This is where you can track utilization stats for players throughout the entirety of the season from a season-long average perspective. The Game Log page allows you to drill-down on a weekly basis, but season stats operate as the database for overall utilization stats, much like any traditional season stat table.
Team Styles: Examine a team's overall utilization style and team-specific trends, including their pace of play, their pass vs. rush tendencies, and how effective they are at these specific things.
All of this data helped develop the brand-new Utilization Score, which “represents the strength of a player's role and performance relative to their peers. It is a weighted calculation incorporating the most predictive data points associated with scoring future points at the RB, WR, and TE positions since 2020.”
